Outsmart the Sun with 3M™’s Prestige Series Window Film

Solar Film • May 22, 2018

The Prestige Series of 3M™window films combines the benefits of several other 3M™window tint varieties, including temperature control , UV protection, and glare reduction. There is also a version of the 3M™Scotchshield™Safety & Security window films in the Prestige series.

Benefits of 3M’s Prestige Series Window Film

Combining the characteristics of several product lines in a single window film gives you the best of both worlds. Here’s what the Prestige Series brings to your home or commercial space:

  • Up to 97% infrared light rejection to keep your space cool and reduce your energy bills.
  • 66% heat reduction of interior spaces to improve occupant comfort.
  • Allows natural light into your home or business to minimize the need for lighting fixtures.
  • Low interior reflectivity to enhance the view from your window.
  • Low exterior reflectivity to maintain the attractive aesthetic of your home or business. Prestige Series window films are nearly invisible.
  • The Scotchshield™ Safety & Security variety of the Prestige Series also fortifies windows for improved impact resistance.
Why 3M’s Prestige Series is Special

3M evaluates their Prestige Series window films using the Total Solar Energy Rejected – On Angle test. The industry standard only tests the solar energy rejection of window films at a 90 degree angle, or perpendicular to the glass. However, 3M recognizes that the sun’s rays only strike a window’s surface perfectly perpendicular for a very small percentage of the day. To ensure that occupants reap the claimed benefits of sun control window film from sun up to sun down, 3M tests their products at acute and obtuse angles, in addition to the traditional perpendicular test. And sure enough, 3M’s Prestige Series Window film actually increases in performance at lower sun angles, which is when peak cooling loads are present. So when it gets  hotter , Prestige works  harder !

Where You Can Purchase 3M’s Prestige Series Window Film

Now that you know the host of benefits that 3M™’s Prestige Series window film offers and what makes it so special, you’re most likely wondering where you can get your hands on this revolutionary product. Before you go running to just any window film dealer, you must do a bit of research.

First, confirm that the window tinting service is a 3M™Authorized Dealer. This should be displayed on their website. Secondly, check to see if they are a member of the Prestige Dealer Network. Only Authorized Prestige Dealers are licensed to distribute and install Prestige Series Window Film. This means that they underwent additional vetting to ensure the quality of their window tinting service. Lucky for you, if you live in the greater Richmond area, Williamsburg, or the Northern Neck, Solar Film proudly serves these regions as an Authorized Prestige Dealer.
