Window Film can Change the Whole Look of a Building

Mercy Health/Saint Mary’s Hospital just got a makeover!

We took on the task of removing Forty-Thousand square feet of a film-gone-bad and the results were amazing. Using a swing stage off of the roof, we installed 3M Prestige 40 Exterior Film – which was applied from the roof down.

Mercy Health Saint Mary’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan

This exterior film makes a dramatic change to the aesthetics of the building AND reduces heat & glare which saves energy and makes the staff and patients more comfortable!

Residential Heat? Glare? Fading? There’s a Window Film For That!

Energy Savings & Protection from UV Damage YEAR ROUND!

3M Night Vision 25. With a view like this – who wants to put up window shades?

3M Sun Control Window Films are a popular choice for superior UV protection while maintaining a great view and better sight at night! Night Vision comes in 3 tint levels to meet your needs – yet any of the tint levels will still yield you 99% UV rejection.

Here are some of the details of this awesome film:

  • Offers enhanced views with low interior reflectivity, especially at night.
  • Rejects up to 71% of the sun’s heat to help reduce glare and eye discomfort.
  • Significantly blocks the amount of harmful UV rays that cause fading, helping to extend the life of your furnishings.
  • Made with a scratch-resistant coating to ensure clear views.
  • 3M™ nano-technology enhances the film’s color stability.
    Includes a comprehensive warranty from 3M.

Solar Gard TrueVue solar control products are ‘dual reflective’ – reflective on the outside to maximize heat rejection and neutral on the inside to maintain views.

Key Benefits:

  • Reflective exterior maximizes heat rejection resulting in excellent energy savings and payback time
  • Low interior reflectance maintains views to the outside, especially at night
  • Contains our darkest product which can reduce glare by up to 94%
  • UV blockers protect people and property from damaging UV rays

Nothing is worse than finding out your furniture, carpet or wood flooring has faded when it’s too late to protect it from damaging UV rays. If you don’t have window treatments and are not diligent about pulling window shades or curtains – chances are damage is occurring right now. Be proactive! We have a variety of options for residential and commercial installation and to satisfy whatever your primary concern is.

In addition to UV protection – you will see a vast difference in the amount of heat rejection window film provides. Heat rejection translates to energy savings and lower bills. It’s definitely a win-win all the way around!
