Project Overview

Location: Milwaukee Art Museum, 700 N. Art

Challenge

The Milwaukee Art Museum, with its striking architecture by Calatrava, required a window film solution that not only respected but also complemented its design ethos. The primary challenge was the replication of the museum’s existing oversized glass panels to ensure a seamless integration of the new privacy film. The project demanded a high degree of accuracy and aesthetic sensitivity, alongside the need to navigate the logistical complexities associated with handling and installing film on large glass surfaces. Additionally, the insistence on using PVC Free PET window film presented material constraints that demanded a thoughtful approach to meet the project’s sustainability and performance criteria.

NuVision Window Film and Graphics approached the project with a comprehensive strategy, beginning with an in-depth analysis of the museum’s architectural nuances and existing glass installations. Utilizing cutting-edge graphic design tools, the team achieved a near-perfect replication of the existing glass patterns, ensuring that the custom-printed film would harmoniously blend with the museum’s iconic design.

The selection of a PVC Free PET window film was critical, aligning with the museum’s commitment to sustainability without compromising the film’s quality or durability. This material choice not only supported environmental goals but also provided the required aesthetic finish and privacy control, crucial for maintaining the museum’s visual and functional integrity.

The installation process was meticulously planned and executed, employing specialized techniques tailored to the challenges of oversized glass panels. The team’s expertise allowed for precise application, ensuring that each panel of the custom-printed decorative film was flawlessly integrated into the museum’s expansive glass surfaces.

Results

The installation of the custom print decorative white frost privacy film at the Milwaukee Art Museum was a resounding success.
