As a hotel manager, your guests’ experience can be significantly improved when solar control window film is installed on the glass doors and windows of your property.
Just as the tourism season in Florida arrives, now is the time for hotels to make improvements to increase the overall comfort for their guests. Here’s a look at how 3M™ Window Film solutions can help.
Lower Heat in Your Hotel with Solar Control Window Film
When your guests walk into their hotel room for the first time, they want to feel comfortable in a cool environment, and 3M’s solar control window film can help provide this experience while using less energy to keep temperatures even.
Prestige Series is scientifically proven to lower heat and prevent temperature pockets from forming next to windows. The film is constructed using hundreds of layers of very thin film, each layer specifically placed to deflect the sun’s heat-producing infrared rays and harmful UV rays away from your hotel’s glass. This means that the heat is less likely to penetrate the interior of your hotel rooms through the large windows – which results in a cooler environment and less energy use from the air conditioner to keep the temperature down.
Improve the View for Your Guests with Solar Control Window Film
With solar control window film manufactured by 3M, your guests can also enjoy the view from their hotel room windows.
Your guests won’t feel compelled to close the heavy drapes to block the sun’s heat. Instead, they can enjoy the natural light and the stunning views your hotel may offer. In fact, 3M Window Tint, Prestige Series films are also proven to reduce glare, which means your guests will experience less eye strain from the sun, as well.
Have stunning views of the city skyline? Do those views look good at night? 3M™ Sun Control Window Film, Night Vision allows your guests to enjoy the night view from their hotel room even more without the burden of a reflection – ideal for those areas in your hotel where you want people to enjoy the nighttime view.
Lower High Energy Costs and Other Operational Expenses with Solar Control Window Film
Because 3M’s state-of-the-art solar control window film can lower heat and block UV rays, the films can result in several operational cost savings.
An estimated 33% of cooling expenses are due to the solar heat gain through your property’s 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. Simply put, your HVAC system will not have to work so hard – which means less energy consumption.
Because of the energy savings, 3M™ Window Film has a fast pay back – in as little as 3 years! Hotel owners can save $1 to $2 per square foot of film installed, or as much as 19 kWh per square foot of glass.
In addition to lower energy costs, hotel owners will experience less replacement costs over time with the installation of solar control window film. 3M window tint is designed to block 99.9% of the sun’s harmful UV rays, a leading cause of fading furniture and flooring. While nothing can truly slow fading from happening, UV window film dramatically slows the process. For hotel owners, this means needing to replace flooring and furniture less often.
Add Privacy & Security Where it Matters Most
3M offers a state-of-the-art security film for windows and several privacy glass film options to enhance areas of a hotel’s security and block the view.
3M™ Scotchshield™ Safey & Security Window Film is designed to keep out intruders. The safety film for windows is designed to prevent shattered glass from breaking apart after impact – stopping flying shards from harming people and property. Tested against bomb blasts, explosions, high winds and break-and-entering, the film can withstand repeated impact for up to two full minutes before breaking apart – giving emergency officials added time to arrive. The films are available as both a clear option with UV protection and a Prestige Series with sun control protection.
3M also offers a variety of privacy glass film options to block the view. 3M™ Fasara™ Glass Finishes offer a variety of patterns, textures, frosted designs and more. Whether you are looking for mirror window film, blackout window film, one way window film or frosted window film, we offer several decorative privacy film options to solve your privacy concerns.
Give your Interior a More Modern Look
If you are looking to update the interior décor of your hotel property, 3M film solutions offers a product that can transform any space.
3M™ DINOC™ Architectural Finishes cover existing surfaces, like doors, tables, desks, walls and more. These high-end finishes offer a cost-effective, sustainable option to transform any space.
More than 400 doors were repaired and refurbished using 3M™ DINOC Architectural Finishes at the Sheraton Amsterdam Airport Hotel & Conference Center. The hotel saved money on refurbishing existing doors rather than full replacement. There also was less waste and quick install – the entire project took just 10 days with no impact to guests as the work was being done.
