Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right 3M™ Glass Finish for my project?
How durable are 3M™ Glass Finishes?
3M™ Glass Finishes are durable and resistant to fading, peeling, and bubbling when properly installed and maintained. They are designed to withstand typical indoor conditions.
Can 3M™ Glass Finishes be removed?
Yes, 3M™ Glass Finishes are removable. They can be peeled off without leaving any residue on glass surfaces, making them ideal for temporary applications or when updates are needed.
Do 3M™ Glass Finishes require special maintenance?
No special maintenance is required beyond regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the film.
Can 3M™ Glass Finishes be customized?
While the designs and patterns are pre-made, some finishes, like DI-NOC™, can be custom printed to match specific design requirements. Contact us for more details regarding customization options.
What makes the 3M™ DI-NOC™ for Glass Series unique compared to other 3M Glass Finishes?
Unlike other 3M™ Glass Finishes, which may be applied directly to the glass, DI-NOC™ offers enhanced durability and longevity due to its placement behind glass, making it ideal for high-traffic areas or environments where the film may be subjected to abrasion or where a seamless look of greater depth are desired.
How can I avoid a seam on panels wider than 60" ?
If you don’t need your design effect to fully cover the entire glass panel, consider using products like the Single Graduation in the Illumina Series. Since the print runs across the width of the roll, you can install it horizontally instead of vertically, which helps eliminate seams on wider panels.
What do the percentage values in gradations represent?
The percentage values indicate the estimated Visible Light Transmission (VLT) for the most transparent and least transparent sections of the pattern. These values are typical but not guaranteed, as variations may occur based on specific installation conditions and environmental factors.
What are Illumina Seamless and Illumina Silky Gradations?
Roll-up sheet products, such as Illumina Seamless and Illumina Silky Gradations, are provided in single sheets with the print direction running down the length of the sheet, wound on a small roll.
