3M™ Sun Control Window Film – Night Vision Series

The 3M™ Sun Control Window Film – Night Vision Series is a premium solar control window film designed to reduce solar heat, glare and UV exposure while maintaining clearer views through windows, particularly at night. Its low interior reflectivity helps provide better outward visibility after dark, while its advanced nano-carbon technology helps control solar heat gain.

The Night Vision Series is available in NV 15, NV 25 and NV 35, allowing customers to select different levels of visible light transmission and privacy according to their requirements. The films allow approximately 15% to 35% visible light transmission and can reject up to 71% of the sun’s heat.

Better Views at Night

One of the key advantages of the 3M Night Vision Series is its low interior reflectivity. Unlike highly reflective window films, Night Vision is designed to help maintain clearer outward views after dark. This makes it particularly useful for buildings where occupants want solar control during the day without significantly compromising nighttime views.

---

Advanced Solar Heat Rejection

The Night Vision Series uses nano-carbon heat-gain reduction technology to help control solar energy entering through windows.

It can reject up to 71% of the sun’s heat, helping reduce heat gain and improve indoor comfort. By reducing excessive solar heat, the film may also help decrease reliance on air conditioning in suitable applications.

Available in NV 15, NV 25 & NV 35

The Night Vision Series offers three main visible-light-transmission options:

Night Vision 15

Provides approximately 15% visible light transmission and offers a darker appearance with stronger privacy characteristics.

Night Vision 25

Provides approximately 25% visible light transmission, offering a balance between daylight, solar control and privacy.

Night Vision 35

Provides approximately 35% visible light transmission, allowing more natural daylight while still providing solar-control benefits.

UV Protection

The 3M Night Vision Series provides significant UV protection. Technical data lists up to 99.9% ultraviolet rejection, helping reduce UV exposure through windows.

UV protection can help reduce fading and deterioration of:

• Furniture
• Carpets
• Curtains
• Upholstery
• Flooring
• Artwork
• Retail merchandise
• Interior decor

---

Glare Reduction

Direct sunlight can cause uncomfortable glare and eye strain, particularly in offices and rooms with large glass windows.

The Night Vision Series helps reduce glare and eye discomfort while maintaining useful natural daylight.

It is suitable for:

• Office workstations
• Conference rooms
• Living rooms
• Hotel rooms
• Retail stores
• Glass-fronted offices
• Commercial buildings

---

Daytime Privacy

The medium-to-dark versions of the Night Vision Series can provide additional daytime privacy, making it more difficult for people outside to see into the building while still allowing occupants to maintain outward visibility.

---

Scratch-Resistant Surface

The film features a scratch-resistant coating designed to help maintain clear views and improve the durability of the film surface.

---
