3M™ Sun Control Window Film

Here at Columbia, Sun Control Films are among the most popular we install in government or other public buildings like schools and hospitals throughout NYC and the Tri-state area. That’s because they are not only worker-friendly in providing comfort evenly around a room, but they reduce glare as well, making desk workers more productive. What’s more, providing an abundance of natural light in government buildings, such as libraries, is a great way to conserve energy during hours of operation. You just keep the lights off! But sunlight can have its downside, and can create excessive heat and uncomfortable hot spots. Without proper filtration, harmful UV rays can enter the space as well. Whether these buildings are high-rise like the United Nations or low-rise like a local post office, 3M™ Sun Control Window Films help control energy costs and provide students, visitors and employees with a more a more comfortable place to go about their business.

Columbia Filters Installs Three Different 3M™ Sun Control Window Film Products

Prestige Series Sun Control Uses Nano-Technology
Clearly superior, the Prestige Series window films use non-metalized nano-technology to create reflectivity that’s actually lower than glass. Views out of windows remain true to life because the only thing they’ll see day or night, inside or out, is the window itself. These spectrally-selective films reject up to 97% of the sun’s heat-producing infrared light and 99.9% of UV rays to keep people cool, comfortable and protected.

Ceramic Series Sun Control for Clarity and UV Blocking 
Moderately tinted, this advanced ceramics composition allows these films to maintain their color and appearance over their lifetime, providing additional glare reduction with minimal change in appearance. The Ceramic Series provides amazing window clarity while rejecting up to 80% of the sun’s heat-producing infrared light while blocking 99% of UV rays, all with a low reflectivity.

Night Vision Series 
Low interior reflectivity is the hallmark of our Night Vision Series. That means daytime privacy of sensitive material inbound from outsiders while allowing easier viewing through your windows to the outside at night Night Vision film allows up to 35% of the visible light through your windows helping to block the sun’s damaging UV rays and control heat and glare. Medium to dark versions of this film also provide privacy so a individuals won’t be able to see into these protected spaces, including compouter screens at night.
