Case Studies
Tenant & Building Security
If you’re trying to protect people, property, and continuity of operations from the unknown (active shooter, terrorism, hurricanes, earthquakes, vandalism) 3M Safety & Security Window Films can address a building’s most vulnerable point – its glass.
If you’re responsible for managing street level retail space then you might have tenants worried about civil unrest, theft, and breaking and entering. You can help limit their worries by installing 3M Safety & Security Film on the ground floor windows to help to hold broken glass in place, making unwanted entry through glass more difficult.
If your building is a potential terrorist target or located near one, a bomb blast can pose a major threat to the safety of building occupants. Nearby glass implodes in tiny shards at high velocities and is a major threat to person, property, and continuity of operations. 3M Safety & Security Film helps to hold that broken glass in place and increase the safety of those nearby.
Refresh & Modernize Office Space
The ability to attract new tenants and retain existing ones is largely based on a building’s aesthetics, both inside and outside. Design trends change, people’s tastes change, and keeping up with those changes to maintain high occupancy rates can be costly with construction renovations. But it doesn’t have to be.
3M Architectural Finishes allow you to refresh, renew, and rejuvenate your office space without the high cost associated with construction projects. How 3M accomplishes this end is simple – by reusing existing materials and giving them a new skin. For example, with a 3M DI-NOC Architectural Finish, you can repurpose an existing office door and give it a new look in an hour, all without the high cost and disruption to tenants.
