3M
Films : Scotchtint™
The more windows there are in
your building, the greater the
benefits of installing 3M
Scotchtint™ window film.
That is because Scotchtint™
does much more than simply control
heat gain or loss. It also improves
the safety, security, energy
efficiency, and appearance of
your building - all at a fraction
of the cost of installing special
glass.
Save energy every day of the
year. Keep heat from getting
in and you will not have to
pay to pump it out. Unlike drapes
and blinds, Scotchtint™
film rejects up to 79% of the
heat that would otherwise come
through the window. That can
translate into a savings of
about one ton of air conditioning
for every 100 square feet of
glass exposed to sunlight. And
with the transition to more
environmentally safe chlorofluorocarbon
refrigerants to power air-conditioning
units, you will be able to offset
the diminished chilling capacity
by keeping heat out.
In addition to keeping solar
heat out during the summer months,
3M Scotchtint™
Plus All Season Film keeps you
warmer in the winter months
by reflecting manmade heat back
into the building. This can
reduce heat loss by up to 30%
to save you money and improve
occupant comfort. In addition,
an energy-efficient building
puts less strain on your heating
and cooling system to reduce
maintenance and extend the life
of the equipment.
Scotchtint™ films block
out 98% - 99% of UV light, thus
protecting you from the sun's
harmful rays and significantly
reducing fabric and furniture
fade. In addition, Scotchtint™
films reduce glare to improve
your indoor visibility, especially
with respect to computer monitors
and televisions.
Scotchtint™ window films
provide enhanced window security
by helping to hold glass fragments
in place should an explosion
occur nearby. In addition, window
films also help deter smash
and grab crimes by making access
through a window more difficult
to an intruder. For increased
security, 3M
manufactures Scotchshield™
window films, products specifically
designed to hold flying glass
in place should an explosion
or terrorist attack occur nearby.
Some Scotchshield™
films also provide the energy
benefits associated with Scotchtint™.
Scotchtint™ films are maintenance-free,
vary in reflectivity (from low
reflectivity to high reflectivity),
and range in color (from neutral
to silver). 3M
offers a window film to suit
your various energy needs.
