USGS Project - Frosted Waves

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) recently contracted Florida Window Films to provide privacy and character to the Director's new office windows. The office is located in the main entrance area and they wanted something more than a typical privacy film.

The USGS logo provided the nice wave pattern they desired. Once the wave pattern was adjusted for size we decided to add their full logo to the door.


The finished project. Different opaqueness levels were achieved by layering our white matte frost film. This allows light into the office while providing complete privacy and a stunning look.



Step one was applying a copy plate to the windows. This helps us line up the individual pieces that make up the first layer of the wave, as well as the lettering and logo for the door. Copy plates make the job fast and easy.

Copy plates are in place. They are reversed so the window film can be installed on the opposite side of the glass
The copy plate is lined up and leveled and the installation process has begun. Instead of using transfer tape, each letter was placed by hand.
The next step was starting to apply the first layer of the wave pattern. A simple process of cleaning the surface and applying the film. Lining up each piece is a breeze with the copy plates installed.

Piece by piece the wave is starting to take shape.
Removing the copy plates shows it all starting to take shape.

After all the first layer pieces are installed. The windows are carefully cleaned again and a full layer of white matte frost is installed to cover the entire window.

The final product is striking and useful. The customer gets the privacy they desire while adding beauty and design to the workplace.

Project complete and the USGS is ecstatic!
