    Take a Peek into the Science You Can’t see

    Window films can block the heat and UV rays, or even keep the AC in. Here’s a peek into how.

      Great technology can come in invisible packages.

      Once applied, 3M™ Sun Control Window Films become virtually invisible. The science in the window films is nanotechnology which can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays using non-metallized, micro-layer optical films. The other science is spectrally selective films which also reject both kinds of solar heat—up to 60% of heat from visible light and 97% of infrared.

      What does all that mean? It means brighter furniture for longer and less cost to run the air conditioning. So go ahead and pull back the curtains…if you have window films on them.

      Window films are a science you can’t see, but their benefits are apparent.
