The Science Behind 3M™ Window Films

What is window film?

A window film, sometimes referred to as a tint, is a thin laminate film that can be installed on the interior or exterior of glass.

What makes 3M films different?

Many traditional window films that reject heat are tinted dark, use metal and can be highly reflective. 3M™ Prestige Series and Ultra Prestige Series films use non-metalized, multi-layer optical films that are constructed to achieve a combination of advantages – including lowering heat, reducing glare and blocking harmful UV rays. Because of their non-metallic structure, our films don’t impact window aesthetics, aren’t susceptible to corrosion and don’t interfere with electronic device signals.

How does 3M™ Sun Control Window Film work?

As mentioned, 3M’s film is constructed using several layers. What sets 3M’s Prestige Series films apart is the precision with which light waves are controlled as they pass through or reflect off each of the layers. Most other window films are tested when the sun is perpendicular to the window. But 3M™ Prestige Series films are tested and perform best when the sun is high, at the hottest part of the day.

How does 3M™ Safety & Security Film work?

3M™ Safety & Security Films are built to be strong and nearly tear resistant. After impact, the film works by firmly holding together shattered glass fragments, preventing the glass shards from flying and hurting people or damaging property. The film’s performance increases when it is paired with an Impact Protection Adhesive, which firmly attaches the film to the edge of the glass frame.

3M™ Window Films, Ultra Prestige Series is a film that not only offers a security shield but also provides solar control film protection.

Why are 3M Window Films so much better?

3M earned the world’s first patent for sun control window film in 1966. Today, there are millions of square feet of 3M™ Window Film installed around the globe. Combining technology in imaginative ways, 3M’s scientists continue to develop revolutionary solutions to keep travelers in airports more comfortable and protected. At IES Window Films, we have installed 3M™ Window Film since our company first started in 1985, and we have witnessed first-hand the difference 3M film can make as it relates to sun control and security.
