At William Smith Group 1832, we recently faced a unique problem of our own. The day-to-day availability of meeting rooms was becoming an increasing issue. With limited space to work with, we decided to get creative and transform a small area in our Marketing Office foyer into a functional meeting room.

The Context and Challenge

Our goal was to create a glass partition instead of a solid wall to keep the natural light flowing through the only window in the room while still ensuring privacy.

While a solid wall would have solved the space issue, it would block the natural light coming through the window, making the entrance too dark. Once the new ‘Glass Room’ was installed, we realised the need for a decorative window film that could perfectly balance natural light transmission with style and privacy.

Choosing VION Reeded Glass

To tackle this challenge, we decided to go with VION Reeded Glass from our wide range of window film solutions. This innovative window film turned out to be the perfect choice.

VION Reeded Glass provided the ideal balance between privacy and light transmission. Its reeded design obscured visibility from the outside, allowing us to hold meetings in private while still enjoying plenty of natural light. This combination was essential to ensure that the entranceway remained welcoming and well-lit.

Beyond its practical advantages, VION Reeded Glass added a touch of sophistication and modern style to the space. The reeded pattern created an inviting and visually captivating atmosphere, enhancing the overall look of our Marketing Office.

Results and Impact

The new glass room has been a big hit with staff at William Smith and is now the ideal spot for smaller meetings of 2-4 people. This transformation not only solved our immediate need for more meeting space but also added a touch of innovation and flair to our Marketing Office.

The swift installation of VION Reeded Glass in our 'Glass Room' was expertly executed by our Training and Application Manager, John Raine, taking only an hour to accomplish. This yet again underscores the remarkable efficacy of window films in swiftly achieving a significant transformation in such a short amount of time.

The installation of VION Reeded Glass in our ‘Glass Room’ is a prime example of how to tackle unique challenges with creative solutions. This case study highlights how our choice of VION Reeded Glass successfully balanced our need for privacy and natural light, creating a functional meeting space that's both visually appealing and highly practical. The glass room has made a positive impact on our organisation, effectively addressing our need for smaller meeting spaces while maintaining an inviting entranceway.
