Good for the environment, well-being and safety: 3M™ window films not only regulate the light and heat transmission of windows, they also help reduce costs and risk of injury.

×Windows are integral to modern architectural design, yet while infusing our buildings with plenty of light, they can also create problems. These include heat gain and loss, excessive and annoying glare, hot and cold spots, not to mention faded furniture.
3M™ Sun Control Window Films represent a reliable antidote to these problems – a quite simple design addition that can reduce energy costs, enhance interior comfort, and even upgrade glass to building standards. Good for the environment, for wellbeing and safety.
From private homes to vast commercial buildings, 3M films preserve and protect both windows as well as interior space

×Adhesive pioneer 3M invented the window film technology more than 50 years ago and has been constantly improving it ever since. The company issued the first patent in the domain of solar protection in 1966 and now millions of square metres of 3M™ Sun Control Window Films have been installed across the world, in all kinds of places and climates.
Weather conditions across the world can vary dramatically, but with its advanced nanotechnology, the 3M™ Sun Control Window Film Prestige Series reaches the optimum balance of light transmission and heat rejection. Designed for commercial, public and residential buildings, the film rejects up to 97 per cent of infrared, 60 per cent of heat, and 99.9 per cent of UV.

×As well as environmental savings, 3M™ Window Films offer useful cost savings and safety benefits. When 30 per cent of a building’s annual budget is typically spent on energy, saving 190 kWh per sqm of glass makes financial sense.
The films’ combined functions result in benefits including energy savings and improved safety
There are a lot of things you can’t control — the weather, accidents and earthquakes to name a few, yet you can be prepared for the unexpected with 3M™ Safety & Security Window Films. They reduce the risk of flying glass when broken and so protect both people and equipment, and help guard against property loss, thus reducing business disruption.
Another clear benefit of 3M™ Window Films for architects and other specifiers is that they are essentially invisible, meaning that glass remains the same in its aesthetic appearance, yet function greatly improves.
