Why Install 3M Window Film?

Position your company in the marketplace by carrying a recognized brand name. As a company in the Fortune 500 list, 3M is known globally for its science, technology and innovation. The Minnesota-based manufacturer provides products designed to improve everyday life. 3M’s well-known products include Scotch, Scotchguard, Post-It Notes and more. 3M is a brand people already know and trust.

No one company has more experience with window films than 3M. In 1966, 3M received the first patent for window films. Today, there are millions of meters of 3M™ Window Films installed around the world. Each film is scientifically tested before it is brought to the market.

When your customers choose 3M, they are choosing peace of mind. This is because 3M has one of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry. 3M™ Window Films are backed by a warranty directly by 3M.
