A brief history of the privacy screen
Privacy screens are defined as a room divider or folding screen. These objects are made up of 5 or 6 wooden panels that are connected by hinges. These screens are lightweight and easily moved from room to room.
Privacy screens originated in China as early as 600 B.C. They were initially used to block drafts in homes. They became prominent in various cultures in Asia until finally reaching Europe. France obtained Chinese privacy screens around the 18th century. They were considered works of art as much as they were functional.
In Europe privacy screens provided discretion for individuals, when they wanted to change clothing. But this period in European history was known for opulence. Thus, this Asian culture’s art form was considered chic in England and Europe.
These objects of art were often painted. Flowers, landscapes, and other scenery were rendered onto the panels. as time progressed, scenes were added to paper or silk before being applied to the panels. Eventually, European versions began to over their privacy screens in striking tapestries.

It’s also a quick process that requires little to no downtime for your business. Often, installation crews will go in after hours and install window film so that business isn’t interrupted.
As square footage is coveted office spaces are being partitioned off with glass walls. This is a great space-saving option. However, it does nothing to provide privacy. This is where decorative window film comes in. By adding privacy window film to the glass partitions, not only is confidentiality ensured but a redesign is also provided.
