Looking for that perfect Father’s Day gift idea? This year, celebrate this Father’s Day by giving him the gift of protection, comfort and peace of mind with 3M™ Window Film for his home or vehicle.
Industry-defining films such as 3M™ Sun Control Window Film, Prestige Series for his home or 3M™ Automotive Window Film, Crystalline Series for his vehicle, are constructed using hundreds of layers of thin film, specifically placed to deflect the sun’s harmful effects – including heat, glare, UV rays and more. Here’s a look at how 3M Window Films, manufactured by a leading household recognized brand, can improve Dad’s comfort and safety while he is at home or on the road, and why a gift certificate is a perfect idea.
Father’s Day Gift Idea: 3M™ Window for His Home
Consider a gift certificate for 3M™ Home Window Tinting to improve Dad’s comfort, protection and privacy while he is at home.
Imagine Dad settling into his favorite recliner on a sunny afternoon to watch the big game, only to be blinded by glare bouncing off his TV screen. Or picture him meticulously changing the thermostat because the hot sun is causing his home to heat up like a greenhouse. 3M™ Sun Control Window Film, Prestige Series is the perfect long-lasting solution to combat these issues so that Dad can enjoy every room in the house to the fullest.
Unlike other films, 3M™ Prestige Series is tested during peak sun intensity, when windows face the most significant heat load. 3M™ Prestige Series rejects up to 97% of infrared heat and up to 60% of total solar energy while reducing glare. According to the Department of Energy, solar heat that enters through windows results in 25–30% of cooling energy usage. 3M Window Film helps stop that from happening, preventing hot temperature pockets from forming near windows. This also means less maintenance on a home’s HVAC unit because it will not be working as hard to keep the interior of Dad’s home cool.
Beyond efficient cooling, 3M™ Prestige Series films block harmful UV rays – which can add a layer of protection for Dad’s skin. Both UVA and UVB rays pass through unprotected windows and can penetrate deep into the skin, contributing to premature aging and increasing the risk of skin cancer. However, when professionally installed, 3M™ Prestige Series blocks up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays. Giving Dad the best defense against the invisible threats of the sun. In fact, the Skin Cancer Foundation states that installing UV-filtering window films is the primary way to reduce skin cancer risk in frequently used spaces, such as homes and vehicles.
UV rays don’t just pose a threat to health but to property, as well. Over time, the sun’s ultraviolet rays can increase the rate of fading of flooring, furniture, artwork and décor. According to the University of Central Florida’s Florida Solar Energy Center, UV radiation accounts for 40% of the fading process in fabrics and furnishings. Slow the fading process with UV window film protection.
Father’s Day Gift Idea: 3M™ Window Film Perfect for His Ride
A gift certificate for 3M™ Automotive Window Tinting will improve Dad’s comfort, protection and privacy while he is enjoying the open road.
3M™ Automotive Window Film Crystalline Series is guaranteed an improved driving experience. The Crystalline Series uses 200 film layers to precisely deflect up to 99% of harmful UV and heat-producing infrared rays. By targeting infrared rays, 3M™ Crystalline window films can keep cabins cooler.
In fact, 3M™ conducted a study evaluating the interior temperatures of parked cars with and without 3M™ Crystalline Series window film. After sitting in the sun all day, sedans with the window film were up to 47 degrees cooler than those without.
3M™ Automotive Crystalline Series also substantially boosts safety and privacy. These films protect privacy by limiting visibility from the outside to prevent onlookers. Darker shades like CR20 or CR40 are available for maximum privacy
In addition to added privacy, glare reduction is another benefit. 3M Auto Tint can reduce glare by 20% to 77%, with darker tints resulting in higher performances. Glare is considered a hazard when it impairs visibility, especially when driving into direct sunshine. Glare has even been recorded to cause over 9,000 traffic accidents in the U.S. annually. But 3M Auto Tint can help keep Dad comfortable and able to see while driving.
