3M Building Window Films: Solar Protection & Energy Savings
3M: The World’s First Pioneer in Window Film Innovation
For over five decades, we have continuously developed and advanced 3M window films. Millions of square feet of 3M window films are installed globally, trusted for the 3M brand and its reliable product quality.
3M Building Window Films
3M building window films are made of clear polyester, allowing an undistorted view without compromising visibility for those inside. The film is coated with materials that block heat and ultraviolet rays, protecting building occupants from thermal radiation and safeguarding interior furnishings against premature fading. The adhesive quality, unique to 3M, is transparent, durable, and thin, facilitating easy installation and ensuring long-lasting endurance.
Natural light can help reduce electrical lighting needs within a building, yet it often brings unwanted heat, causing temperature increases indoors. This rise in temperature can fade furnishings, create glare, and strain the eyes of occupants. Additionally, UV rays pose further risks. Whether for high-rise or low-rise buildings, installing window films can reduce heat, save energy, and enhance comfort for those inside.
Benefits of Installing 3M Building Window Films
1. Reduces Heat and Glare
3M window films effectively reduce incoming heat through advanced heat-reduction coatings, including aluminum, nickel, copper, or other alloy compounds with high heat resistance. They can reduce total heat by up to 77%, as measured by ASTM E-903 and ASHRAE standards. Additionally, they reduce indoor glare by 49%-97%, minimizing disruptive reflections and improving comfort for activities like computer work.
2. Protects Occupants from UV Rays
3M window films block over 99% of ultraviolet rays, helping protect occupants from skin cancer.
3. Preserves Interior Decor and Furnishings
By blocking more than 99% of UV rays, 3M window films protect furnishings from fading and cracking due to prolonged sun exposure.
4. Secures Shattered Glass
With high-strength adhesive properties, the films can hold shattered glass together, preventing injuries. The addition of 3M safety films further enhances this protection.
5. Energy Efficiency
3M window films enhance air conditioning efficiency by reducing the system’s workload, even under high external temperatures, leading to lower electricity costs and reduced air conditioning maintenance expenses.
6. 3M – A Name You Can Trust
Quality is easily claimed, but responsibility for a genuine guarantee is rare. With 3M, however, you can trust in dependable quality for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. 3M window films are guaranteed for up to 7 years against deterioration, peeling, bubbling, and blistering, ensuring peace of mind.
