Subject: UV-filtering film

UV-filtering film

Bradford Cole made inquiries about UV-filtering film for large
windows in a library.

The new wing of the Indianapolis Museum of Art has large windows
opening onto gallery space. These windows have UV- filtering film
applied to them.  The film is made by 3M Company and comes in
several tints with varying abilities to reduce heat, glare, and UV
light.  The product is called Scotchtint Sun Control Window Films.
The film chosen for the museum windows is said to filter out 98% of
the UV light, provides 45% heat reduction, and 57% glare reduction.
