3M Dichroic Glass Finishes
Value Engineered
Yet the technology that makes color change possible ultimately makes dichroic glass cost prohibitive. Enter 3M Dichroic Glass Finishes.
3M’s value-engineered dichroic film installed on clear glass (new or existing, inside or outside) duplicates the look of dichroic glass at a fraction of the price of the real thing – usually 10% ($15 PSF of film vs. $150 PSF of glass). That spells significant cost savings and resources left over to devote to other areas of a project.
3M manufactures two different dichroic films that are warrantied for up to seven (7) years*.
DF-PA Blaze: Simulates dichroic glass by shifting colors in the warm tones of cyan/blue/magenta and red/gold color regions of the spectrum.
DF-PA Chill: Simulates dichroic glass by shifting colors in the cool tones of blue/magenta/yellow and gold/blue color regions of the spectrum.
Apply to nearly any glass surface. Common installation sites include:
