One film for the heat problem and the safety one.
Night Vision solar performance on a micro-layered safety film — for buildings that need both and do not want a mirror.
Security film or sun control? With Ultra Night Vision you get both — micro-layered tear resistance plus Night Vision sun control in a single film. Cooler rooms, less glare, clear views at night, and forced-entry protection.
- Retail storefronts
- Street-level offices
- Restaurants & hospitality

3M Ultra Night Vision rating
■ Installed with the patent-pending Epic Method for break-and-entry, blast and windstorm applications.
What it does, and what makes it a system.
Ultra Night Vision combines Night Vision’s low interior reflectivity — the glass still looks like glass after dark — with 3M’s micro-layered safety construction. It is specified where a building wants solar control and glass retention without the mirrored look of traditional reflective films.
Why buildings choose 3M Ultra Night Vision
- Forced-entry resistance: Micro-layered film holds broken glass in the frame and makes it more difficult for an intruder to break in.
- Smash-and-grab protection: Added resistance for retail and storefront glass.
- Energy savings: Rejects up to 62% of solar heat and lowers HVAC costs year-round.
- Tenant comfort: Less heat and glare for cooler spaces.
- Nighttime clarity: Low interior reflectivity — tenants see the view, not a mirror.
How Epic installs this film
Precision-cut, kitted and installed by Epic-employed Certified Installation Specialists. Where glass retention is in the scope, the film is anchored to the frame with a structural silicone attachment.

3M Scotchshield safety and security films. The security films (3M S2400, Ultra S800, S140 and the Ultra solar-safety films) are installed with the Epic Method attachment; the S40, S70 and S80 safety films are bonded to the glass for breakage and human-impact protection. Clear films leave the glass looking unchanged; the Ultra films add Prestige or Night Vision sun control to the same layer. Eleven films.

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.

3M S2400
The only polyurethane security film we know of — every other security film on the market is polyester (PET). About 4X the elongation (560% vs 130%) and two-thirds more Graves tear resistance (24.6 vs 14.8 lbf·in) than a 22-mil PET security film, by 3M’s published data — and installed anchored to the frame with the Epic Method, never film-only.
