Windows are typically the most inefficient part of a home or building, allowing in the sun's heat during the summer and allowing manmade heat to escape in the winter. 3M Window Films can reduce those inefficiencies to create a more comfortable and economic environment. In fact, 3M's Thinsulate Climate Control 75 Window Film is like adding an extra pane of glass to your window. Windows are not only inefficient, they are usually the most vulnerable part of your home or building. 3M Scotchshield Safety & Security Window Films can address the vulnerabilities of a window by helping to hold broken glass in place.

As an architect, making building retrofits more energy efficient may be part of your responsibility. Too often the inefficiencies of a building's envelope are overlooked. Windows tend to be a building's Achilles heel, creating inefficiencies that are tolerated because of an occupant's desire for natural light. 3M manufactures window films that reduce a window's energy inefficiency without changing a building's appearance. Turn single pane glass into double pane, or double pane into triple pane, all at a fraction of the cost of window replacement.

3M Company offers a number of solutions designed to refresh and preserve the look of interior spaces, finishes, and furnishings. Enhance the aesthetic of any space quickly, affordably, and with minimal disruption when you choose 3M products for your next interior design project.

UV light, visible light, and infrared heat from the sun can fade colors quickly and ruin the look that you designed.

3M Insulating Window Films decrease the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) and U Value of your window. In simpler terms, 3M's window films will increase the energy efficiency of your windows. It's almost like turning a single pane window into double pane, or a double pane window into triple pane. For instance, take a standard double pane window found in most 20-30 year-old homes. They are not necessarily as energy efficient as they should be. Installing 3M's Thinsulate Climate Control Window Film lowers the SHGC and U Value of your existing windows and virtually turns them into triple pane glass - all at a fraction of the price of window replacement.

Windows are usually the most energy inefficient part of a building envelope, allowing in unwanted heat gain and loss. Those temperature imbalances create unhappy tenants and building occupants. We compensate for these imbalances by running HVAC systems, often 24/7, which run up monthly utility bills. 3M Insulating Window Films create a more comfortable and cost-effective environment, all without changing the appearance of your building. Windows are not only inefficient, they are vulnerable. They are vulnerable because glass is easily broken; and broken glass creates danger.
