Window film is everywhere!!! Honestly, there is not a single city in the U.S. that doesn't have window film installed somewhere. It could be the name and logo of a company, a storefront filled with advertisements, patterns or stripes, signs and way-finding, colors and gradients. It often goes unnoticed because it could be used to prevent UV-rays, potential outside threats, or you might be reading what a sign says and not thinking about how it is actually just window film.
