3M Architectural Markets
Overview: At 3M Architectural Markets, our watchwords are Innovate, Inspire and Inform. We are all about innovating beautiful yet practical products that meet the diverse needs of designers, architects, building owners and operators, contractors and other professionals. We seek to inspire all of these stakeholders to create attractive, dynamic, enduring exteriors and interiors using materials that are as environmentally friendly as possible. And behind it all, 3M supports our customers with the information and technology they need to achieve their desired vision. Our 3M&153; DI-NOC&153; Architectural Finishes mimic the aesthetics of natural and other materials at a fraction of the price. 3M&@`53; Fasara™ Glass Finishes & Crystal Glass Finishes provide the look, privacy and translucency of etched, sandblasted or otherwise textured glass – at a price point that makes it an attractive alternative to etched and sandblasted glass. And when it comes to lighting, in the future 3M™ Lighting Solutions will be on the leading edge when it comes to energy savings, safety, ease of installation and, above all, exciting, cutting-edge aesthetics. If we can help or support you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact us.
For renovations: Lightweight and self-adhering‚ DI-NOC architectural finishes can be applied in situ to the existing substrate‚ reducing labor and material cost compared to natural materials. With DI-NOC products‚ you create a whole new look‚ quickly and inexpensively. But not at the expense of aesthetics‚ thanks to its uncanny resemblance to natural materials. For new construction: Perhaps you prefer the authenticity of real wood‚ metal or stone. That’s only natural. Use them for select areas. Specify DI-NOC architectural finishes everywhere else. You’ll get cost savings‚ speed of application‚ durability – and still maintain the aesthetic look you desire. 
Easy application: 3M Comply™ Adhesive Technology is repositionable and virtually eliminates bubbles‚ simplifying and speeding application. And now‚ new 3M Wall Panels come with our DI-NOC finish pre-applied‚ and goes up using standard z-bar or z-clip attachment mechanisms‚ saving even more time in the field.
[ - ] Decorative Glass Finishes
Flexible: Fasara™ Glass Finishes allow you to tailor the amount of privacy a space possesses. Use Fasara glass finishes monolithically to create serene "ricepaper wall" effects, or die-cut or layer the films to create exciting, dynamic effects. Easy application: 3M expertise in adhesives ensures you of fast, accurate, beautiful and durable application to a variety of glass substrates. Materials: Constructed from durable and flexible polyester materials.
These permanent, pressure-sensitive films have a transparent synthetic liner for easy cutting. They are available in a dusted crystal finish in translucent white (2 mil) or translucent frosted crystal finish (3.8 mil) in five colors.

Aesthetics: With 3M™ Custom Formed Reflectors, you’ll see up to a 30% brighter output. You design the light to go exactly where you want it – and you can trust that the true color will be reflected. Flexibility: Each reflector is custom-designed to your specifications for a variety of light control options. Their free-form optical design provides highly efficient reflectors that allow you to use indirect lighting to cut down on glare.
Our proprietary, polymeric "mirror" film provides more than 99% luminous reflectivity and transports sunlight in both vertical and horizontal paths. This unique technology keeps brightness strong through multiple reflections and enables sunlight to penetrate deep into a building’s interior, from the top floors to the lowest levels. The system is designed to reduce energy consumption and minimize heat gain and loss. It minimizes glare and eliminates the type of "hot spots" caused by direct sunlight through a window or skylight.
Delivers the same amount of light up to 250%* farther The physics of light transfer efficiency (LTE) mean that even a seemingly small increase in specular reflectivity - even just 2% more – enables daylight to travel much farther down a tube with less light loss. 3M specular film on metal allows equal light levels to travel up to 250% farther versus silver coated reflective aluminum. Based on a 10" diameter x 10' in length light tube with an incidence sun angle of 25 degrees from the horizon. [ - ] Resources Last Update: 2013-04-04
