Do 3M™ Window Films cause glass to break?
The application of 3M™ Window Films can increase the temperature of your sunlit glass which will increase the stress on the glass edges. The quality of the glass edges and several other factors (external shading, interior shading, glass history, type of film, size/shape of glass, indoor/outdoor temperature) all contribute to the potential risk of glass breakage. 3M’s thirty (30) years of experience applying 3M™ Window Films to different types of glass enables us to make correct film/glass compatibility recommendations and minimise the potential for glass breakage. In addition, we support these recommendations with a Thermal Stress Analysis to calculate potential risks so that the correct advice can be given.
