3m Window Tinting

3M is the company that invented window film back in 1966 (currently holds the original patent) and continues to differentiate its products from those offered by its competitors. Today there are millions of square feet of 3M window films installed throughout the world.

3M is the leading company in film technologies, creating the finest products available for residential, government, commercial and automotive use. The 3M window films protect the interior from fading, reducing up to 99% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, holds shattered glass together and greatly lowers your energy bills. That's because the film doesn't allow the solar heat from the outside to enter trough the window, rejecting as much as 79%. On the inside, 3M window films provide glare reduction for you and others.

3M is the only company in the world to manufacture its films on its own, from start to finish, no other films are involved in the making including the production of polyesters, adhesives, and protective coatings. What's even more, 3M is the only window film company to manufacture its own adhesives, in fact it's a world leader in those technologies. 3M adhesives provide a unique combination of fast drying, optical clarity, long-lasting bond and simple removal.

3M has reached the highest possible quality rating of manufacture: ISO 9002:1994. 3M window tinting films don't require any maintenance and you can even clean them with ammonia-based products. The 3M company gives the most comprehensive warranty in the window tinting industry that covers material and labor (removal and reapplication) and protects against: blistering, bubbling, cracking, crazing, peeling, glass breakage, purpling, seal failure.

One of the latest products produced by the company are the new Prestige Series, which represent 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 are completely different than standard because they are transparent and not dark or shiny, thus they do not change the interior or exterior appearance of your home or building. Another advantages is that since they don't contain metal, they will last longer (metals corrodes over the years) and won't interfere with cell-phones and other wireless devices.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of window tinting is the improved security. Statistics show that 70% of all burglaries occur after breaking a window and entering the property or vehicle. Sometimes nature strikes and the effects of tornados or hurricanes can be devastating, shattering the windows to little glass pieces that may hurt the occupants. 3M Safety and Security Films have been blast tested by various private and government agencies from Australia to England. As a result of this extensive tests in this area, the risk of injuries due to flying glass is greatly reduced with the 3M Security window films. Also, the film holds the broken pieces together, making it harder for the intruder to enter. To prove their products, windows treated with 3M films have been subjected to different close range explosive charges - TNT, pipe bombs, "Molotov cocktails" and even more. All tests have shown the ability of 3M films to retain the shattered glass together.
