How to Read Window Film Specs
- VLT (Visible Light Transmittance) — percentage of daylight that passes through. Higher = more natural light.
- TSER (Total Solar Energy Rejected) — percentage of the sun's total energy blocked. Higher = cooler interior.
- SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) — fraction of solar heat entering the building. Lower = less heat gain.
- UV Rejection — percentage of ultraviolet radiation blocked. 99%+ protects furnishings from fading.
- Glare Reduction — percentage of visible glare eliminated for more comfortable views.
- SC (Shading Coefficient) — ratio of solar heat gain vs. clear glass. Lower = better solar control.

3M Window Film FAQ
Common questions about 3M films, specs, and installation from our certified dealer team in Los Angeles.
3M Prestige uses proprietary multi-layer nano-technology to reject more heat at higher VLT levels than Ceramic films. Prestige 70 rejects 50% of solar energy while transmitting 69% of visible light — performance that Ceramic films cannot match without going much darker. Both are non-metallic and signal-friendly, but Prestige delivers superior clarity-to-heat-rejection ratios.
3M Prestige 70 is the best choice — it rejects 50% of solar energy while allowing 69% of natural light through, making it virtually invisible on glass. For even more clarity, the Prestige 90 Exterior rejects 36% of heat with 88% VLT. Both use non-metallic technology, so there's no signal interference.
Yes. All 3M solar control films block 99% or more of harmful UV radiation, which is the primary cause of fading in furniture, flooring, artwork, and fabrics. This applies to Prestige, Ceramic, Night Vision, Neutral, and all other 3M film series.
Both are clear security films, but they differ in construction. Safety S40 is a standard 4-mil tear-resistant film for basic shatter protection. Scotchshield Ultra S600 uses 3M's patented micro-layered construction that is rated for bomb blast mitigation and forced-entry resistance — it's significantly stronger for high-security applications like government buildings, schools, and storefronts.
Yes, but film selection matters. 3M Prestige and Thinsulate CC75 are specifically engineered for compatibility with dual-pane and Low-E glass. As a certified 3M dealer, we evaluate your glass type before recommending a film to ensure compatibility and prevent thermal stress. Some darker or reflective films may not be suitable for certain glass types.
3M architectural window films typically last 15–25 years depending on the series, glass orientation, and climate. All 3M films installed by Window Tints Everything come with a manufacturer warranty covering peeling, bubbling, cracking, and delamination for the life of the film.
