3M™ Prestige Series Window Film
High performance. Nearly invisible.
Solar control doesn’t need to mean dark glass, heavy reflectivity, or a major change to the building’s appearance.
3M™ Prestige Series Window Films are designed to reduce solar heat and UV exposure while maintaining high visible light transmission and a clean, natural view through the glass.
For offices, retail, residential towers, institutions, and premium commercial spaces, Prestige is a strong fit where comfort and appearance matter equally.
Comfort without compromise.
Large areas of glass can create excessive heat, glare, fading, and uneven temperatures throughout a building.
3M Prestige helps improve interior comfort by rejecting a significant portion of the sun’s infrared energy while allowing natural daylight to remain a key part of the space.

Heat Reduction
Helps reduce solar heat gain through existing glazing and improve interior comfort.
High Visible Light Transmission
Maintains a bright, open appearance without making the glass look heavily tinted.
Low Reflectivity
Designed for projects where a subtle, non-mirrored appearance is preferred.
UV Protection
Helps block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, reducing one of the major contributors to fading.
Glare Reduction
Selected films can reduce excessive brightness and improve visual comfort at workstations and occupied spaces.
Energy Performance
Reducing solar heat gain can help lower cooling demand and improve overall building efficiency.
Choose the right level of performance.
Different buildings need different solutions.
Prestige 70
A very light, highly transparent film for projects where maintaining the clearest possible appearance is the priority.
Best suited for:
Premium offices · retail · high-end residential · architectural glazing
Prestige 60
Slightly more solar performance while maintaining a light and natural appearance.
Best suited for:
Commercial offices · south- and west-facing glazing · general solar control
Prestige 50
A balanced option where increased solar performance and moderate glare reduction are both important.
Best suited for:
High-exposure façades · offices · boardrooms · public spaces

Other 3M™ Solar Control Window Films
Not every project requires a premium ultra-clear film.
Smartfilms also installs a range of 3M solar control films designed for projects requiring greater glare reduction, privacy, stronger heat rejection, or different exterior aesthetics.
Depending on the building, glazing type, exposure, and performance requirements, we can recommend options from:
3M™ Traditional Solar Control Films
Cost-effective solar heat and glare reduction for commercial glazing.
3M™ Neutral Series
A more neutral appearance with balanced heat rejection and daylight control.
3M™ Exterior Window Films
For glazing conditions where an exterior-applied solution is technically preferred.
3M™ Scotchshield™ Ultra Prestige Series
Combines solar control with additional safety and security performance.
The right film starts with the glass.
Glass + Exposure + Performance + Appearance
Solar film selection should be based on more than simply choosing a tint.
