The short answer

What is 3M window film?

3M window film is a family of thin, engineered films bonded to the glass you already have. Depending on the film, it rejects solar heat and glare, blocks up to 99% of UV, holds broken glass together, or adds privacy and design. Homeowners usually call it 3M window tint; on a building it is specified as architectural window film.

The film is half of the result. The other half is how it is cut, applied and, for security film, attached to the frame. That is the part Epic owns, and it is why the largest project in 3M’s history went to Epic: Cherry Creek School District.

3M security and safety films

Keep the glass in the frame.

Film holds broken glass together. Attachment keeps it in the building. Forced-entry and blast installs go in with 3M IPA, installed the Epic way.

3M sun-control films

Keep the light. Lose the heat.

Clear to reflective, interior to exterior, summer-only to all-season. Each 3M family has its own page with 3M’s published figures by shade and an Epic spec card.

Why buy 3M film from Epic

Same 3M film. A different installation.

  • The largest 3M window film dealer in the nation. A 3M Platinum Elite National Dealer, installing nationwide.
  • Epic crews, never subcontractors. Every Certified Installation Specialist is an Epic employee, trained and certified in-house.
  • Security film cut before the crew arrives. Epic Precision has cut every security film job this way since 2023: each lite measured, cut and kitted in the shop. A hand cut can leave a nick in the film edge, and a nick is where a film tears when it is ever asked to hold. The machine removes that human error.
  • 3M IPA, installed the Epic way. Gasket out, cork wedges in, film to the frame, and the structural bead tooled into the open channel. See the Epic Method.
  • Proof you can check. The largest project in 3M’s history, district reference letters and completed projects. References · Projects.

Is it 3M window film or 3M window tint?

Both names describe the same products on a house or a building. “Tint” suggests darker glass, but most of the 3M films Epic installs do not darken the view: 3M Prestige rejects up to 97% of infrared heat and stays virtually clear. Darker and reflective films are there when daytime privacy or maximum heat rejection is the goal.

Epic installs 3M film on buildings and homes only. 3M’s automotive films are a separate line sold through automotive dealers.

FAQ

3M window film questions

Is Epic an authorized 3M window film dealer?
Yes. Epic is a 3M Platinum Elite National Dealer and the largest 3M window film dealer in the nation. Every film on this page is a 3M film, installed nationwide by Epic’s own Certified Installation Specialists, never subcontractors.
Where can I get 3M window film installed?
Epic installs 3M window film nationwide from offices in McKinney and Aurora. Start with a free assessment: a Solutions Advisor looks at your glass, recommends the 3M film for each window or elevation and sends a written estimate. Request a free assessment.
Is 3M window film the same as 3M window tint?
For homes and buildings, yes: “window tint” is what most people call architectural window film. 3M’s films go well past darkening glass. The clear films such as 3M Prestige reject heat without a dark look, the security films hold broken glass together, and the decorative films add privacy. See window tinting vs window film.
What is the best 3M window film for a home?
The one matched to the room and the direction it faces. For heat with no change in look, 3M Prestige; for glare with low reflectivity, 3M Night Vision; for a balance of heat rejection and clarity, 3M Ceramic; for privacy, a 3M Fasara finish. Epic puts samples on your own glass before you choose. See residential 3M window film.
Does 3M window film come with a warranty?
3M window film is warranted by 3M: a limited lifetime warranty on residential films when professionally installed, and commercial warranties by product. Epic’s installation guarantee sits on top. Details by film are on the warranty page.
What does 3M window film cost?
It depends on the film, the square footage, the glass and access, and for security film the frame attachment. Planning ranges by film type are in the window film cost guide; your firm number comes after a free survey. On a commercial building, the Facility Energy Analysis shows the payback before anyone quotes.
Is 3M security film bulletproof?
No. No window film is bulletproof. 3M security film holds broken glass together and, attached to the frame with 3M IPA installed the Epic way, keeps it in the opening, making it more difficult for potential intruders to break in. See is security film bulletproof?
Do you install 3M automotive window tint?
No. Epic installs 3M window film on buildings and homes only: commercial, institutional, government and residential glass. For a car, see a 3M automotive dealer.
Is 3M a good brand of window film?
3M publishes performance data and written warranties for its architectural films, including a limited lifetime residential warranty when professionally installed. The installation decides the rest, which is why Epic, the largest 3M window film dealer in the nation, installs with its own certified crews.
How do I know my 3M window film was installed by an authorized dealer?
Ask for the 3M warranty certificate. An authorized dealer registers the installation with 3M (Epic does it within 30 days) and hands you the certificate at closeout; keep it with your invoice.
What is the difference between 3M Prestige and 3M Ceramic?
3M Prestige is built for heat rejection with a virtually clear look, rejecting up to 97% of infrared heat. 3M Ceramic balances heat rejection and clarity. Both carry a lifetime residential warranty; commercial terms are 15 years for Prestige and 12 for Ceramic.
Does 3M make security window film?
Yes. The 3M security line includes Scotchshield Ultra S800, Ultra Prestige, Ultra Night Vision, S2400 and the Safety series. Epic installs it attached to the frame with 3M IPA, installed the Epic way, for forced-entry work.
