Summer is the time when it’s so important to protect your skin from the sun. Of course you want to always protect it, but summer can be the most harmful. We all know sunscreen does a lot to help protect us, but what about when you’re indoors? I’m sure many don’t think that it can be harmful for when you’re indoors, but it certainly can. When the sun shines through the windows of your home or vehicle, you can feel all that heat. This is why I think it’s a great idea to make sure to have window film on your windows of your home as well as your vehicle.
3M™ Residential and Automotive Window Film is a professionally installed product that can be used to improve the comfort, energy efficiency and look of any room or vehicle. I’m all about energy-efficient products, so these would be perfect for both my home as well as my vehicle. I would actually love to have this in my car. I drive often with my kids in the car, so this would be something that would be nice to have on my car so that we can all have uv protection. You know how hot it can get while you’re in the car, and nothing is worse than not having ac either. If your ac goes out, at least this film can help protect your skin from the uv. There are many other great benefits as well.
3M invented window films 50 years ago. For the past five decades they have been innovating and improving them. Their products offer both homeowners and car owners protection from excessive heat and glare, faded furnishings, and provide security and privacy.They help maintain the appearance of your home and vehicle, allowing customers to enjoy the view, while simultaneously experiencing increased comfort and protection.

I would love to use this product for my car that I drive in with my kids. Since I’m usually the one with my kids in the car most of the time, I want everyone to be protected. It’s amazing to see how much the heat can go down with this window film. The percentage is huge, and that’s something I love to see. I know that with these products I’d be able to feel better about driving around with my kids in the car. I know I’ll get the best protection with the 3M window film.
Wouldn’t you love to be able to protect your family as well? My family is very important to me, so a product like this would be extremely useful. The window film can be used if you’re concerned about excessive heat, increased privacy, UV protection, a faded interior, glare or security.

This sounds really neat! I love that it blocks 99.9% UV light especially for a car so that you are always protected from the sun. Definitely going to look into this to keep those in my car as well as myself safe.
Right! I think it’s wonderful.
I tinted my own house windows and it was a great decision. It really helped to keep the house cooler, and my furniture from fading.
That’s great! I’m thinking sometime in the future I’d love to do it as well.
That is such a great idea! I’ve always wondered why this was never done for windows. I’m glad it finally is!
Right! I think it’s great.
We used window film on our previous house and it made a huge difference. We used it primarily on our west facing windows, so it cut down on the evening sun / heat, which is perfect since we live in a warm climate.
That’s great to hear. I would love to do this for my windows in my home at some point too.
I would love this in our vehicle! Often times I find that my skin is hot to the touch after driving somewhere for any length of time.
Exactly. I think window tint is a great idea.
That is so cool!! I knew that new windows can help control temp but I didn’t realize that it could decrease the rays that enter the windows!! Very cool
Yes! I would love to get the tint for my home windows.
We have 3M Window film on our vehicles to help protect the inside. I never though about doing it to my home windows but I really like that idea!
That’s great! I think it’s nice for vehicles to keep most of the uv rays away.
I have heard of this but was not sure what it does. I suppose it is very helpful to keep out harmful rays!
Yep, sure is. Such a great thing too.
This is awesome!! Quality window film is really important to me. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I completely agree, and you’re welcome!
This is such a smart product! I would love to use it on our living room window. It is a pretty big window and it faces the street.
Right! It’s a very good idea. I would love them for my windows in my home.
I live in sunny Florida so the 3M Window film would be awesome to have to protect from the heat and UV rays. The heat definitely penetrates excessively over here.
I could only imagine how hot that must be. This product would certainly help out with that.
Now this is some great technology. It would definitely be nice to block out UV rays this way. It sounds like it would make a big difference.
It sure would! I hope to get this someday.
Oh my gosh I need this!! We have a window that faces west so it’s always bright. Thanks for the tip!!
You’re welcome!
What a smart way to protect your windows. I need this for our windows for the glare.
Right! It’s a great idea.
I need to tint my windows. My living room gets full sun most of the day. We had the car windows done last year and it made a big difference.
It does make a huge difference. I use to have tint on my car windows, but not anymore. I need to get it again.
Protecting our skin from the harmful rays of the is very important. 3M is a trusted brand when it comes to window films. I’ve been using this for years.
I completely agree. It’s extremely important.
I haven’t even thought about adding protection to my car windows. I’ll have to see about getting 3M Window Film.
I use to have tint for my car windows, but not anymore. It really did make a huge difference.
We use 3M in the winter to keep the house warmer. I never thought to use it for other protection. Definitely going to look more into that!
That’s great!
I don’t think many people would have “window film” on their personal energy audits for their homes. Great suggestion for not only helping increase efficiency, but also filtering out those UV rays.
Exactly! A very good idea.
I’ve used the do-it-yourself film before, but that has all kinds of issues. I love the idea of a professionally installed version.
I love the idea of this too. Doing it yourself isn’t always the best way.
This is such a smart way to protect your windows! This will help a lot in winter too.
Right!
My previous home had window film and it made a huge difference in maintaining the temperature of our home during peak times. I would love to do a UV protectant on our current home. We have huge windows that bring in tons of direct sunlight.
That’s great to hear! I hope that someday I’ll be able to get this as well.
If I ever own another house, I am going to consider this option on my windows. It will help cut down on the electric bills.
I’d love to get this in the future as well.
These window tints sounds really get to help lower energy costs. They would definitely help cool our home.
Exactly! They’d be great to have.
It’s true, I hadn’t given much thought to the effects of the sun shining through the windows at home. Window film sounds like a great idea. I know I have ended up with some sunburn on arms and legs while traveling in the car for a distance on hot summer days, so it makes sense to use a product like this to prevent that from happening.
It is an awesome idea! I can’t wait to get it for my home.
This is brilliant for so many reasons. I can’t believe I haven’t heard of these, but I’m going to be stocking up ASAP.
I can’t wait to get some for my home. We just put in new windows, so this would be perfect.
