Description

No, 3M Scotchtint window films do not cause seal failure. We’ve been applying 3M Scotchtint films to insulated windows for over 30 years with several millions of square feet of film applied to date. When recommended films are applied to the inside pane of an insulated glass unit, there will be some absorption of the sun’s energy, which will increase the temperature of the glass pane. Some of this heat will transmit to the airspace, slightly raising the airspace temperature.

We are enjoying our film, and the whole experience of working with Carolina Solar Control has been an excellent ones. I saw your products about a year ago at the Home Show, and knew that we might have a use for it after we built our home. Everyone has been wonderful to work with, and we appreciate all of you. I’ll be happy to post a positive comment online (although I’ve never done it before)! Thanks for your service. We will promote your business to our friends, and know that it has done wonders for our “issues” here!

It’s been a pleasure working with you and Carolina Solar. We’ve had quite a bit of work done in our home over the last several months and, unfortunately, haven’t been able to say that about most of the companies we’ve done business with. Working with Carolina Solar was a very positive experience.

Whether window film should be used on low E windows and how much you will benefit depends on three factors: Type of low E surface used on glass. Location of low E surface in the window system. The desired amount of heat gain reduction, heat loss reduction, or other film benefits. There are two basic types of low E surfaces on glass. One of these is a conductive coating put on glass as it is being made. It gives some heat loss reduction, but does little to reduce heat gain into a building.

No one has more experience with window film than 3M. In fact, not only did 3M receive the very first patent on window film in 1966, but today we’re still the only manufacturer that produces our own raw materials such as polyesters, adhesives, metals and scratch-resistant coatings. This gives us the quality control and product consistency other manufacturers just can’t match.
