What is CloakVu™?
CloakVu™ is a specialized privacy window film designed to obscure digital screens from side angles. It allows individuals inside a space to maintain clear visibility while limiting the ability of others to view sensitive information displayed on monitors. This is especially relevant in corporate offices and meeting environments where confidential business information, financial data, or client communications may be visible on screens.

What is SmartVu™?
SmartVu™ is a switchable privacy film that transitions between transparent and opaque states using electrical current. The transition happens in 10ms, which is fast enough that users experience near-immediate privacy control.

How do they support privacy and confidentiality?
CloakVu™ supports confidentiality by helping prevent unintended viewing of on-screen information in open and glass enclosed office environments. It is well-suited for corporate offices, financial institutions, healthcare settings, and government facilities where protecting visual access to sensitive content is important.

SmartVu™ provides on-demand privacy for entire spaces, making it ideal for conference rooms, executive offices, and meeting areas where discussions and presentations require visual separation. It enables teams to control when a space is open (visible) and when it is private, supporting both collaboration and confidentiality.

Both solutions address privacy in different ways—CloakVu™ focuses on protecting what is displayed on screens, while SmartVu™ controls visibility into the space itself.

Recent events continue to reinforce the importance of safety and preparedness in houses of worship—spaces designed to provide peace, community, and refuge.

As highlighted in the latest issue of Window Film Magazine, the conversation around security is evolving, along with the role of window film professionals in supporting these environments.

In Seeking Sanctuary: What to Know about Working on Houses of Worship, author Abby Bowman outlines key considerations for glazing contractors, facility leaders, and design professionals. The article also features insights from Jeff Franson, President & CEO of FutureVu Brands, the parent company of Window Film Depot and Impact Security.

From a window film perspective, key takeaways include:

• The importance of educating clients on what security window film can—and cannot—do
• How to guide diverse decision-makers with varying levels of technical knowledge
• Why site-specific evaluations are critical to understanding performance expectations
• How aging structures can impact retrofit strategies and product selection

For Window Film Depot, this reinforces a broader responsibility: helping clients make informed, realistic decisions that align with both security goals and building conditions.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Effective security planning starts with education, careful assessment, and a commitment to doing what is right for each facility and its occupants.

Why Birds Hit Glass and How to Stop It

Bird-window collisions are a growing concern in commercial building design—especially as glass façades continue to expand across modern architecture. What may appear as open sky or reflected landscape to birds can result in preventable impacts that affect both wildlife and building performance strategies.

This article breaks down:
🦅 Why birds strike glass, including the role of reflection and transparency
🦅 How bird-safe design is becoming part of sustainability and ESG conversations
🦅 Practical, retrofit-friendly solutions that do not require full glass replacement
🦅 Key considerations for architects, facility managers, and building owners

As the industry continues to prioritize daylighting and aesthetics, integrating bird deterrence is evolving from a “nice-to-have” into a more responsible standard for commercial buildings.

The article also introduces solutions such as BirdseyeVu™ powered by Feather Friendly®, designed to help reduce bird collisions while maintaining design intent.
