Up to 95% IR Rejection

3M Ceramic IR uses nano-ceramic particle technology to block up to 95% of infrared heat energy entering your vehicle.

Non-Metallic Ceramic

Contains zero metals — your GPS, Bluetooth, satellite radio, and cell signals pass through without any disruption.

Low Interior Reflectivity

Maintains excellent nighttime visibility with low reflectivity on the interior surface — critical during Calgary's long winter nights.

3M Manufacturer Warranty

Every installation is backed by a comprehensive 3M manufacturer warranty covering bubbling, peeling, cracking, and discolouration.

What Is 3M Ceramic IR Window Tint?

3M Ceramic IR is the mid-tier ceramic window film in 3M’s automotive lineup, positioned between the entry-level Colour Stable series and the premium Crystalline series. It uses nano-ceramic particles rather than dyes, carbon, or metals to achieve heat rejection — which means it won’t fade purple over time and won’t interfere with electronic signals.

Ceramic IR is the most popular choice among our Calgary customers because it offers the best balance of performance and value. It rejects significantly more heat than the carbon-based Colour Stable while costing less than Crystalline. For most Calgary drivers dealing with intense summer sun on their commute along Deerfoot Trail or Stoney Trail, Ceramic IR provides more than enough heat rejection to keep the cabin comfortable.

3M Ceramic IR Performance Specifications

Shade	VLT	IR Rejection	UV Rejection	TSER
IRN 70	73%	95%	99.9%	59%
IRN 60	62%	95%	99.9%	62%
IRN 50	46%	95%	99.9%	59%
IRN 40	38%	95%	99.9%	62%
IRN 20	15%	95%	99.9%	66%

VLT (Visible Light Transmission) = how much light passes through the film. Lower numbers mean darker tint. IR Rejection = infrared heat energy blocked. UV Rejection = ultraviolet radiation blocked. TSER = Total Solar Energy Rejected, the single best metric for overall heat performance.

Ceramic IR vs. Crystalline vs. Colour Stable

3M makes three automotive window film lines. Here’s how they compare:

Colour Stable (Carbon-Based) — The entry point. Uses non-metallic carbon technology. Blocks moderate heat and 99% UV. Best for drivers who primarily want privacy and UV protection without a significant investment. Will not fade to purple like cheap dyed films. Learn more about Colour Stable.

Ceramic IR (You Are Here) — The best value. Nano-ceramic particles reject up to 95% of infrared energy. Noticeably cooler cabin than Colour Stable, especially in direct sun. Zero signal interference. This is the most-installed film at our shop.

Crystalline (Premium) — 3M’s flagship. Proprietary 200+ layer nano-technology rejects up to 97% of IR heat. Offers the highest optical clarity of any film on the market. Available in very light shades that reject extreme heat while maintaining a near-factory glass appearance. Learn more about Crystalline.

I had a great experience. Very knowledgeable staff, flexible and thorough in their work. Clean place with the lowest prices in town. Best part for me was the drive in service and being done in a couple of hours!

Everyone that works here is top notch. From the owner to the manager to the guys doing the work. They were honest and went well above what they were obligated to do.

The level of finishing and the pricing was exceptional. I cannot recommend them enough. Very clean and professional.

I appreciated the prompt service. All the work was done in 4 hours (paint protection and all 7 windows tinted) everything looks great and the price is lower than other quotes I got in town.

These guys are great I will be back to get my other vehicle done by this company. Highly recommend!

Caleb and his crew were recommended by a friend. Very professional place where the service was top notch. Their attention to detail is great, especially on hard vehicles.

I have had 2 vehicles done here already and I will get my truck re-done by these guys as well. I've had work done elsewhere, and now there's really only one place to trust your vehicle to get work done.

Great service and much cheaper than the dealer was asking. Booked my appointment online and had my car in the next morning for a window tint job.

They even drove me to work and picked me up at the end of the day when my car was ready. Highly recommend these guys!

I had a really positive experience with Calgary Pro-Window Tinting. I found their website easy to navigate and Caleb was responsive when I called with questions.

They got me in fast and were accommodating when I needed to change my appointment due to weather. The workmanship is very good and I am happy with the result. Their pricing was competitive and I appreciated the included loaner vehicle. I have no hesitation in recommending them for those interested in 3M.
