Plan to add 3M office window tinting to your facility or building this coming year to reduce energy costs and improve comfort for your employees and/or tenants.
The end of the year offers an opportunity for business owners and operations managers to plan for the future. When identifying operational improvements and efficiencies, consider adding 3M Window Film’s office window tinting to lower high energy costs associated with cooling your facility, decrease furniture and flooring replacement costs over time, and add a layer of protection against theft and associated damages.
Office Window Tinting is Proven to Lower Heat, Reduce High Energy Costs
3M’s premier office window tinting is designed to dramatically decrease the heat inside a building associated with the sun’s infrared rays coming through windows, thus lowering energy costs associated with keeping interior temperatures cool.
An estimated 33% of cooling expenses are due to the solar heat gain through your facilities’ windows. 3M™ Sun Control Window Film, Prestige Series is designed to reject between 64% to 67% of the total solar energy from coming in through your glass doors and windows. This results in up to 54% of a reduction in total solar heat.
The office window film’s multi-layer construction is the reason for its ability to reject infrared rays. Each layer of film is specifically placed to deflect the sun’s unwanted effects away from the glass. This results in less temperature pockets next to windows and helps your facilities’ HVAC system keep rooms at a cooler, more even temperature. Simply put, HVAC systems don’t have to work so hard.
Because of the energy savings, 3M™ Window Film has a fast pay back – in as little as 3 years! Facility managers and business owners can save $1 to $2 per square foot of film installed, or as much as 19 kWh per square foot of glass.
Save on Furniture and Flooring Replacement Costs with Office Window Tinting
One of the leading culprits of fading furniture and flooring is the sun’s UV rays, and office window tinting is designed to significantly block these harmful rays from coming into your facility.
According to the University of Central Florida’s The Florida Solar Energy Center, fading furniture and flooring has two primary causes. The first is related to chemicals, in which the coloring agents of the material can change over time due to reactions from a variety of sources, including humidity, temperature, radiation and more. The other is related to UV rays.
All of 3M™ Window Film is designed to block 99.9% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. While nothing can truly slow fading from happening, window film dramatically slows the process. For property managers and business owners, this means needing to replace flooring and furniture less often. This can be a significant cost saving long term.
Protect Your Business and Add Privacy with Office Window Tinting
3M’s premier office window tinting can also protect your business from unwanted break-ins and associated costs from that type of loss.
Mitigate potential loss from break-ins by installing 3M™ Scotchshield™ Safety & Security Film, Ultra Prestige Series. This office window film offers the sun control properties you’d expect from 3M and also provides a layer of protection. The film, when combined with 3M™ Impact Adhesive Attachment System, works against break-ins, explosions and spontaneous glass breakage. After impact, the film holds broken glass shards together, preventing them from flying and damaging property and people. The film has proven to delay unwanted entry by up to two full minutes – providing additional time for emergency officials to arrive.
In Tampa, the film prevented looters from entering into a jewelry store in 2020. When the looters were unable to quickly enter due to the safety film, they took off. Not a single piece of jewelry or other merchandise was stolen.
