The Prestige Series Combines Window Film with High Technology
Our 3M™ Prestige Series of window films is comprised of hundreds of layers of film specially designed to cause light waves to reflect off of its surface. They are compressed into the thickness of a piece of paper. The precision with which light waves are controlled as they pass through or reflect off of hundreds of layers of film is the secret to this film’s incredible energy efficiency. This window film will help you lower energy costs, eliminate hot spots, reduce glare and protect carpets, drapes, and furniture from UV rays.

A little sun is great, but too much sun can cause, heat, glare, and fading problems. Window tinting is a great solution. But who should you call for window tinting in Sacramento? The answer is simple – Tintmaster. Whether you need commercial, residential or 
Window film is an investment – a smart one. Not only will window film lower heating and cooling costs and reduce glare and fading from the sun, it will also last a long time.

Ultraviolet rays, also known as UV rays, are the dangerous rays from the sun that can cause skin cancer. Limiting your exposure to the sun and wearing sunscreen is recommended for human protection. But skin is not the only thing UV rays can damage. They are also responsible for damaging many items in your home. Drapes, carpets, upholstered furniture, walls, artwork, even hardwood floors can be faded and dried out from these harmful rays. Anything in their path is at risk. The team at Tintmaster has put together a list of options for homeowners to consider when looking to protect your home, including window film.

The sun is an unrelenting foe when it comes to aging and fading of upholstery, carpet, drapes, and even wood floors. So when a historic home in Pittsburgh required protection from the damaging effects of the sun, 3M window films came to the rescue. Tintmaster of Sacramento brings you the story.
In the heart of downtown Los Angeles, lives a beautiful office building with an absolutely stunning space on the 25th & 26th floors. Built in 1982, the 26-story building encompasses an entire city block and has more than 700,000 square feet of office space. When new tenants, CBRE Global Investors bought the building in 2012, they decided to locate their global headquarters in the atrium-like 25th and 26th floors.
The project was still a massive one. It required scaffolding to be built which took a week to construct and a week to tear down. The actual installation took a week as well, but the results were well worth the effort. “We’re absolutely thrilled with the way this project turned out,” Bonomo said. “We’re now headquartered in this remarkably beautiful space; and both our employees and clients can focus on the dramatic views, and all of the other benefits, without fighting the heat and glare problems.”
At Tintmaster in Sacramento, we are always surprised to hear that homeowners do not know that there are different types of window tinting. While most homeowners predominately use window tinting to control damage from the sun, there are other reasons homeowners should consider window tinting: security and aesthetics. We break down the differences between window films below with the help of our buddies at 3M.
Home and business owners alike love our window tinting for keeping out the infrared rays of the sun. This keeps homes and offices cool and helps to reduce solar heat gain, which in turn, lowers energy bills. But the sun has other rays that, while they don’t cause solar heat gain, they can cause severe fading of interior fabrics and carpet. The Tintmaster pros get questions about fading all the time. What causes fading? Why do some items fade faster than others? Which colors fade the worst? What can I do to prevent fading? We hope to answer those questions and give you a little insight here:
