Historical Building in Seattle Becomes More Energy Efficient

Recently, ABC Sun Control was called into the historical James Tower building in Seattle. This building had a need where they wanted to reduce heat load coming through the glass and make the space more energy efficient. However, for historic reasons, they did not want to change the appearance of the glass. We suggested using a 3M Thinsulate Climate Control Window Film called CC75 that would provide the performance they were looking for without changing the appearance of the glass. As an additional benefit, this film will help retain heat in the Winter months which will also add to the energy efficiency. This film adds performance that makes a single-pane window perform like it is a double-pane and makes a double-pane widows perform like a triple-pane! The Building Engineer, Ben Walker, summed up the added benefits by saying "I wanted to follow up with you regarding the window film installed in suite 630. I am very impressed with how well that has worked and how much it was able to reduce the heat load in that room. Occupants are happy and haven’t had any temperature issues since it was installed. I am amazed at the difference."

Check out the pictures from the outside and inside during installation to see how clear and unnoticeable this revolutionary film is.

Exotic Metals in Seattle Meets Standards with 3M Thinsulate Window Film

Exotic Metals in Seattle, Washington was looking to meet the new Washington State energy standards on a commercial remodel that they were doing. The engineer working on the project recommended a 3M Thinsulate Window Film instead of a window replacement to meet the standard. By applying the film to double pane insulated windows the U-value was increased enough to meet the new standards and utilize the existing windows as opposed to costly window replacement. In addition, these standards could be kept using a film that did not noticeably change the appearance of the windows. See the video below taken during installation.
