Enhancing safety, energy savings and the beauty of your buildings with 3M window films.

For as beautiful as windows are, they also come with their share of problems: higher energy costs, discomfort, safety & security issues and fading, just to name a few. 3M is the one name you can trust to lessen and even eliminate the problems windows can cause for your business.

We’ve all experienced it. When the morning or afternoon sunlight creeps into a room, the thermostat shoots up, and the air conditioning starts working overtime to cool the room. As if this wasn’t bad enough, the other side of the building ends up freezing. There is a solution; 3M Window Films reject up to 79% of the sun’s heat so your rooms stay at a more even and moderate temperature.

Causes of fading

UV Protection— The sun’s ultraviolet rays are a major contributor to fading. Carpeting, paneling, desks, drapes and upholstered furniture represent a sizable investment that can quickly lose value when damaged by prolonged exposure to the sun. 3M window film filters out up 99% of the harmful UV rays, fading is considerably reduced and furnishings are better protected.

Improved HVAC Efficiency— The use of more environmentally safe refrigerants for commercial chillers will cause a cooling dilemma. Chiller conversions will experience a loss in cooling capacity, and an efficiency drop that could reach 15%.

Because the 3M window film cuts heat gain from 19% to 76%, the chillers capacity loss can be offset. An application of 3M window film may allow the building owner to maintain the level of cooling comfort for tenants without adding expensive cooling capacity or increasing annual energy costs from additional chiller run time.

 Improved Aesthetics— Viewed from the outside, 3M window film disguises the clutter and disarray of half-drawn drapes and blinds, non-uniform furniture placement and uneven lighting. And provides an economical way to make your building more attractive and more valuable. A complete selection of films that vary in color, density and heat rejection qualities, offers you building the ideal balance of aesthetic and performance characteristics.

 Safety— 3M’s proprietary adhesive technology to bond tightly to the glass. This helps hold shattered glass in place and helps reduce the dangers associated with breakage. In the event of severe weather, earthquakes, explosions, fires or vandalism, this can significantly reduce injuries due to flying glass.
