What are window films?

  • Arrows demonstrate how window films let in the warmth of the sun without creating hot spots.

     

  • Window films are a type of window treatment applied to windows and glass surfaces, engineered to reduce the amount of solar heat transmitted through the glass and certain window films combined with 3M™ IPA can help increase safety and security.

    Heat Transmission

    The films help increase solar reflectivity, reject solar heat and reduce incoming ultraviolet light, resulting in a wide range of benefits:
     

    • Improved comfort
    • Improved energy savings
    • Increased privacy
    • Increased fade protection
    • Reduced glare

    While window films can be used with blinds, shades, curtains or other window treatments, the advantage they offer is solar control without an obstructed view. Unlike curtains or blinds that need to be closed to be effective, window films are engineered to allow light in, help reduce heat and glare, and maintain your view, all at the same time.

    Safety & Security

    These easy-to-apply 3M™ Safety & Security Window Films combined with 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment (IPA) Sealant help hold broken glass together and can help prevent flying glass shards in the following applications:
     

    • Spontaneous Glass Breakage
    • Break and Entry Incidents
    • Seismic Events
    • Intentional and Accidental Explosions
    • Windstorms

    In addition, the films can delay intruders in break and entry incidents due to the tear resistant properties.
