Single Direction Fade
Gradient film that fades from frosted to clear in one direction — the standard conference room privacy solution for Philadelphia offices.
About Single Direction Fade
Single Direction Fade films from the SOLYX® Gradient Fading collection produce a graduated transition from frosted opacity at one edge of the glass to clear at the other. The standard configuration — frosted at the top, clear at the bottom — creates a seated privacy band that blocks sightlines at head height while preserving floor-level visibility and connection to the broader open-plan environment. This configuration has become the definitive specification for conference room glass in Philadelphia's open-plan office buildings because it solves the privacy problem without making the room feel closed.
For Center City law firms, financial services companies, and technology tenants in University City and the Navy Yard, the single-direction fade delivers a result that looks like intentional design rather than a retrofit. The gradient reads as an architectural feature — a treatment that was always part of the space — rather than film applied to solve a problem. This distinction matters in client-facing environments where visual professionalism is a proxy for the quality of the services delivered behind the glass.
Single Direction Fade also works in residential applications where a full privacy frosted treatment would feel oppressive. A frosted-top, clear-bottom configuration on a Philadelphia rowhome's street-facing living room window blocks sightlines from passing pedestrians without cutting off the light and view that makes the room livable. The gradient preserves the quality of the interior experience while satisfying the privacy requirement.
Single Direction Fade films are available in standard heights of 60" and 71" for floor-to-ceiling glass. Custom heights are available through the SolyxIQ digital print platform. Films block 99% of UV and apply to interior glass.
