Windows are an architectural necessity for any building. A scenic view is the want and desire of every building owner, property manager, and office worker. Yet windows present concrete problems, especially with respect to the sun. High air-conditioning costs, furniture fade, glare, and tenant discomfort caused by excessive heat, are just some of these problems.
3M window film, first introduced by 3M Company in 1966, addresses these issues by reducing a combination of the sun’s visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared heat.
