3M Ceramic IR Window Film
Advanced ceramic construction that goes after infrared heat specifically — so you can cut the heat and glare in a room without dropping it into darkness or mirroring the glass.
3M™ Sun Control Window Film — Ceramic IR Series
Most of the heat you feel through a window arrives as infrared radiation. Ceramic IR uses a metal-free ceramic particle construction tuned to that part of the spectrum, so it can knock down a large share of the heat while still letting plenty of natural light through.
Because there's no metal layer, the film doesn't corrode and doesn't interfere with Wi-Fi, mobile reception, GPS or smart-home hardware — a common complaint with older reflective tints in apartments.
It sits between our entry solar films and the flagship 3M Prestige Series: more heat rejection than a standard dyed film, at a friendlier price than Prestige, with a neutral look that suits most Melbourne homes and offices.
Targets infrared heat
Ceramic construction absorbs and rejects the infrared band you feel as heat, without needing a dark or reflective tint.
Neutral, non-mirrored look
A natural charcoal tone from inside and out — no chrome or mirror finish on your façade.
No signal interference
Metal-free ceramic layers, so Wi-Fi, mobile reception, GPS and smart-home devices are unaffected.
