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.
