3M Prestige Series films are high-tech, non-metallic window films using nano-technology for superior sun control, rejecting up to 97% of infrared heat and 99.9% of UV rays while allowing natural light in, reducing glare, and preventing fading, with versions offering added safety/security (Ultra Prestige) for homes and commercial buildings. Key Features & BenefitsSuperior Heat Rejection: Uses multi-layer optical film to block significant infrared (IR) heat, keeping interiors cooler.UV Protection: Blocks up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays, protecting furnishings from fading.High Visible Light Transmission (VLT): Allows substantial natural light in (40-70%), maintaining views.Non-Metallized: No metal means no signal interference (phones, GPS) and no corrosion, leading to longer life and easier installation.Low Reflectivity: Offers low interior and exterior reflection, preserving the building’s appearance.Energy Savings: Reduces cooling costs by lessening the load on air conditioning.Safety & Security: The Ultra Prestige series combines solar control with tear resistance for break-in deterrence and shatter protection. ApplicationsResidential: Homes needing heat/UV protection without dark tints.Commercial: Offices, hotels, restaurants for tenant comfort and energy efficiency.Exterior & Interior: Available for both applications, with exterior options often for sloped glass. How it WorksThese films are made with many nano-layers that are spectrally selective, meaning they selectively block certain wavelengths (like IR) while letting visible light pass through, all without using metal. In Summary3M Prestige films offer a premium, clear solution for sun control, providing significant comfort and energy savings with added features like safety and long-term durability, backed by 3M’s warranty.
