3M™ Sun Control Window Film Prestige Exterior Series for Commercial
Exterior window film is one of the most efficient ways to increase energy efficiency, reduce solar heat gain, and enhance comfort in commercial buildings without installing new windows.
The 3M Prestige Exterior Series is an advanced exterior window film specially designed for exterior applications where interior installations are impossible or impractical. Exterior window film can help reduce glare, block UV rays, reduce HVAC stress, and preserve the natural look of your building’s glass.
