Specifically, two types of 3M films supported the vision for this installation —3M Controltac Graphic Film IJ180CV3, opaque for the windowless surfaces, and 3M Scotchcal Perforated Window Graphic 8170-P40, perforated to cover the windows. The perforated film allows for 60% of light to transfer through the window into the space inside, while still reflecting color on the outside and providing viewability from the inside out.
