How to Choose the Right Window Film for your Home or Business.
Choosing the right window film for your home or business in Windsor means matching your goals—whether that's energy savings, safety, privacy, or design—to the right product. With over 25 years of experience installing premium 3M films, Windsor Window Imaging helps guide you every step of the way.
Key Types of 3M Window Films
Sun-Control Films (e.g., 3M™ Prestige Series): These films selectively reject infrared heat (up to 97 %) and block 99.9 % of UV rays, helping reduce glare and energy use in summer while preserving natural light.
Safety & Security Films - Designed to hold glass fragments together upon impact, these films enhance protection against break-ins, accidents, and extreme weather while also offering heat rejection.
Decorative & Privacy Films (e.g., 3M™ Fasara Glass Finishes)
Available in over 100 designs—from frosted and textured patterns to gradients—these decorative films create privacy, style, and brand presence at a fraction of the cost of etched or sandblasted glass.Specialty Films (e.g., Anti-Graffiti, Blast Mitigation)
These films offer niche solutions for high-traffic or high-risk environments, combining security, branding, or dynamic effects.
Choosing the Right Film: Questions to Consider
What’s your main goal? Do you need energy savings, enhanced security, visual privacy, or a stylish upgrade?
Residential vs. Commercial? Filming solutions vary; commercial spaces might benefit from full-scale branding or durability, while homes might prioritize UV reduction or insulation.
Preserve views or add privacy? Select films that balance transparency and privacy, like graduated patterns in 3M Fasara's series
Permanent design or flexibility? Decorative films can be removed and replaced easily, giving you flexibility for redesigns.
