3M Prestige Window Films

Made for people that don't want to see dark window film on their windows

One of the drawbacks of traditional metal window films is that they tend to act like mirrors.  From the inside, traditional window films make it difficult to see outside at night.  In the daytime, the outside reflection tends to give a home the look of a commercial building.  Metal films will also block your cell phone signals from the inside of your home.  Created in the Nano-technology  laboratories of 3M, these window films contain no metal. Nano-technology works with materials that are over a thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair.  This  allows 3M to create a patented window film that is optically clear, doesn't corrode, and does not interfere with mobile phone  and radio signals.  With 3M Prestige Window Films, your homes exterior stays beautiful and from the interior, your view is as clear as your original windows. No one else in this industry can produce this multi-layer optical film.

For most people, there are two primary reasons for installing window films: rejecting heat and protection from damaging UV rays.  3M Prestige Window Films do both remarkably well.  To measure just how impressive these films are, 3M created a more stringent specification: Total Solar Energy Rejected-On Angle.  This specification proves that our films are unsurpassed throughout the day, during the hottest times when you need the help most.  While some films claim similar performance, the fact is that their performance is similar when tested perpendicular to the sun which only can happen at the relatively cool times of sunrise and sunset.  3M spectrally-selective films reject 97% of the suns infrared light.
