Heat Rejection Benefits |
|
3M Prestige Series |
Non-metallized, multi-layer optical nano-technology |
The ultimate in heat rejection, blocking up to 97% of the sun’s infrared light and up to 60% of total heat coming through windows. It provides maximum performance while remaining virtually clear. |
|
3M Ceramic Architectural Series |
Nano-ceramic particles |
Rejects up to 80% of the sun’s heat-producing infrared lightand is a more budget-friendly option than Prestige while still delivering excellent heat rejection and UV protection. |
|
3M Night Vision Series |
Metallized film (interior reflective) |
Helps reject a significant portion of solar heat while also reducing interior reflectivity at night to preserve clear nighttime views. |
|
3M All Season (Low-E) Film |
Low-E (low emissivity) coating |
Provides year-round performance by reducing heat gain in summer and helping retain warmth in winter, acting as insulation to lower both heating and cooling costs. |
Key Thermal Benefits for Commercial Properties
- Improved Comfort: These films help maintain more even, moderate temperatures across your office space, eliminating uncomfortable hot spots near windows and keeping employees and customers comfortable.
- Significant Energy Savings: By rejecting solar heat, the films reduce the strain on HVAC systems and can lower air conditioning costs, with potential paybacks on the investment in as little as three years.
- UV Protection: All 3M films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, which helps prevent fading and damage to interior furnishings, flooring, and merchandise.
- Preserved Views: Non-metallized options like the Prestige and Ceramic series offer high optical clarity and exceptional heat rejection without a mirrored look or interference with cell phone/GPS signals.
These guides compare the thermal rejection performance, technology, and cost-effectiveness of 3M’s Prestige and Ceramic window film series for commercial properties.
To help you decide which film is the best fit for your specific building’s needs and windows, I can look at a side-by-side comparison of the projected energy savings for your office space using different 3M film lines. Should we start there?
