When should I use a gradient privacy film in an office?

Direct Answer (TL;DR)

Use a gradient film when you need to balance an open, inviting atmosphere with seated privacy. It's ideal for glass-fronted conference rooms or perimeter offices where you want to maintain outward views and natural light at eye level while obscuring the lower portion of the glass for occupant privacy and reduced distraction.
