RiNo Window Film in Denver's River North Art District

Anti-Graffiti and Security Film for RiNo Businesses

RiNo is famous for street art, and building owners commission murals on purpose. Glass is a different story. Storefronts on Larimer and Walnut, taproom windows along Brighton Boulevard and gallery fronts get tagged, etched and occasionally broken, and nobody wants a scratched-up window in the middle of a painted wall.

On the street face of the glass we lay down a throwaway clear sheet; once somebody gouges or paints it, a fresh sheet replaces it in minutes. Security film on the inside holds glass together after a smash attempt, slowing entry and keeping shards off the floor. Many RiNo businesses use both on the same storefront.

Window Film for Converted Warehouses and Creative Offices

Older brick and concrete warehouses in RiNo have big industrial windows, garage-style roll-up doors with glass panels, and skylights. Converted into breweries, design studios and coworking spaces, they let in a lot of light and heat. Afternoon sun through west-facing roll-up doors can make a taproom uncomfortable and wash out every screen in a studio.

Solar and glare films tame that without killing the industrial look. Frosted and patterned film is common inside, defining phone booths, private offices and meeting rooms within open warehouse floors. For tenant improvements, film is installed after the build-out and comes off cleanly at lease end.

Window Film for New RiNo Apartments and Offices

Brighton Boulevard and the blocks around the 38th and Blake commuter rail station have seen a wave of new apartment buildings and modern office space. Many have floor-to-ceiling glass and units that face the rail lines, the Platte, or each other across narrow streets. Residents deal with afternoon heat, privacy from the building across the way, and glare from neighboring glass.

Property managers handle film decisions for the building's exterior, so we work through them for approval. Inside individual units, residents often choose privacy film for bedrooms and bathrooms that face another building, and heat control film on the west side. Office tenants use glare and conference room privacy film.

UV Film for RiNo Galleries and Studios

Galleries and artist studios have a direct stake in ultraviolet. Paintings, prints, photographs and textiles fade when exposed to sunlight, and RiNo's big warehouse windows let in plenty. Clear UV film blocks nearly all ultraviolet while keeping the light quality artists and gallery visitors want.

Where direct sun hits walls with work on display, a film that also reduces visible light and heat gives further protection. We can mix films within a space, using clear film on north glass and stronger film on south and west openings. Painters and photographers who care about color temperature should look at samples under their own lights first, since some films shift the light very slightly cooler or warmer. We bring a few options so the call is made in the room itself.
