5 Reasons to Install 3M Window Tint on Your Home This Year

Posted January 11, 2022

It’s a new year and a reason to celebrate a new you! As you contemplate your New Year Resolutions, why not make home improvements a priority this year? Here are five reasons to consider installing 3M™ Window Tint on your home.

Reason No. 1: Lower Heat, Reduce High Energy Costs with Window Tint

The Sunshine State’s temperatures can get brutal during the summer months. And while we enjoy the air conditioning in our homes – especially on hotter days – we typically see an energy use spike and higher electric bills due to the added constraint put on our HVAC units.

3M™ Window Tint is designed to help block the heat, which can prevent heat pockets from forming near the windows inside your home. The film’s technology consists of multiple layers of film, which reflect away the heat-producing infrared light. In fact, 3M™ Sun Control Window Film, Prestige Series offers up to 97 percent of infrared rejection providing energy savings and enhanced comfort.

According to the Department of Energy, “heat gain and heat lost through windows are responsible for 25 to 30 percent of residential heating and cooling use.” Consider 3M™ Sun Control Window Tinting to help better control the temperature in your home and lower your energy bill – especially during the summer.

Reason No. 2: Reduce Glare with Window Tint

3M™ Window Tint can dramatically decrease the glare coming into your home, relieving eye strain for you and your family.

The technology behind the film’s construction redirects and reflects some of the unwanted light waves away. This can dramatically reduce glare through your windows. 3M™ Sun Control Window Film, Prestige Series offers up to 76% glare reduction.

So enjoy your screens – from your mobile phone and tablet to your computer monitor or television – more comfortably and without concern after installing 3M™ Sun Control Window Film.

Reason No. 3: Help Stop Fading Flooring, Furniture using Window Tint

If you are concerned about fading furniture and flooring from the sun’s harsh rays, worry less with 3M™ Window Tint. 3M’s scientifically proven films are proven to reject 99.9 percent of UV rays – the leading cause of fading.

While no solution can prevent fading completely, 3M™ Window Tinting can dramatically slow the process. In fact, many art galleries and businesses have been known to install the film as an added layer of protection. For example, Wayne Newton used 3M™ Window Film to help protect his private museum which includes antique cars, costumes and memorabilia on his ranch in Las Vegas.

3M™ Window Tint also can protect your skin. In fact, window film is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation because of the strong protection that it offers.

You can rest easy while enjoying the view and your curtain and drapes wide open. Your skin, furniture and floors will be protected with 3M™ Sun Control Window Film.

Reason No. 4: Protect People and Property with 3M Window Tint

If you are concerned about home security in addition to blocking the unwanted affects of the sun, 3M offers a solution that addresses both concerns.

3M™ Safety & Security Window Film, Ultra Prestige Series contains all of the sun control properties to help block heat, glare and UV rays while adding a layer of security to your windows. The film offers a strong, micro-layered, tear-resistant technology designed to hold broken glass shards together after impact. In fact, the film has proven to delay unwanted entry by up to two full minutes – additional time for emergency responders to arrive.

Windows can be a home’s most vulnerable points of entry. Adding 3M™ Safety & Security Film offers homeowners a chance to rest easy knowing they are further protected.

Reason No. 5: 3M™ Window Tint is Backed by a Strong Warranty

When 3M window tint is installed by a 3M™ Authorized Dealer, like NBI Suncontrol, the film is backed by one of the industry’s leading warranties.
