3.1 EXAMINATION

A. Film Examination:

1. If preparation of glass surfaces is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect in writing of deviations from manufacturer's recommended installation tolerances and conditions.

a. Glass surfaces receiving new film should first be examined to verify that they are free from defects and imperfections, which will affect the final appearance.

2. Do not proceed with installation until glass surfaces have been properly prepared and deviations from manufacturer's recommended tolerances are corrected. Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result under the project conditions.

3. Commencement of installation constitutes acceptance of conditions.

B. Impact Protection Attachment Sealant Examination:

1. If application of window film is/was the responsibility of another installer, notification in writing shall be made of deviations from manufacturer's recommended installation tolerances and conditions.

2. Filmed glass surfaces receiving new attachment should first be examined to verify that they are free from defects and imperfections, and that the film edges extend sufficiently to the frame edges.

3. Do not proceed with installation until film and frame surfaces have been properly prepared and deviations from manufacturer's recommended tolerances are corrected.

Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result under the project conditions.

4. Upon the customer's request, an adhesion test to the frame surface may be conducted by applying a 4 - 6 inch long bead, approximately 0.5 - 1 inch in width, masking one side of the frame surface underneath the strip with tape. Allow the Impact Protection Adhesive to cure for 7 days and test adhesion by pulling up on the masked end and a 90 degree angle. If cohesive failure is observed (adhesive residue left behind on the frame surface), adhesion is acceptable; if adhesive failure is observed (clean peel from the frame), adhesion is unacceptable and product is not recommended.

3.2 PREPARATION

A. Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.

B. Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.

C. Refer to Manufacturer's installation instructions for methods of preparation for Impact Protection Adhesive or Impact Protection Profile film attachment systems.

Instruction Bulletins"), the following terms and conditions shall govern.

A. Scope of Warranty

• This Warranty Bulletin supersedes and replaces all prior Warranty Bulletins or 3M Product and Instruction Bulletins with respect to the warranties set forth in this Warranty Bulletin.

• This Warranty Bulletin applies to 3M Window Films and 3M IPA sold globally unless different terms and conditions are published in writing by a local 3M entity outside the United States.

• The warranties and remedies described in this Warranty Bulletin are made only to Purchaser and do not obligate 3M to any other person or entity. These warranties do not transfer to subsequent owners or tenants of buildings to which the 3M Window Film and/or 3M IPA was applied.

B. Warranty Exclusions and Limitations The following exclusions and limitations are in addition to those specific warranty exclusions referenced in this Warranty Bulletin or any individual 3M Window Film and/or 3M IPA Product or Instruction Bulletin.

• Misuse. 3M has no warranty obligations with respect to any 3M Window Film or 3M IPA that has been modified, damaged, or otherwise affected by misuse, abuse, accident, neglect, acts of God, vandalism, or mishandling by anyone other than 3M or the 3M Authorized Window Film Dealer.

• Failure to Follow Product Care and Maintenance Guidelines. All warranty coverage is contingent upon the installed 3M Window Film and/or 3M IPA being maintained in accordance with all Seller guidelines and instructions for care and maintenance including, but not limited to, the “Guidelines for 3M™ Window Film Inspections, Cleaning and Maintenance” found at the end of this Warranty Bulletin. Failure to follow such guidelines and instructions will void all 3M Window Film and 3M IPA warranties, if applicable. DO NOT WASH newly installed windows for thirty (30) days to allow adhesion to build.

• Required 3M IPA Combinations. For warranty coverage, 3M™Scotchshield Safety & Security Window Films and 3M™ Scotchshield™ Security Window Film S2400 must be installed with the 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment (IPA) Sealant for the following applications: all windstorm, break & entry, and blast mitigation applications and for all spontaneous glass breakage applications on single pane tempered glass. The sealant is recommended for certain other spontaneous glass breakage, safety glazing, and seismic applications. Always consult with your 3M Authorized Window Film Dealer for appropriate sealant guidance.

• Applications to Non-Flat Glass Surfaces. 3M Window Films are only designed for application to flat glass.

Please refer to the Warranty Matrix.

• Spliced Film. Purchasers may have certain flat glass applications in which the framing structure of the window or door may require the 3M Authorized Window Film Dealer to splice the 3M Window Film prior to application. Spliced 3M Window Film may not meet 3M Specifications and 3M does not warrant the performance of any 3M Window Films on flat glass applications with splices.

• Use of Non-3M Products. The substitution of non-3M products by Purchaser (film or attachment sealant) invalidates warranty coverage.

• Abrasion Damage. 3M does not warrant against damage to the surface of the installed 3M Window Film and/or 3M IPA caused by natural, manual, or mechanical forces including, but not limited to, pressure washing, the use of brushes, brushing from tree branches, and sandstorms.

• Acid Rain/Acid Dew Related Failures. 3M does not warrant against defects, failures, or losses caused by, arising from, or related to acid rain or acid dew on Installed 3M Fim and 3M IPA.

• Pre-Installation Inspections. In certain instances, certain pre-installation inspections may be conducted by 3M and/or the 3M Authorized Window Film Dealer to document glazing conditions and other installation parameters. Completion of pre-installation inspection records, however, do not constitute a warranty or guarantee warranty coverage.

• Performance Failures Due to Certain Acts of God. Warranty coverage will be voided if the 3M Window Film is exposed to certain Acts of God including, but not limited to, movement of the building structure that impacts glazing, floods or exposure to high moisture environments not typical for a building structure, fire, windstorms that impact glazing, or similar occurrences which alter the physical properties of the 3M Window Film.

• Removal of 3M Window Film and/or 3M IPA. The warranties set forth in this Warranty Bulletin are voided upon removal of the 3M Window Film and/or 3M IPA for any reason other than replacement of product by a 3M Authorized Window Film Dealer for any product found not to conform to the warranties in this Warranty Bulletin.

C. Inspection, Cleaning and Maintenance 3M recommends that Purchaser inspect the Installed Window Film Application after installation and promptly notify the 3M Authorized Window Film Dealer if any installation concerns are observed. IMPORTANT: Installed Window Film Applications typically take thirty (30) days or longer to fully cure, i.e., for the liquid solution used in applying the 3M Window Film to fully evaporate. 3M recommends that Purchaser wait a minimum of ninety (90) days prior to reporting any adhesion or optical appearance issues to allow for a full cure. Curing periods vary depending on environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and sunlight exposure.

IMPORTANT PRODUCT AND APPLICATION LIMITATIONS: Many factors can contribute to potential hazards and damages arising from wind, impact, seismic, explosion, or break and entry incidents, including the window film selected, type and thickness of glass, building construction, exterior pressure, proximity of impact occurrence, quality of window or door frames, intruder size and strength, and type of tools used to gain entry. Certain 3M™ Window Films require the use of 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment (IPA) Sealant on glass window and door frames for windstorm, break & entry, and explosion mitigation applications and for spontaneous glass breakage applications on single pane tempered glass. The sealant may also be recommended for certain other spontaneous glass breakage, safety glazing, and seismic applications. Always refer to the 3M Technical Data Sheets and 3M Technical Specifications to determine whether these combinations are required. CAUTION: While 3M™ Window Films, when applied in accordance with 3M instructions, may help reduce the impact of flying glass shards under certain conditions and potentially delay intruders, these films do not prevent property damage, personal injury, or death. CAUTION: Window films are not bulletproof and not designed to stop intruders. Always consult with security professionals and a 3M Authorized Window Film Dealer prior to selecting any window films to determine suitability for the intended application.

IMPORTANT STATE OF FLORIDA NOTICE: 3M Window Films are not approved in the State of Florida for use as hurricane, windstorm, or impact protection from wind-borne debris from a hurricane or windstorm. In compliance with Florida Statute 553.842, 3M Window Films may not be advertised, sold, offered, provided, distributed, or marketed in the State of Florida as hurricane, windstorm, or impact protection from wind-borne debris from a hurricane or windstorm.

Guidelines for 3M™ Window Film Inspections, Cleaning, and Maintenance

DO NOT WASH newly installed windows for 30 days after installation to allow adhesion to build.

The use of the following decal is recommended in conspicuous locations to serve as a reminder to not wash windows for the specified period. Consult your 3M Authorized Window Film Dealer for the recommended date to insert on this decal, which will vary based on several factors including, but not limited to, film type, interior or exterior application, and environmental conditions. Do not adhere decal to filmed glass.

Visual Inspection Guidelines for 3M Window Films

Flat glass with applied 3M Window Film is not expected to have the same visual quality as glass alone. Below are criteria for evaluating the applied window film.

When to View 3M recommends that Purchaser inspect the Installed Window Film Application after installation and promptly notify the 3M Authorized Window Film Dealer if any installation concerns are observed.

IMPORTANT: Since 3M Window Films are applied with a detergent and water solution, the Purchaser should allow enough time for the solution to dry out. While an initial indication of quality can be assessed a day after installation, there will still be water present under the film that can cause visual distortion. Installed Window Film Applications typically take thirty (30) days or longer to fully cure, i.e., for the liquid solution used in applying the 3M Window Film to fully evaporate. 3M recommends that Purchaser wait a minimum of ninety (90) days prior to reporting any adhesion or optical appearance issues to allow for a full cure. Curing periods vary depending on environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and sunlight exposure. Thicker films and films with a metallic layer can require substantially longer to completely dry. In addition, water bubbles can take more than thirty (30) days.

How to View

The glass and film should be viewed from a distance of 10 feet, at angles up to 45 degrees from either side of the glass. Natural daylight is best for viewing instead of bright, direct sunlight. Be sure that the inside and outside of the window surfaces are clean.

Visual Clarity

Note that visual clarity may vary depending on several factors. 3M Window Film installation should be performed only after all other construction trades have completed work. You should provide a clean and dust-free work area when the films are installed, paying attention to ventilation systems which may deposit contamination from other work areas. Good installation will minimize contamination so that it is not obtrusive to the viewer.

Examples (and sources) of visible defects are:

• Dirt, debris, hair, and fiber particles (contamination)

• Adhesive gels, film color variation (product)

• Fingerprints, air bubbles, scratches, tears, large gaps, and creases (application)

Some level of contamination near the edges of the film is difficult to avoid and can be expected. Some particles are acceptable where poor frame condition makes contamination unpreventable. Similarly, applications of exterior window films have numerous sources of uncontrolled debris and may require acceptance of lessened optical clarify.

Visible gaps between the film and the frame in applications in which 3M IPA has not been applied should be expected and are typically 1/32 to 1/16 inch (1-2mm). For thicker safety films, gaps may be as wide as 1/8 inch (3mm).

Splices Customers may find film splices objectionable, but they are required when both dimensions of the glass are larger than the largest width available for the 3M Window Film. A butt splice is recommended for 3M Window Film instead of an overlap splice.

If splices are necessary for the application of non-3M Safety & Security Window Film, the splice may be located in a less visible area of the glass. If splices are necessary for the application of 3M™ Safety & Security Window Film, the splice should be in a location where impact is less likely (for example, up high for break & entry applications). Customers may find this strip objectionable and will need to determine the risk/benefit of not applying the strip.

3M IPA Applications. For installations in which 3M IPA is applied, customer should expect a large triangular bead between the edges of the glass and the glass frame. The 3M IPA sealant is hand-applied, similar to a caulk, and will have a non-uniform appearance.

General Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions

Failure to comply with the following cleaning and maintenance instructions could damage the 3M Window Film and/or reduce its performance properties. Damage caused to the 3M Window Film by you after installation is not covered under warranty.

Instructions

• To help prevent scratching of the 3M Window Film, do not use knives, scrapers, brushes, or any abrasive cleaners or cleaning materials on the window.

• Do not rub vigorously or apply heavy pressure to the filmed window.

• Do not affix tapes, suction cups, stickers, or other materials or objects to the film surface.

• Removal and replacement of window grids could cause damage and/or reduce the performance properties of the film.
