Project Installation Before and After 3M™ Prestige 50

Window Film Depot recently completed a residential project in Southern California featuring 3M™ Prestige 50 Solar Control Window Film. Engineered to deliver high solar control performance without darkening the view, this spectrally selective film blocks up to 97% of infrared light—supporting energy efficiency, increased comfort, and long-term protection.

By allowing generous natural light into the home while maintaining low reflectivity on both sides, the film enhances the indoor experience and preserves clear views. From the outside, it gives the home a modern, refined appearance—combining function and curb appeal in a single solution.
