Glare Control, Inc.

3M is one of the leading providers of films and adhesives, and has combined the two together to create one-of-a-kind solutions to multiple problems. Everyone from homeowners to corporate executives will appreciate both the elegance and added protection that only 3M can provide.

3M films are first and foremost a protective measure against light, heat and heat loss. Not only does the film cut out glare from the sun, but it also blocks up to 99 percent of harmful ultraviolet rays from getting through. It also repels up to 79 percent of heat from the sun while simultaneously blocking up to 35 percent of heat transfer from a room to the outdoors. 3M films even prevent water from passing through, effectively minimizing environmental damage to the connections between the glass and the window sills. All this is included in an eye-pleasingly uniform package that adds beauty and grace to windows.

3M films help:

• Cut down on disruptive glare from the sun
• Block out up to 99% of ultraviolet light
• Block out up to 79% of the sun’s heat
• Keep up to 35% of heat inside a room
• Lower cooling and heating costs
• Protect furniture, drapes, electronics and other items from UV fade
• Prevent glass from forming harmful shards when it is broken

Another added safety feature of 3M Safety and Security Films is that they prevent glass shards from forming when it is broken. During a catastrophic failure wherein the glass breaks, the film will hold the glass together long enough to form chunks instead of shards. This minimizes injuries from accidents, earthquakes, storms, tornadoes, smash-and-grab incidents, shootouts and even terrorist bombings.
