Sun Control

Beat the Heat with 3M Prestige Sun Control Window Films.

While the sun is essential for life and provides the perfect escape for a beach vacation, its effects on your home or office can be less than desirable. Unwanted glare, fading furnishings, and skyrocketing air-conditioning costs are just a few of the challenges that come with the sun's powerful rays.

​

Since 1966, 3M Sun Control Window Films have been solving these issues, but recent innovations have taken sun protection to the next level. For the first time, 3M Prestige Sun Control Window Films are virtually invisible, while blocking up to 97% of infrared heat—the heat you can actually feel. Made with cutting-edge nano-technology, these films improve your comfort, reduce cooling costs, and help preserve your furnishings, all without significantly altering the appearance of your windows.

Energy Savings for the Long Term

With rising energy costs worldwide, energy conservation is once again a priority—much like it was in the 1970s. The installation of 3M Sun Control Window Films can offer significant energy savings, with studies showing that for many large office buildings, the cost of installation is often recouped in less than three years.

Tailored Solutions with 3M

To help building owners and facility managers make informed decisions, 3M has partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy to create a software tool that calculates energy savings based on specific building variables. For even more precision, 3M's Data Loggers can track temperature changes at regular intervals, showing exactly how much cooler your building becomes after the film is installed.
