Beat the Heat, 3M Prestige window films

Dreading that next electrical bill? Air conditioning running way too much? Did you know according to the U.S. Department of Energy that 30 percent of all energy used to heat and cool homes goes out the window? That’s your hard earned money going out the window! 3M Window Films can reduce up to 78 percent of the sun’s heat. That can save you up to 40 percent on cooling costs. Most think its only for cooling but window films also work in the winter and can reduce heating costs up to 30 percent. That’s a lot of savings and they are year round.

3M Prestige series films are a multilayer optical film and use nanotechnology to achieve what other films simply can’t. This spectrally selective film rejects up to 97 percent of the sun’s heat-producing infrared light and 99.9 percent of the UV rays. These rays also can damage your skin and add to premature aging. The Skin Cancer foundation actually recommends window films as a preventive measure against skin cancer. It’s like wearing 1,000 SPF but on your windows.

Most films that reject high heat tend to have high reflectivity and are dark in nature or even both. Not with Prestige Series films. These films are optically clear and can offer reflectivity that in some cases is lower than glass itself. That means the same visual clarity, inside and outside. Let in the light not the heat! 

What really sets the 3M Prestige series apart is how it works when you need it to. Light waves are controlled with precision as they pass through or reflect off hundreds of layers of film. Compared to other films, the Prestige Series Films increase their performance at a faster rate as the sun’s angle increases. That means greater protection and comfort when you need it the most. When the sun is working the hardest so is 3M’s Prestige Series.
