In the early 1960s, 3M experimented with a line of energy efficient transparent tapes and invented the first modern window film, A-18.  It was dark and silver and cut 80% of the glare and 70% of the heat.  Today's P-18, except for a better adhesive and a scratch resistant coating, hasn't changed much in over 40 years.

Today's modern window films can cut over 50% of the sun's heat and still be virtually invisible.  These films are tailor made for the gray days we have in the Northwest.  The window on the left below is tinted and the one on the right is not.

Most Scotchtint films are also engineered to be as safe as possible for use on modern thermal pane windows.  

In fact, we are so confident of the safety of our films on this type of glass that we will replace any glass warranty that is voided by the glass manufacturer as the result of installing our films.

Our site is designed to give you an overview of 3M Scotchtint and window film in general.  If you require more detailed information, visit our contact page and drop us a line or give us a call.  

We are in the business of solving problems and we look forward to helping you solve yours.
