3M’s proprietary multi-layer optical film uses over 200 layers of nano-technology to selectively filter heat-causing infrared light.

Non-Metallic Construction

Will not interfere with GPS, mobile phones, satellite radio, or tire pressure monitoring systems. No signal disruption whatsoever.

Lifetime Warranty

Backed by 3M’s comprehensive manufacturer warranty. As a certified 3M installer, we guarantee the film and the installation.

What Makes 3M Crystalline Different

3M Crystalline is the most technologically advanced automotive window film available today. Unlike conventional dyed or metalized films, Crystalline uses a proprietary multi-layer nano-technology that stacks over 200 individual layers into a film thinner than a sticky note.

Each of those layers is precisely tuned to reject specific wavelengths of infrared radiation — the part of the solar spectrum responsible for heat. The result is a film that blocks up to 97% of infrared energy and up to 60% of total solar energy coming through your windows, while maintaining a virtually clear appearance.

This means you can choose a 90% VLT (visible light transmission) shade that looks nearly invisible on your glass and still get dramatically better heat rejection than a conventional dark 5% dyed film. For drivers who want protection without the dark tinted look, Crystalline is the only option that delivers this combination.

3M Crystalline Performance Specifications

Shade	VLT	IR Rejection	UV Rejection	TSER
CR 90	90%	97%	99.9%	34%
CR 70	70%	97%	99.9%	41%
CR 60	60%	97%	99.9%	46%
CR 50	50%	97%	99.9%	49%
CR 40	40%	97%	99.9%	59%

VLT = Visible Light Transmission (how much light passes through). TSER = Total Solar Energy Rejected (the single best measure of overall heat rejection). IR Rejection = Infrared rejection at 900–1000nm range.

Crystalline vs. Other 3M Window Films

3M offers three automotive window film tiers, and Crystalline sits at the top. Here is how they compare:

3M Colour Stable (Carbon) Series — Uses non-metallic, nano-carbon technology. Provides a consistent dark appearance that will not turn purple over time. Blocks up to 57% of total solar energy and 99% of UV. This is the entry-level choice, best for drivers who want a classic tinted look at an affordable price.

3M Ceramic IR Series — Uses ceramic nano-particle technology with enhanced infrared rejection. Blocks up to 66% of total solar energy and up to 95% of infrared heat. This is the mid-tier option, offering meaningfully better heat rejection than Colour Stable at a moderate price increase.

3M Crystalline Series — The flagship. Uses proprietary 200+ layer nano-technology that achieves up to 97% infrared rejection and 60% total solar energy rejection in the darkest shade. Available in very light tints (90% VLT) that are virtually invisible, making it the only film that can deliver serious heat rejection without changing the appearance of your windows. Best for luxury vehicles, Tesla owners, and anyone who wants maximum protection with a factory-glass look.

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.
