Temperature Control

Windows provide many benefits to enhance our quality of life. They let natural light through, give us a view of the outside world, or even open so you can feel the breeze. Windows allow us to watch our kids play in the backyard, take a break from the computer screen at work, or stalk the Amazon delivery driver. But most windows don’t do the best job at keeping heat out. In fact, windows are a significant culprit of energy loss for residential and commercial buildings.

One way to combat the hot summer sun and heat is with 3M Sun Contol Window Film. Applying window film is more cost-effective than buying new windows and quicker to install. While you can try to apply solar film yourself to keep costs down, the process is a bit more complicated than it looks. It’s easy to mess up if it’s not applied properly, resulting in wasted time and material. If you’re worried about a perfect application, our team of window tinting experts here at WAO Garage would love to help with your next project.

Solar window films by 3M can be beneficial for both homes and businesses looking for an affordable way to improve energy efficiency. But the benefits don’t stop there.

3M Solar Window Film Benefits

Solar window film blocks UV rays, reflects heat, and helps with temperature control. However, those aren’t the only benefits. Despite the name, there are more reasons to install solar window film than you may think.

Reflects Heat & UV Rays

Of course, one of the main benefits of solar film is that it reflects heat. Products like 3M Sun Control Window Film can reject up to 60% of the heat that comes through windows. The film also blocks 99.9% of harmful UV rays and up to 97% of infrared light.

Reduces Glare

Solar window film also improves comfort by reducing glare. Glare is caused by bright sunlight and can make reading, watching TV, or browsing the web on a computer difficult. Sun blocking window film controls excessive light to reduce glare.

Controls Temperature

Although it seems like a simple enough task, maintaining a consistent indoor temperature isn’t always easy. If you’ve ever lived in a house with older windows, you probably know it can be hard to warm up in the winter or cool down in the summer. Window insulation film, such as 3M Thinsulate Insulating Window Film, helps keep indoor temperatures comfortable all year long.

Prevents Fading

Have you ever left something out in the sun and noticed it faded in color? The fading is caused by UV rays, which can travel through unprotected windows. UV rays not only damage property, but they are also harmful to our health by causing skin cancer. Solar window film blocks nearly all UV rays to prevent fading of furniture, flooring, upholstery, artwork, and more.

Saves Energy & Money

By helping regulate interior temperatures and reflecting heat, solar film will help you save energy and money. You’ll spend less on heating and cooling costs when you reduce your energy consumption, and you’ll extend the life of your HVAC system by reducing wear and tear.
