The clear film architects specify when glass must stay invisible.
Non-metallized, up to 97% infrared rejection, no corrosion, no signal interference.
Heat through glass drives HVAC costs up, tenant comfort down, and lease renewals sideways. Prestige Series uses non-metallic, multi-layer optical film to reject 97% of infrared light. Your building stays cooler, your people stay comfortable, and your exterior appearance stays unchanged.

3M Prestige rating
3M Prestige, installed.
What it does, and where it belongs.
Prestige is 3M’s premium clear solar film: hundreds of nano-layers instead of metal, so it rejects heat without a reflective look, does not corrode in coastal air, and does not interfere with cell or Wi-Fi signals. It is the film for lobbies, conference rooms and homes where the glass has to look untreated.
Why people choose 3M Prestige
- Heat rejection: Rejects up to 97% of infrared light and up to 60% of the heat coming through windows.
- Full natural light: High visible light transmission — no dark tint, no closed blinds.
- Signal friendly: Non-metallic: no interference with Wi-Fi, mobile, or building systems.
- UV protection: Blocks 99.9% of UV rays to protect furnishings, flooring, and assets.
- Exterior appearance: Low reflectivity — the building looks the same from the outside.
Which glass this film is approved for
Prestige is approved for most single-pane and insulated glass units, including many tinted and low-E glasses where metallized films are not. Epic confirms glass type, orientation and thermal-stress compatibility at the free survey, and the 3M warranty terms are stated on the proposal. Run your building through Epic’s facility energy analysis to see the payback for your glass.

Non-metallic, multi-layer optical film: rejects up to 97% of infrared heat with low reflectivity and no signal interference. Five 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.
