3M Night Vision Series Overview

Energy Products Distribution (EPD) sells 3M Night Vision Series sun control window films as a dual reflective option for clients who want strong heat and glare rejection without the mirror effect that comes with traditional metallized films. Because one side of the film (interior) is significantly less reflective than the other (exterior), Night Vision films make it easier for occupants to see outside at night, while still delivering strong daytime performance. Installed on the interior surface of the glass, Night Vision has a slight brown hue and sits between 3M Prestige Series and 3M Ceramic Architectural Series in performance and appearance.

  • NV15: 15% visible light transmission, the darkest and strongest option in the series for solar heat gain and glare control
  • NV25: 25% visible light transmission, a mid-range option that still offers daytime privacy from the exterior
  • NV35: 35% visible light transmission, the lightest option for clients who want more natural light with moderate performance

Key Features

  • Dual reflective construction reduces interior reflectivity, improving nighttime visibility compared to traditional metallized films
  • Slight brown hue instead of the shiny, mirror-like look of silver, amber, copper, bronze, or nickel
  • Rejects up to 71% of solar heat and blocks 99% of UV rays
  • Backed by a limited lifetime residential warranty and a 12-year commercial warranty
  • Compatible with most curtainwall windows, glass doors, and single or double pane glass in clear or tinted, annealed, or tempered construction

What We Love About 3M Night Vision Series

3M Night Vision Series solves the tradeoff clients run into with most reflective films: strong performance usually means a shinier, more mirrored appearance both day and night. Night Vision keeps the heat and glare rejection dealers expect while giving occupants a clearer view outside after dark, something typical metallized films can’t offer at the same performance level.

For professionals working with clients who want noticeable heat and glare reduction without a fully reflective look, 3M Night Vision Series is the natural recommendation.
