Outsmart the Sun with Superior Protection. 3M Window Films tame heat, help reduce fading, and save energy.

Get comfortable with saving energy.
An estimated 28% of cooling expenses are due to solar heat gain from windows
Windows provide an abundance of beautiful natural light. They can also create problems such as cool or drafty areas, excessive heat from the sun and distracting glare — issues that can impact tenant comfort, occupancy rates, energy bills and profits. Choose clear films with reflectivity lower than glass for superior sun control and beautiful views inside and out.

Keep your family and tenants comfortable
Reduce indoor temperatures by as much as 9 Degrees in direct sunlight.
Nothing hurts tenant retention like an uncomfortable home of building. Throughout it all, your HVAC system is working overtime. Is your home or building hot in the summer and cold in the winter? When the sun makes one side too hot, is the other side too cold? 3M Window Films reject up to 79% of the sun’s heat to help keep rooms at more even, moderate temperatures. In fact, our films can reduce the temperature in direct sunlight by as much as 9°F (5°C), making your space more comfortable and usable.

Warm in the winter.
Thinsulate invisible insulation technology helps retain the heat and keep you warmer in the winter.

Cool in the summer.
Thinsulate invisible insulation solar reflecting technology helps block the sun’s heat and keep you cooler in the summer.
Reduce cold spots.
Did you know that your window can lose as much as 20X more heat in the winter than the same area in an adjacent wall? 3M Low Emissivity Window Films help improve the insulation value of a typical single-pane window close to that of a double pane, and a double pane close to that of a triple pane.
Eliminate glaring problems.
Few things are as frustrating as viewing monitors in a sunlit room. 3M Window Films significantly reduce glare so tenants can get work done without added eyestrain or discomfort. Need to merchandise? Our films even keep displays looking beautiful and true to life.
