3M's Exterior Prestige Series Window Films work to diminish the transmission of the sun's incident energy through the glass pane by increasing reflection and absorption. The absorbed energy includes a portion of the sun's longwave infrared (IR) before reaching the Low-E coating, redirecting it back outside. Additionally, these window films reduce the intensity of concentrated energy reflected from the curvature of the window, though not entirely eliminating it.

While 3M's Exterior Prestige Window Films have proven effective in mitigating or preventing damage caused by Low-E windows and curved glass, the suitability of this solution depends on various factors, as outlined above. It's important to note that the complete elimination or reduction of damage is not guaranteed and contingent on the specifics of each unique situation.
