Our team installed 3M Dusted Crystal Privacy Film, a high-quality decorative film that provides discreet privacy while allowing natural light to filter through.

The Challenge: Creating Privacy Without Compromising Design
Tesla’s Austin, TX headquarters features a contemporary office layout with glass-walled meeting rooms designed to promote openness and collaboration. However, executives and employees needed enhanced privacy for sensitive discussions without resorting to blinds, curtains, or frosted glass that would detract from the modern aesthetic. Tesla sought a high-end, subtle solution that would provide discreet privacy without blocking light or making spaces feel enclosed.
The Solution: 3M Dusted Crystal Privacy Film
To meet these needs, our team selected 3M Dusted Crystal Privacy Film, a premium etched-glass alternative that offers elegant translucency while obscuring visibility. This film was the ideal choice because it provides sophisticated, frosted privacy without sacrificing the open, light-filled atmosphere that Tesla values. The subtle texture and soft diffusion of the film ensure that meeting rooms remain bright and visually appealing while preventing direct visibility into private spaces.
The Results: A Sleek, Functional Privacy Solution
Following installation, Tesla’s team experienced an immediate improvement in meeting room confidentiality while maintaining the clean, high-tech aesthetic of their headquarters. The seamless integration of the 3M Dusted Crystal film added a polished, professional look to their glass partitions, providing a perfect balance of privacy and design.
Our team worked efficiently to complete the project on schedule and with minimal disruption to Tesla’s operations. By using precision installation techniques, we ensured flawless application with no bubbling, peeling, or distortion. Now, Tesla’s Austin headquarters enjoys enhanced privacy, improved workspace functionality, and a stylish, high-end finish—all thanks to the superior performance of 3M commercial privacy film.
