Transforming L. I. High School: A Decorative Film Installation Journey

At The Glass Protector, we've been in the business of window tinting and decorative film installation for over two decades. Our journey has taken us to various locations across New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, each project presenting its unique challenges and rewards. This case study takes you through one such project at the L. I. High School in Mineola, NY.

The Challenge: Privacy and Aesthetics

When we were first approached by the school administration, their concern was clear – they wanted to ensure privacy for the young men and women on the swim team without compromising on aesthetics or natural light. The swimming pool area had a bank of windows overlooking a courtyard where people could stand outside to watch.

Initial Consultation: Understanding Needs and Providing Solutions

Our initial consultation involved measuring the windows and providing a few options for the client to consider. We asked if they wanted full height coverage or a certain particular height for the film installation. They chose to come down several inches from the top to allow more light to come through.

Finding the Perfect Balance with Fine Crystal Frost

The client chose Fine Crystal Frost, a beautiful film that struck a perfect balance between privacy and visibility. This film allowed people outside to notice that there was activity inside without actually being able to see in. The people inside, on the other hand, got the privacy they needed to carry out their practice sessions.

Decorative Film Installation: A Seamless Process

Since all the windows were the same exact size, we pre-cut the film. This decision was made to avoid bringing a whole bunch of equipment into the pool area, especially with the swim season starting. The young men and women often times were practicing, so we did everything we could to accommodate their practice sessions and not interfere with them.

The Result: A Perfect Marriage of Privacy and Light

The Fine Crystal Frost film transformed the swimming pool area. It provided the necessary privacy for the swim team while allowing enough light to filter through. The result was a space that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Lessons Learned and Looking Ahead

This project taught us the importance of understanding our client's needs and providing solutions that meet those needs without compromising on aesthetics or functionality. We continue to apply these lessons in our ongoing projects.
