3M Thinsulate Window Film
Smarter windows.
Brighter you.



Smarter windows keep weather 
out where it belongs.
3M™ Thinsulate™ Climate Control Window Film is a low emissivity, or “Low E,” window film that helps improve 
the insulation value of a typical single-pane window close to that of a double-pane window, and of a double-pane 
close to that of a triple-pane. Application of 3M™ Thinsulate™ Climate Control Window Film is much, much less 
expensive than actually replacing all that glass, and the results rival or match the performance, and  
appearance, of new glass.
Historic registered buildings, newer office towers, and every sort of building in between can be improved 
by the addition of 3M™ Thinsulate™ Climate Control Window Film. It enhances sustainability, comfort, and 
helps to provide fade protection, while remaining virtually invisible, with a neutral appearance that will not 
dramatically change the look of your windows—inside or out.

20 times as much heat as  
20x the same area in an adjacent
