About
Night Vision Films are another great innovation by 3M. Made of carbon fiber polyester, this film offers the best blend between performance and optical clarity. Night Vision films are reflective films, however they are not nearly as reflective as traditional silver or bronze films.
What does Night Vision mean?
This patented technology is known as Night Vision because of its low interior reflectivity. Traditional reflective films have equal amounts of reflectivity on both sides of the film making your inside view look like a mirror at night, dawn, dusk, overcast and rainy days. Of course this means you will not be able to see out of your windows during these times. Since Night Vision film’s interior reflectivity is the same as clear glass this is not a problem. In fact, most people have GREATER optical clarity and increased views once the right Night Vision product for their situation is applied to the existing windows!
