Impressive Energy Savings

One of the most compelling reasons to install our window films is the energy savings. 3M Window Films can reduce energy usage by up to 19 kWh per square foot of windows . Moreover, it’s estimated that an incredible 33% of cooling expenses in buildings are due to solar heat gain from windows . By mitigating this heat gain, our window films not only enhance comfort but also reduce your energy bills significantly, potentially saving as much as 10-20% annually on total energy costs .

Benefits Beyond Heat Control

The advantages of 3M Sun Control Window Films stretch beyond temperature control:

  • Glare Reduction: They significantly reduce glare, which can help in reducing eyestrain and increasing comfort when viewing screens or working in brightly lit conditions.
  • UV Protection: These films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, safeguarding your skin and preventing the fading of furnishings, curtains, artworks, and other interior items .
  • Enhanced Privacy and Aesthetics: Window films provide increased privacy without sacrificing natural light, adding an elegant touch to your exterior while maintaining visibility from the inside.
  • Increased Safety: In the event of glass breakage due to accidents or natural events, the film helps hold shattered glass together, thus reducing the risk of injury .
