3M’s top of the range line of solar film products, the 3M Prestige Series is a spectrally selective window film that offers unparalleled heat rejection because it rejects both the direct heat energy from the sun (up to 65%) as well as a massive 97% of infra-red or radiated heat. Infra-red heat is the heat you FEEL, rather than see. This is the heat you feel even when shaded from the sun, or the heat that remains after the sun sets, as it radiates out from adjacent heated surfaces.
This high performance window film will maintain crystal clear clarity of your glass and comes in five visible light transmissions (VLT) to meet your specific needs. Higher VLT options of PR50, PR60 and PR70 will maintain desirable, natural light levels in your home, while lower VLT options of PR20 and PR40 will offer increased privacy or glare reduction. All Prestige films will outperform any competitor product – ask us for a free demonstration during your free measure and quote.
Further, there is also an Exterior Prestige range, ideal for low-E glass (where films are not able to be installed internally as it nullifies the low-e coating benefits), or in double glazed windows, to prevent the heat from reaching the internal space in the double glazed unit, and thus further into your home. The Exterior Prestige range is extremely popular in commercial buildings in Europe and the USA due to its incredible heat rejection, its suitability for double glazing and ability to be applied with minimal disturbance to the buildings’ inhabitants. It is now growing in popularity in Australia, as more people are looking to use low-e glass or double glazing in both homes and commercial buildings to meet energy efficiency goals.
These new technology films are the first clear, high VLT and non-metal based window films to significantly reduce heat and UV rays (blocking 99.9%) entering a home or building. 3M Australia is backing the new 3M Prestige window films with an unlimited lifetime Residential Warranty and an unmatched 15-year Commercial Warranty (for internal applications).
Because traditional window films contain metal, they are susceptible to corrosion in coastal environments and may interfere with mobile phone reception. Unlike traditional films, 3M Prestige films, being metal-free, are the first window film to offer a variety of selections that eliminate these problems and perform to the industry’s highest standards. The 3M Prestige Series marks a significant technological advancement in how window films can enhance buildings and homes. Residential and Commercial property owners can now have a high performance light to medium tinted window film that combines all the benefits of heavily tinted or reflective films without the inherent drawbacks of darkened rooms or mirrored windows. Some of this range actually have less internal reflectivity than uncoated glass!
Over time, UV rays, solar heat and visible light can irreversibly fade fabric and upholstery on window treatments, sofas, chairs, carpets and other valuable items inside a home such as precious artwork and natural timber floors. 3M Prestige window films are designed to reduce the effects of solar heat and visible light on furnishings and will block up to 99.9% of the sun’s harmful UV rays, which are the single largest contributor to fading. While no film can stop fading completely, these films dramatically slow the progress of fading to keep your investments looking beautiful.
