3M™ Prestige & UltraPrestige Window Films

 

3M introduces the new Prestige Series, a unique collection of window films with superior heat rejection, no-metal technology, low reflectivity, and a warranty backed by one of the world's most respected companies. Prestige window films mark a departure from traditional window films because they are transparent and not dark or shiny, thus they do not change the interior or exterior appearance of your home or building. Other clear window films on the market are constructed using metal, which has a tendency to corrode in coastal environments as well as the potential to interfere with cell-phones and other wireless devices.

 

Ultra protection with ultra performance

Protecting people and property with 3M safety and security window films.

Sometimes the threat is from nature, other times people. No matter where the threat comes from, 3M Safety and Security Window Films can help you to be prepared for worst.

 

Our thin film gives you a wider margin of safety.

The strength of a film is not only dependent on its thickness. By using layer after layer of micro-thin polyester films, our film outperforms all other films of similar thickness. This superior performance is due to the remarkable flexibility of our film. So while other films tear, ours merely stretches and, depending upon the application system, can help keep the window in the frame even when the glass breaks. And ours is the only 4-mil film that passes the 400 foot-pound impact level of ANSI Z97.1 Standard.*

Another advantage of our film is that it is bonded to the glass with advanced 3M activities. So when the glass breaks, the shards are held together by the film to reduce the chance of injury. And our UltraFlex Window Film System adds an advance structural silicone adhesive that aggressively bonds the glass and film to the window frame.

 

Tested and retested.

Our films have been subjected to windstorms, bomb blasts, all kinds of flying objects and a rigorous series of durability tests. We have gone to extreme measures to make sure our films meet or exceed industry standards for impact and tear resistance.**

* Met requirements for ANSI Z97.1 Standards with modifications for higher impact levels

** GSA explosive blast standards for glazing.

 

 

 

Protection for your business

 

Bomb blasts.

As unpleasant as it might be to consider, the threat of bomb blasts in this world is very real. Like natural disasters, a bomb blast also turns unprotected glass into dangerous flying shards. 3M Safety and Security Window Films have proven in real-world situations to have seriously mitigated the damage from bomb blasts and helped protect lives. And our UltraFlex Window Films System adds an advance structural silicone adhersive that aggressively bonds the glass and film to the window frame.

 

Street crime.

3M Safety and Security Window Films also help you deter street crime. Because the window film helps hold the glass in place, criminals don’t have the quick access they need to successfully smash and grab merchandise. Often the window slows them down to such a degree that they may choose to move on to an easier target.

 

 

Severe weather and hurricanes.

When natural disaster like hurricanes, tornados, high winds and earthquakes hit, there is little you can do to protect your building. But by planning ahead, your building can be prepared for the worst. Glass can be your worst enemy in severe weather and storms. When unprotected glass breaks, shards can be sent flying causing severe injury to people and major damage to property.

During a disaster, 3M Safety and Security Window Films help hold the glass to gather to maintain the integrity of your home. This also helps to keep flying glass from harming inhabitants and, in many circumstances, keeps out wind and rain.

 

Protection from the sun.

Damage from the sun.

Over time, the powerful UV rays of the sun can do enormous damage to merchandise, upholstery, carpet, wallpaper, window treatments and wood. You can always pull the blinds, but what is the use of having windows if you can’t enjoy the view? 3M Window Films are designed to reduce the effects of solar heat and visible light on your furnishing and will block up to 99% of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, which are the single largest cause of fading. While no film can stop fading completely, our films dramatically slow the progress of fading.

Discomfort from the sun.

Sun control problems can also make keeping a home or building comfortable a difficult job. 3M Window Films help to eliminate hot spots in your home where windows contribute greatly to the temperature of the room. And window film can help keep your air conditioner from working overtime. The 3M prestige Series has the added feature of blocking up to 63% of the heat of the sun and reducing the glare. The result is greater comfort, less eye fatigue and lower energy bills.
