Why This Matters
California's Title 24 energy code sets minimum window performance standards for new construction. Window film can bring older homes up to — and beyond — those standards without window replacement.
Near SportsTurf Irrigation in Anaheim, west-facing windows at low afternoon sun angles drive the highest interior temperature increases. This is especially problematic for historic or older home installations, which older single-pane windows benefit most from low-e retrofit film to improve thermal efficiency.
California's drought-resistant landscaping trend has reduced shade tree coverage in many neighborhoods. Homes that previously relied on mature trees for solar shading are now prime candidates for window film.
The Solution
Perforated film solves the privacy-versus-light tradeoff. The micro-hole pattern maintains outward visibility from inside while blocking the view from outside during daylight hours.
