A new range of window film for commercial customers has been launched by 3M with the production of the Prestige multi-layer optical film.
Multiple layers are engineered so the effect of the combined layers can be tuned to be spectrally selective. This means visible light is let through and the heat rejected, particularly infra red, with up to 97% of these rays not let through the glass. Window films also block up to 99.9% of the sun's harmful uv rays, which are the largest cause of fading.
The new Prestige films have no metal in the construction and consequently have no risk of edge corrosion.
