The Future is Clear

Clear window film, that is. You may think of window film as window “tinting” because film manufacturers have historically used dark pigments and mirror finishes to reflect the sun’s ultraviolet rays and heat.

Unfortunately, conventional tinted windows tend to behave like mirrors: It is difficult to see outside, especially at night with the inside lights turned on. And light reflected from the exterior window surfaces can give a home the cold appearance of a commercial building.

Over the 41 years since 3M patented the first window film, several companies have attempted to produce a clear film. These attempts generally failed because the films relied upon tiny metal particles to reflect light and heat. Two of the biggest drawbacks: Window films with microscopic metal particles tend to disrupt wireless phone reception and also suffer from premature corrosion in coastal environments.

Now, though, thanks to 3M advances in the science of nanotechnology, clear is here.

3M’s new Prestige clear window films are an amazing breakthrough. These films use no metals yet reject up to 97 percent of the sun’s energy. Because 3M Prestige film’s reflectivity is almost identical to clear glass, you’ll have clear views outside. Even at night. And your home’s exterior will retain its natural beauty.

The days of conventional tinted windows are numbered. Call us toll-free at 800-871-1002 and ask us about clear 3M Prestige Window Films.

Three Good Reasons to Call Engineered Sun

3M is the world’s leading manufacturer of window films for safety, security, energy savings and protection of interior surfaces and materials. And Engineered Sun installs more window film than any other 3M Window Film dealer in North America. Our volume creates three important benefits for you:

• We invest in knowledge. Today’s advanced window films often have unique installation requirements. We invest heavily in continuing education and employ factory trained installation technicians whose only job is installing high technology window films.
• Our financial strength protects you. Window film installation is not a regulated field, so your film installer may not carry adequate insurance. Any problems that arise can actually result in you paying twice if the film installer you choose is uninsured or underinsured. Engineered Sun is fully insured for even the largest commercial projects: We have the resources to deal with unexpected problems.
• We will be there when you need us. Most window film installation companies are small. The owner typically sells and personally installs the film. As a practical matter, you may experience installation delays; especially during periods of extreme weather. We have a large operations department focused exclusively upon getting your job installed, and a customer service team to handle any warranty claims.

Our company name literally means “applying technology to control the sun.” Today’s advanced window films do so much more than simply “control the sun,” but our original focus on understanding and applying technology continues to deliver maximum value and peace of mind for our customers.
