3M Window Film Upgrade at Royal Bank Tecumseh
If your commercial building struggles with excessive heat, glare, or outdated window film, you're not alone. At Windsor Window Imaging, we recently helped the Royal Bank branch in Tecumseh, Ontario, solve all three issues by installing high-performance 3M Prestige 20 Exterior Window Film.
In this case study, discover how a simple window film upgrade dramatically improved comfort, aesthetics, and energy efficiency in just two days.
The Challenge
When the Royal Bank branch in Tecumseh began experiencing issues with bubbling and deteriorating interior window film, it was clear that a replacement was necessary—not just for aesthetic reasons, but to improve employee comfort and preserve the building's efficiency. The branch, which features large south- and west-facing windows, suffered from significant heat gain and glare. Complicating the installation was the need to work around the bank’s regular business hours, employees, and office furnishings including filing cabinets, blinds, and other fixtures.
Windsor Window Imaging was brought in by the glass contractor overseeing the project, based on our reputation and longstanding expertise in 3M window film solutions.
The Solution
After assessing the branch’s needs and site conditions, we recommended removing the aging interior film and replacing it with 3M Prestige 20 Exterior Solar Control Window Film. This advanced film was selected for its high heat rejection, excellent glare reduction, and low reflectivity—an ideal balance for a high-traffic financial environment where clear views and employee comfort are paramount.
Key Benefits of 3M Prestige 20 Exterior:
Exceptional heat rejection for improved indoor comfort
Substantial glare reduction, enhancing visibility for employees and clients
Non-metalized construction, preserving views without mirrored reflections
