Product Description, Applications
3M™ offers a large selection of window films to meet a variety of requirements. 3M window films reject heat and block nearly all of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, and many are recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as effective UV protectants. 3M window films resist peeling, bubbling, scratching and abrasion and are backed by warranties that are among the most comprehensive available.

3M’s premium Prestige Window Films are specifically designed to increase indoor comfort, lower energy costs and reduce the harmful effects of the sun’s rays on interior furnishings in both commercial and residential applications. With 4 film styles from which to choose, Prestige films were tested using the Total Solar Energy Rejected - On Angle test and were proven to perform their best at the hottest part of the day when the sun is high. They reject up to 97% of the sun’s infrared light and block 99.9% of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. This helps to keep buildings and homes cool, reduces energy demands and prevents premature refinishing or replacement of carpet, hardwood floors, furniture, art and window coverings due to sun and UV damage.

Prestige Window Films have low reflectivity, with 2 styles being less reflective than the glass they cover. Because they are manufactured without metals, these films are not susceptible to corrosion in coastal environments and do not interfere with mobile phone reception.

Construction, Materials, Finishes
Prestige Window Films have a nominal thickness of 2 mil and are composed of optically clear polyester. They contain at least 220 layers and have an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive on one side and an acrylic abrasion resistant coating on the other. The film incorporates infrared absorbing carbon and is uniform without noticeable pinholes, streaks, thin spots, scratches, banding or other optical defects. The variation in total transmission across the width at any portion along the length does not exceed 2% over the average.
