3M™ Ceramic Architectural Series · sun control window film · installed by Epic
All the light. Far less heat.
Nano-ceramic sun control with no metal, no mirror and no signal interference.
Sun-washed interior light, without the heat. For architects and property managers who won’t compromise on aesthetics or performance, Ceramic Architectural delivers both. Nano-ceramic particles absorb and reject heat without altering appearance, reflectivity, or signal performance. The glass looks the same. The building stays cooler.

3M Ceramic rating
What it does, and where it belongs.
Ceramic uses a nano-ceramic layer to reject infrared heat while keeping high visible light transmission and a neutral, non-reflective appearance. It is the quiet choice for conference rooms, classrooms and homes where a darker or mirrored film would be noticed.
Why people choose 3M Ceramic
- Aesthetically pure: No dark tint or mirror effect — design intent preserved.
- Heat rejection: Blocks up to 55% of solar heat for cooler interiors.
- Clear views: High visible light transmission without glare or heat.
- UV protection: Blocks 99% of UV rays.
Which glass this film is approved for
Approved for most single-pane and insulated glass; Epic confirms thermal-stress compatibility for tinted and low-E glass at the free survey. Installed by Epic-employed Certified Installation Specialists in a morning per floor on most buildings.

3M Ceramic, rendered on the actual windows.
Drag the handle. Only the glass changes; the bars show how much light and heat still come through with this film. Switch shades or series to compare.
Nano-ceramic, non-metallic: strong heat rejection with a design-neutral, low-reflective look, no signal interference, no corrosion. Four shades.
Drag the handle on the photo to compare.
Rendering is computed from the film’s published optical values applied only to the glass in each photo (clear-glass baseline: 88% VLT, 8% exterior reflectance). This is a simulation; actual appearance varies with glass type, sun angle and shade — we put real samples on your real glass before you decide.
What does 3M Ceramic save on your building?
Enter your glass by elevation, your HVAC and your electricity rate — the estimator ranks every 3M film for your climate, 3M Ceramic included. The full analysis adds payback from a quoted price on your actual glass.
The numbers.
Per 3M published data. Values vary by shade and glass type; representative shade shown.

3M Prestige
Non-metallized, up to 97% infrared rejection, no corrosion, no signal interference.
View →3M Night Vision
Low-reflectivity solar film for buildings where the view out after dark matters as much as the cooling bill.
View →3M Affinity
Reflective commercial solar film that rejects up to 79% of total solar energy — 3M’s published figure. Run your building through the energy analysis to see the number.
View →On commercial buildings where cooling load, glare and fading drive the decision, and in homes that want the view without the heat. Run the facility energy analysis for your building’s payback, compare shades in the visualizer, or pair it with 3M DI-NOC finishes for a lobby refresh.
