3M Fasara Decorative Window Film: Stripes Forever

November 28, 2017 by Carol S 2 Comments

Fasara Decorative Window Film: Stripes Forever
Fasara Decorative Window Film: Stripes Forever

You might be wondering about the many types of window film there are. Window film is available to block out UV light, but did you know that you could use decorative window film and that there are hundreds of patterns available? This is Part One of our series on 3M™ Fasara™ decorative window film, which is a family of polyester, decorative films for glass surfaces. You can quickly transform your interior with modern and energetic designs.

And in case you missed it, here’s our last post: Window Film: A Quick and Easy Way to Save Money?

Series on 3M Fasara Decorative Window Film

For those of you who are fans of decorative window film, this is part one in our series. We’ll be following up with two others:

  • 3M Fasara Decorative Window Film: Dotty for Dots
  • 3M Fasara Decorative Window Film: Patterns

Before we go any further, there are a few reasons to use 3M’s Fasara decorative window film.

Control Light and Privacy

Control Light and Privacy

Who decides how much light you have in your home or office? If you leave it up to chance, you’ll be taking your chances! You may need a lot of lighting in one area, and very little in another. If you have a conference room or a bath, you might like to control the privacy. In both instances, 3M™ Fasara™ is a good option.

We suggest you use  3M™ Fasara™ any place you want to control light and privacy, such as:

  • Conference rooms
  • Bathrooms
  • Reception areas
  • Kitchens
  • Break rooms
  • Private offices
Use a Combination of Wide and Narrow Stripes

Use Wide or Narrow Stripes

If you’re one of those people who has difficulty choosing, the good news is that you don’t have to! You can get a combination of wide and narrow stripes and your glass will look perfectly chic! Of course, you could also just use either narrow or wide stripes. You might want to mirror what’s outside your window by choosing something similar for your interior.

 

Cost Savings

Cost Savings Will Be Yours

Avoid the expense of custom curtains or window shades when you opt for 3M™ Fasara™ window film.

What You Need to Know About 3M™’s Daylight Redirecting Film

October 24, 2017 by Carol S Leave a Comment

What You Need to Know About 3M™'s Daylight Redirecting Film
What You Need to Know About 3M™’s Daylight Redirecting Film

We’re very excited to show you some images of 3M Daylight Redirecting Film that we installed recently, and to explain how the redirecting film works. Here are the images of the installation first, with the explanation below of how the film works below the images.

In the image above, you can see our technician putting the finishing touches on an installation in San Francisco. Great job to our technicians Soe and Coco! We couldn’t do it without them!

In the next image, above, you can see how the Daylight Redirecting film moves the light further into the office. Obviously, we’re very excited by this new material, and we’d love to come and install some for you!

Avoid Depression

Avoid Depression

Say you have a dark office, with only a small amount of light coming in through the window. Now that could lead to a lot of your coworkers being depressed during the darker months of the year (or even the lighter months if you’re in a foggy place like San Francisco). And you wouldn’t want that, would you? By the way, you might like this recent article: The Best Window Film Installations You Might Want to See ( a compilation of recent installs!).

Sunlight Increases Productivity

Sunlight increases productivity, enhances mood, and gives us a sense of well being. In fact, an article from Harvard Medical School outlines the ways that sunlight affects your mood: Let the sun shine: Mind your mental health this winter. Not only that, but more light has been shown to decrease absenteeism. Not to mention, with more light inside, you can avoid those fights for the window seats!

Be a Magician and Bend the Light!

So 3M™ Daylight Redirecting Film actually changes the way light enters a room and can let the light penetrate into the inside of a room. Daylight Redirecting Film uses many micro-prisms to redirect the light. We think that’s pretty cool!

Redistribute the Light

Instead of putting shades on the windows, thus blocking the light for everyone in an office, you can use Daylight Redirecting Film to redistribute the light. That’s right: light sharing has entered the sharing economy! And if you don’t think you need window film in San Francisco, you might want to read this: Window Film in San Francisco!

  • Requires no special hardware
  • Requires no special infrastructure
  • Does not need additional maintenance or cleaning
  • Works at all times of the day, even when the sun is low in the sky

Nearly Invisible

You can see Thinsulate™ window film, but only if you really try! It’s so thin, that you might not even realize it’s there! That’s the beauty of it. It protects you so well, that you forget it’s there.

Gives You Control

Don’t you like to control the temperature within your own home or office? If you’re not running over to the temperature gauge every other minute, you could be using that time for something else. And with the recent extreme temperature fluctuations, wouldn’t that be a relief?

Stabilizes Temperatures

Now the rooms within your home or building can have similar temperatures, instead of one room being so extremely hot or cold.

Less Expensive

Installing double-pane windows can be a pain in the neck, as well as extremely expensive. There is a less expensive alternative: Thinsulate™! And Thinsulate™ is almost as effective as that extra pane of glass.
