3M offers a yacht window tinting solution designed to improve the comfort of your yacht or vessel so that you can focus on enjoying Florida’s crystal-clear waters, world-class fishing and year-round sunshine without the glare, harmful UV rays and excessive heat.
Here is a look at why installing 3M’s state-of-the-art Prestige Exterior Series will lead to a better experience on the open seas.
Reason One: Yacht Window Tinting Reduces Heat
Reduce heat within the indoor spaces of your boat using 3M’s Prestige Exterior Series, a yacht window tinting solution.
During Florida’s summers, which extends May to September, temperatures skyrocket. According to the Florida Climate Center at Florida State University, from July to August, it is common for temperatures to reach an average high of 95 degrees.
With 3M™ Prestige Exterior Series, 97% of the sun’s heat-producing infrared rays are rejected. The film is constructed using hundreds of thin layers of film, each one designed to deflect the sun’s unwanted rays away from your cabin glass. Through scientific testing, 3M’s Prestige Series has proven better performance as the sun’s angle increases – meaning when the sun is at its hottest, the yacht window tinting is working at its best to deflect harmful rays.
With yacht window tinting, the cabin of your vessel will have less heat pockets next to your glass windows. This is a difference you can feel. In addition, your air conditioning unit will not need to work as hard to keep the space cool.
Reason Two: Yacht Window Tinting Adds Privacy
According to financial advisors Kaiser Partner, the two main reasons people invest in yachting is for relaxation and privacy, and yacht window tinting can assist with both.
Many people take to the open water to get away from their busy lives on land. According to Super Yacht News, privacy is a concern for celebrities, such as Tiger Woods, who named his 154-foot superyacht “Privacy” and Royal Family member Princess Beatrice, who in 2018, sued a paparazzi press member for taking photos using a long lens camera on land of her enjoying a vacation aboard a yacht in Monaco.
Yacht window tinting, especially the darker tints, block the view so that you can easily see the great blue horizon through your vessel’s windows, but someone from either on land or in a boat cannot see inside your cabin. In fact, yacht window tinting like 3M’s Prestige Series Exterior offers low interior and exterior reflectivity while maintaining exterior appearance.
With greater tinted windows, boat owners are better able to enjoy the interior of their property without worrying about being on display.
Reason Three: Yacht Window Tinting Reduces Glare, Improves Eye Strain
Glare can happen due to sunlight bouncing off the water, the deck, and other boats you pass by, but fortunately, yacht window tinting can help reduce the effects of glare.
Enjoying the views of your boat can be difficult when there is an excessive amount of glare. While polarized sunglasses help while you are out on the deck, you don’t want to experience eye strain while in the cabin. Yacht window tinting can reduce the glare, making it easier to see outside to the clear blue as well as any screens, like television screens, tablets, mobile phones or laptops, that are inside.
In fact, 3M’s Prestige Exterior Series can reduce up to 77% glare. The darker the tinting level, the more glare that can be blocked.
Many waterfront hotels, including the Caribe Resort in Alabama, a beach-front resort, have successfully offered guests better visual clarity and protection from glare.
Reason Four: Yacht Window Tinting Stops Harmful UV Rays
Exposure to UV rays for large amounts of time can be a big concern for those who spend time out on the water, but yacht window tinting can help block the harmful effects from the sun.
Those out on the water experience double exposure from both the sun and the reflection from the water since surfaces that reflect light also reflect UV rays. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, the higher the UV ray exposure one gets, the higher the chance of developing skin cancer, which is the most common type of cancer in the United States.
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends window film as one of the safeguards against exposure to UV rays. This is because 99.9% of UV light is rejected by 3M’s Exterior Prestige Series film. It’s like putting 1,000 SPF sunblock on the windows of your vessel.
UV rays also are the leading cause of fading furniture and floors. With yacht window tinting, that same sun-blocking power that is protecting your skin is also protecting the interior of your cabin. This means you won’t have to replace furniture and flooring as often.
