  • Reject up to 79% of the sun’s heat with 3M™ Sun Control Window Films.

    Is your building hot in the summer and cold in the winter? Nothing hurts tenant retention like an uncomfortable building.

    You can keep your tenants more comfortable by rejecting the sun's heat to help keep spaces at more even, moderate temperatures with 3M™ Sun Control Window Film. Application of 3M™ Sun Control Window Film is much, much less expensive than replacing all that glass, and the results rival or match the performance and appearance of new glass.

    Installing a low emissivity, or “Low E,” window film can help improve the insulation value of a typical single-pane window close to that of a double-pane window, and of a double-pane close to that of a triple-pane.
