3M Prestige Exterior Window Film

3M Sun Control Window Film

At Meridian Window Tint, we install the 3M Prestige Exterior Window Film for homeowners and businesses in the Boise area who want the performance of the Prestige Series applied to the outside of their glass. Unlike most window films that go on the interior surface, Prestige Exterior is engineered specifically for exterior application, making it a practical solution for windows where interior installation is difficult or not possible. It shares the same non-metalized technology as the standard Prestige Series, which means no corrosion, no signal interference, and no mirror effect. With strong solar heat rejection and 99.9% UV blocking across all variants, it delivers real comfort and energy savings while maintaining the look of your windows.
