Looking to do something unique with your building? 3M Daylight Redirecting Film can be applied to any design of your choosing. Apply a fritted, striped, or even diamond pattern and design with daylight in mind! Reducing the amount of solar radiation entering a building allows you to keep the temperature of your office or home under control. This saves energy through reduced air conditioning costs, increases comfort by keeping glare under control, and protects interior furnishings from sun damage.

3M™ Daylight Redirecting Film is a simple, effective daylighting solution which comfortably brings natural light deeper into buildings. Buildings with abundant natural light have been shown to:

1. Increase employee productivity
2. Boost retail sales
3. Improve student test scores
4. Decrease rates of absenteeism
5. Improve patient recovery times
6. Reduce energy costs

3M™ Daylight Redirecting Film sends direct sunlight up towards the ceiling, bouncing natural light deeper into a building. As well as dispersing extra light in a more uniform way throughout a room it also reduces glare, increasing comfort for people within the space. In addition, the energy used to light rooms is reduced making it an energy-efficient choice. 3M™ Daylight Redirecting Film is designed to move excess light close to the window and redirect it deeper into the building to increase the daylighting penetration. Bringing natural light deeper into the building helps provide the many benefits of natural light for more occupants as well as helping reduce the need for artificial lighting which can save energy.

In addition, 3M Daylight Redirecting Film:

• Reduces glare and discomfort caused by direct sunlight on occupants
• Redirects natural light as much as 40 ft. or more into the building
• Extends daylight zone up to 8 ft. into the interior for every 1 ft. of treated window
• Can provide up to 52% lighting energy savings compared to baseline usage
• Can provide savings of up to 1.5 kW/sq.ft. of floor area
• Simple, effective, daylighting solution.

Compared to existing light-reflecting strategies, 3M Daylight Redirecting Film is easily integrated into new or existing windows. It requires no extra hardware or infrastructure, and little to no additional maintenance or special cleaning. It works at all times of the day, even when the sun is at a low angle. Plus, it’s more cost-effective than many existing daylighting solutions.
