Balance between light, comfort and energy efficiency
When choosing materials for facades and glazing, architects and building owners often have to achieve the ideal balance between aesthetics, functionality and comfort. It is with this mission that the new 3M Prestige 50 Exterior was developed – a film that facilitates the selection process and combines high performance, energy efficiency and modern design.
More options without compromise

3M Prestige 50 Exterior is an important step forward in the development of solar control technologies. Until now, specialists had to choose between higher light transmission and stronger heat reduction. Now there is no longer a need to compromise. The new film provides both thanks to an advanced design that allows a better combination of functionality and visual effect. The goal is clear: to reduce cooling costs, improve the comfort of the occupants and preserve the appearance of the building. For architects, investors and owners, this means more design freedom and better operational results.
More light, same efficiency
Natural light is key to a better feeling and a more productive environment. 3M Prestige 50 Exterior lets in 10% more visible light than the popular Prestige 40 Exterior film, while maintaining its excellent heat gain reduction performance.
The difference in thermal protection between the two products is only 2–5%, meaning that comfort no longer has to be sacrificed for energy efficiency.
The result – brighter and more pleasant spaces, less dependence on artificial lighting and real savings in energy consumption.
