We offer specialized project management for Construction, Tenant Improvement (TI) and Project Improvement. Glass and smooth surfaces suffer a wide variety of issues across the country. Many of our clients find our services to be an excellent fit which helps them meet branding, safety, surface protective and energy reducing concerns.

Glass is an excellent substrate for optical clarity but it tends to allow excellent penetration from sun, weather and criminals.

Our commitment to green, LEED and sustainability measures is firmly recognized as we strive to help retail/national accounts manage property needs across the county. From safety and anti-graffiti, to solar and tenant improvement, HDClear products like HDBarrier fulfil our promise for a ‘greener’ planet. We utilize recycled products, our installations reduce landfill waste and our films help reduce energy usage during peak demand. Yep, we do a pretty good job of helping property managers and national accounts to reduce their footprint.

HDBarrier: Construction, Tenant Improvement (TI) and Project Protection

Each of the films below offers benefits that address most issues with glass and smooth surfaces. Often times the extra care taken in protecting the jobsite more than offsets the cost of material and installation. ‘Measure Twice Cut Once’, ‘Safety First’, ‘Keep Work Areas Clean’ – these films are the moral equivalent of common sense construction site practices.

Protecting the areas not being worked keeps headaches from happening before, during, and after construction. Clients see areas protected and know the General Contractor they hired takes special care. Such goodwill is invaluable during construction.
