Why Choose 3M Window Tinting for Your Gainesville Home or Business?

Reduce heat entering your home or office.

3M™ Window Film is constructed using hundreds of layers of thin film, each layer designed to deflect the sun’s heat-producing infrared rays. This means less heat inside your home or office in Gainesville, FL from the sun.

Lower energy bills & extend the life of your AC.

3M window tint is designed to prevent temperature pockets from forming around your windows. So, in the winter you don’t feel the cold air standing near your window and, in the summer, you don’t feel the heat near your window. Because of the more even temperatures, your home HVAC unit does not have to work as hard – thus lowering high energy costs.

Prevent glare and live in comfort.

Window tint reduces glare coming from your windows, preventing eye strain and ensuring you can see the TV screens, computer monitors or even your mobile phone easier. The darker the tint, the more glare reduction. However, even the Prestige film’s clear tint provides 22% glare reduction.

Slow the fading of your furniture and flooring.

While nothing can completely stop fading from occurring over time, 3M household window tint will block 99.9% of UV Rays, the leading cause of fading. This will dramatically slow the fading process so that you can enjoy your furniture, flooring and personal items in your home or office in Gainesville, FL for years.

Keep your home or office safe.

3M’s safety tint is often incorporated into your home or office security system. The tint adds a layer of protection over the most vulnerable entry point of your property - the glass.

The Science Behind 3M™ Sun Control 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.

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 homeowners comfortable and protected. At IES Window Films, we have installed 3M™ Window Film in the Gainesville-Ocala area 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.

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.

We Make Purchasing Easy for Government Agencies

In addition to working with a variety of commercial clients, we also are experienced with working for government agencies. IES Window Films, also known as International Energy Savers, has a GSA Contract to assist government agencies looking to add window tinting to their facilities or on their vehicles.
