Window Film Blocks Heat, Not Views

Categories: energy

The Prestige line of 3M window films is transparent rather than dark or shiny, thanks to a manufacturing method that doesn’t use metal. Although the window film consists of polyester materials and contains hundreds of layers, it is less than the thickness of a Post-it Note. The protection against ultraviolet light is so great that the film would be classified as having an SPF factor of 1,000, said Missy Hulette of Solar-Tex, a Columbus dealer for the 3M line.
