Office Glass Walls Walkthrough — Thousand Oaks

This is a 38-second landscape walkthrough of the whole floor, shot after the film was on. It starts in front of a conference room with a large table and black office chairs, passes glass swing doors with long black pull handles, runs down a corridor lined with glass rooms, goes round a corner room beside a white column, and ends in the lobby lounge with its black curved sofas, round chairs and coffee tables. The floor is a light wood-look plank under a grid ceiling of square light panels, and past the corner room you can see the building's outer windows and the trees outside, so you can judge how much of that daylight still reaches the hallway when a room goes white.

The glass keeps changing as the camera moves. At about two seconds the first room is frosted up close; from about six to eleven seconds the rooms along the corridor switch as the camera walks past; around 12 to 17 seconds a room with a whiteboard and wall screens goes clear and then white; and from about 24 seconds the long lounge-facing wall switches several times. That last stretch is the view visitors in the lounge get: a clean white wall instead of a meeting in progress. The door leaves change with the fixed panels, so a closed room reads as one solid white wall.

What was installed: 433 sq ft of switchable smart film on the existing frameless glass of four conference rooms and the lounge, each room switched on a handheld remote.

Does the frosted glass make the rooms dark? No. Frosted, the film still passes light, so the interior rooms stay bright with the doors shut.

Is frosted smart film private at night? Yes. At night a frosted wall still hides the room; someone pressed right up against the glass shows only as a soft silhouette.
