Window Film Products
No one has more experience in making sun control films than 3M. We hold the original window film patent, and offer over 30 years of proven performance in all climates and conditions. 3M™ Scotchtint™ Window Film is the one building improvement that makes a noticeable difference both inside and out. Scotchtint film rejects up to 79 percent of the heat that would otherwise come through the windows, translating into a savings of about one ton of through air conditioning for every 100 square feet of glass exposed to sunlight. The sun's ultraviolet rays are a major contributor to fading. Scotchtint film filters out 98 percent of the harmful UV rays, reducing fading and helping to protect your investment in furnishings, such as carpeting, paneling, desks, drapes and upholstered furniture. Choose from a complete selection of films that vary in color, density and heat rejection qualities. Scotchtint film provides an economical way to make your building more attractive and valuable.
3M™ Scotchshield™ Ultra Safety and Security Film is a tough, new dimension in window film technology for property and personal protection against crime, violent weather and accidents. 3M's unique technology combines multiple, micro-thin layers of film to create a stronger, more impenetrable safety and security window film for unmatched levels of performance. Scotchshield window film is a tough, durable, tear- and penetration-resistant shield that bonds to the inside of your windows. The film helps hold the glass together to dramatically reduce the chance of glass shards from falling or flying out.
