Glare Reduction Window Films
3M Prestige Series can help in the following areas:
Performance in these areas varies depending on which of the series you choose.
Overview: 3M Prestige Clear Series
Most traditional window films that reject heat are metallised and highly reflective with mirror like finish.
Although they perform well, these films can have compromises such as darker interiors, changing the appearance of your glazing or can restrict visibility from outside to in.
But not any more…
The 3M Prestige window film series is a non-metallic solar control range perfect for residential applications where a clear, natural, non-reflective appearance is desired.
The range provides the best balance between maximum light transmission and heat rejection. Featuring multi-layered, nanotechnology to reduce heat, they allow plenty of light in whilst maintaing a more comfortable environment.
Their performance accelerates as the sun’s angle increases, which means the need for greater protection and comfort is met as required – rejecting up to 97% of the sun’s infrared light, up to 60% of the heat coming through your windows and helping to reduce fading by blocking up to 99.9% of damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Prestige90 clear is ideal for listed buildings where the appearance cannot be altered. Prestige70 is perfect for areas wanting to maximise heat reduction with natural light while the darker shades can be chosen for their additional benefits of glare reduction and one-way daytime privacy.

We believe you should have the most accurate figures for your glazing, which is why our performance figures for this window film are based on double glazed windows.
To make performance look better, some in our industry only ever quote performance on single glazed windows.

Dual Reflective Series can help in the following areas:
Performance in these areas varies depending on which of the series you choose.
Overview: Dual Reflective Series
Dual Reflective window films offer the high levels of solar heat rejection associated with traditional metallised films but with a lower internal reflectivity maintaining a more natural view day and night.
The range also provides excellent levels of glare protection and fade reduction making it an ideal choice for conservatories with darker shades on the roof and lighter shades on the vertical panes.
The lighter shades are also a great choice for bi-fold doors while darker shades can be used to create one-way vision daytime privacy.
