Because traditional window films use metal, they are susceptible to corrosion in coastal environments and may interfere with mobile phone reception. Because these films have no metals, they are the first films to offer a variety of selections that eliminate these problems and perform to the industry's highest standards.
One of the major drawbacks of traditional window films is that they tend to act like mirrors. 3M's premium line offers two style of window films that actually have less interior reflectivity than the glass they cover. The other styles have interior reflectivity that is just 1% greater than glass. Your windows will only reflect your commitment to keeping your home looking beautiful.
- Our spectrally-selective films reject up to 97% of the sun's infrared light to keep your home cool and lower your energy bills.
- 3M™ Window Films will also block up to 99.9% of the sun's harmful UV rays, which are the single largest cause of fading.

Potential savings values are approximate and provided for general reference purposes only. Regional temperatures‚ energy costs‚ and emissions based on national averages published by the US Department of Energy and the US Environmental Protection Agency. Actual energy savings will vary depending on the HVAC system‚ average indoor/outdoor temperature‚ length of cooling season‚ geography‚ actual energy costs‚ and other factors. Data shown represents center of glass values in accordance to NFRC 100/200‚ and is measured on NFRC required glass types‚ actual performance will vary with specific glass type. Emission savings estimates are based on average CO2 emissions from electric power generation per region in the United States as determined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as of July 2000. These savings estimates account for emission reductions resulting from potential decreased electricity usage for home cooling only; they do not account for CO2 emissions that may result from manufacturing processes.
No one has more experience with window film than 3M. In 1966, we received the first patent for window film. Today there are millions of square feet of 3M Window Films installed around the world. With our new Prestige Series, we have once again demonstrated why we are the industry leader.
