UV Protection
You might think being indoors keeps you safe from the danger of ultraviolet rays. Unfortunately, while windows filter out some rays, they don’t offer complete protection. So when you’re sitting next to a sunny window in the afternoon, ultraviolet rays can still hit your skin. 3M™ Window Films are made to block up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays, protecting occupants against skin damage, premature aging, and skin cancers.
Fade Resistance
Window film works to prevent the leading causes of fading: ultraviolet radiation, visible light, and solar heat. Although UV rays are the main culprit causing furniture, flooring, artwork, rugs, and other valuables to fade, heat and visible light are also significant contributors. Window film reflects heat, reduces visible light transmission, and blocks nearly all ultraviolet rays to keep your interior looking new for longer.
Maintains Visibility
There’s a reason glass is a predominant architectural feature in homes and buildings. It lets in lots of beautiful natural light and allows views of the outside world. One significant benefit of using window film is that it enables you to maintain visibility, unlike blinds, shades, or curtains.
Energy & Cost Savings
One of the main benefits of installing window film is energy savings. By improving energy efficiency, window film also leads to cost savings. It reduces the strain on heating and cooling systems, reducing utility bills and saving energy. In addition, window film offers a quick return on investment through the cost savings it provides.
Improved Comfort
Window film reflects heat to reduce uncomfortable hot spots and keep the cool air inside where it belongs. Insulating window film also works during the colder months to retain heat, ensuring homes and buildings stay warm. All year long, you can improve comfort through window tinting. Not to mention, window film reduces glare to improve comfort, reduce eyestrain, and prevent headaches.
Enhanced Safety & Security
You may not be able to tell by looking at them, but certain window films are designed to enhance safety and security. As shattered glass poses a safety risk, safety and security film holds glass together in the event of a potential break-in, burglary, or natural disaster. By adhering the glass shards together, window film can improve building security or home security to keep occupants safe and allow extra time for evacuation in an emergency.
