Strengthen the weakest point of your building.

Glass provides visibility, daylight and openness—but it can also be one of the most vulnerable parts of a building envelope.

3M™ Scotchshield™ Safety & Security Window Films are engineered to help hold broken glass together after impact, reducing hazards from flying glass while adding another layer of protection to existing glazing. Selected systems can also help delay forced entry when used with the appropriate 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment system. 3M

Protection without changing the architecture.

3M™ Scotchshield™ Ultra Series

High-performance protection. Remarkably clear.

3M™ Scotchshield™ Safety & Security Window Film Ultra Series uses a micro-layered, tear-resistant construction designed to provide enhanced impact performance while maintaining excellent optical clarity. 3M Canada

More than broken-glass protection.

FORCED ENTRY DELAY
When properly combined with 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment (IPA) Sealant, Scotchshield systems can make it more difficult to penetrate glazing and help delay an intruder—providing additional response time.

GLASS FRAGMENT RETENTION
If glass breaks, the film helps hold fragments together, reducing hazards associated with flying or falling glass.

IMPACT + DISASTER PROTECTION
3M identifies applications including impact events, seismic activity, windstorms, explosions and spontaneous glass breakage, depending on the specified film and attachment system.

UV PROTECTION
Selected Scotchshield films block up to 99% of UV rays, helping reduce one of the major contributors to fading of interior furnishings and finishes.

The attachment matters.

Film + Glass + Frame = System
For higher-security applications, applying film to the glass is only part of the solution.

3M™ Impact Protection Attachment (IPA) Sealant is engineered to anchor the filmed glass to the window or door frame, improving the overall performance of the glazing system.

This is particularly important when designing systems for forced-entry, windstorm and explosion-mitigation applications. 3M

Security + Solar Control

Protection doesn't have to mean sacrificing comfort.

3M™ Scotchshield™ Ultra Prestige Series combines the tear-resistant characteristics of Scotchshield Ultra with the solar-control technology of 3M™ Prestige Series Window Film—providing security, UV protection and solar heat control while maintaining a highly transparent appearance. 3M

This would be a strong crossover point between your new security + and solar + webpages.

Designed. Specified. Installed.

Every building is different.

Smartfilms can evaluate the existing glazing, frame construction and project requirements to help determine the appropriate 3M film and attachment system for the application.

Window films are not bulletproof and are not designed to stop intruders. Performance depends on the complete glazing system, installation method and application. Product selection should follow current 3M technical documentation.
