3M Building Window Films: Solar Protection & Energy Savings
3M – The World’s Leading Innovator in Window Film Technology
For over five decades, we have continuously developed 3M window films. Millions of square feet of various film models have been installed worldwide, trusted for the 3M brand and the reliability of our product quality.
3M Building Window Films
3M building window films are made from transparent polyester material that allows clear visibility without image distortion and preserves the interior view. The films are coated with heat and UV protection, safeguarding occupants from heat radiation while also protecting interior furnishings from premature fading. Additionally, 3M’s proprietary adhesive, which is clear, strong, and thin, ensures an easy installation process and high durability.
Allowing a large amount of natural light into your building can help reduce the need for artificial lighting. However, this light also brings heat, increasing the building’s internal temperature. This can lead to the fading of furniture, and at times, glare and reflections may disrupt the vision of those inside. Additionally, there is the impact of UV radiation (ultraviolet rays). Whether it’s a high-rise or low-rise building, installing window films can not only reduce heat and save energy but also create a more comfortable and pleasant environment for occupants.
Benefits of Installing 3M Building Window Films
1. Heat and Glare Reduction 3M building window films effectively reduce the amount of heat entering buildings and residences through the application of heat-reducing coatings on the film, such as aluminum, nickel, copper, or other alloy metals. These materials have high heat-reduction properties and can decrease total solar energy by up to 77%, as measured according to ASTM E-903 standards and calculated by ASHRAE standards. Additionally, they can reduce glare inside buildings and homes by 49% to 97%, minimizing the impact of reflections that disrupt vision. This also improves convenience when working in front of a computer.
2. Protection from UV (Ultraviolet) Rays 3M building window films block more than 99% of ultraviolet rays, helping to protect building occupants from harmful UV exposure, reducing the risk of skin cancer.
3. Preservation of Interior Furnishings By blocking more than 99% of ultraviolet rays, 3M window films help protect interior decor and furniture from fading or becoming brittle due to prolonged sun exposure.
4. Prevents Glass Shattering The strong adhesive properties of 3M window films provide excellent bonding between the film and the glass, helping to hold shattered glass together and prevent injury to occupants. Additionally, when combined with 3M safety films, this protection is further enhanced.
5. Energy Savings 3M window films help save energy and enhance the efficiency of air conditioning systems, preventing them from overworking even when outside temperatures are high. This reduces electricity costs and lowers maintenance expenses for air conditioning systems in buildings.
6. 3M – A Name That Guarantees Quality
Many may claim to offer quality, but who truly stands behind their promises with a genuine warranty? With the 3M name, you can trust in the reliability. Whether it’s for residential homes, office buildings, or factories, you can be confident in the quality of 3M window films. They won’t deteriorate, peel, bubble, or blister, and they come with a 10-year warranty.
