Why This Matters
Solar control film works across the full solar spectrum — blocking near-infrared heat, visible light glare, and UV radiation simultaneously. No other window treatment addresses all three.
Near Bastanchury Park in Anaheim, california's 260+ sunny days per year make solar control film a year-round performance upgrade. 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 Title 24 energy code sets minimum window performance standards for new construction. Window film can bring older homes up to — and beyond — those standards at a fraction of the cost of window replacement.
The Solution
The right film for your home depends on three factors: window orientation, glass type, and what you're primarily trying to solve. A qualified installer can assess all three in a single visit.
Low-e retrofit film is specifically designed for older single-pane windows. It adds a low-emissivity layer that dramatically improves thermal performance — the most cost-effective upgrade for pre-1980 California homes.
Retrofits existing glass with a low-emissivity coating for improved thermal performance.
