3M Fasara Decorative Films

Value Engineered


Versatile – Replaceable – Cleanable – Polyester

Whoever said that glass needs to be clear and colorless wasn’t aware of 3M Fasara Decorative Films.

Available in over 100 pre-printed flavors, these aesthetically pleasing polyester films allow you to express your creativity by transforming glass into what you never imagined possible. You can create privacy, redirect light, and add a visually appealing look to otherwise clear glass.

Typically, glass privacy and design are achieved by sandblasting or etching. 3M Fasara polyester films are a value engineered alternative to this process, often being less than 1/3 of the cost. Fasara can be applied to most any new or existing, glass (interior or exterior) surface and requires no added maintenance or special cleaning. And because Fasara can be removed when desired, a new Fasara pattern can be installed allowing continuous modernization and evolution of the space.

Apply to nearly any glass surface. Common installation sites include:

Entrances
Image
Doors
Image
Ceilings
Image
Balconies
Image
Windows
Image
Staircases
Image
Partitions
Image
Corridors

LEEDv4 Credits

3M Fasara Glass Finishes are a component of LEED Sustainable Design. Here are some options for obtaining LEED credits. (Please note that each application is different. It is the sole responsibility of the end-user to evaluate and determine whether LEED credits can be acquired.)

3M Fasara Glass Finishes are similar to 3M Dusted and Frosted Crystal Finishes in many ways yet are also different.

Here is a side-by-side comparison to help you decide which product is appropriate for your application.

3M Fasara 3M Crystal Finishes
Manufacturer 3M Company 3M Company
Country of Manufacture Japan USA
Number of Patterns 100+ 2

Besides the significantly greater number of patterns and shorter warranty term, 3M Fasara films are polyester whereas 3M Dusted and Frosted Crystals are vinyl. The general differences between polyester and vinyl films are:

  • Polyester is easier than vinyl to handle and install
  • Vinyl is thinner, more stretchable, and easier to tear than polyester
  • Vinyl may require more installers than polyester to manage and position the film
  • While vinyl can be removed, it is more difficult than polyester to remove
  • Vinyl is easier than polyester to computer cut into various designs
