Video: 3M launches Thinsulate window film

3M has taken some measures to help homeowners combat drafty windows and bring insulation technology to these oft-overlooked spots.

3M Thinsulate Window Film Climate Control Series provides a cost-effective, year-round solution to prevent heating and cooling loss, as well as block harmful UV rays -- thus building on the benefits already offered by 3M Sun Control Window Film.

The film has a patented construction that helps reflect more interior heat back into the room, reducing cold drafts near windows and saving on energy costs.

“Window films have been proving their worth in residential and commercial applications since 3M received the first sun control window film patent 50 years ago, and Thinsulate technology has been used to insulate our coats, gloves and blankets for nearly 50 years,"  said Bill Pettit, global marketing manager, 3M Renewable Energy Division. "Now, Thinsulate window film will be providing comfort, warmth and quality to the existing windows in our homes and buildings. With the year-round savings that are made possible by our Thinsulate window film, the advantages in all climates becomes even more compelling.”
