Why This Matters
Low-e glass was a major step forward in window efficiency. But it has limits. Low-e retrofit film extends that performance further, adding a second emissivity layer that existing glass lacks.
Near Hyatt House Boulder/Broomfield in Boulder, south- and west-facing windows receive the most direct solar load and benefit most from film. This is especially problematic for home office installations, which glare control and uv protection are critical for home offices with screen-facing windows.
Inland California cities experience some of the highest solar irradiance in the country. Combined with older single-pane window stock, this creates strong demand for low-e retrofit and solar control films.
The Solution
Most residential window film installations are completed in a single day. The film cures fully within 30 days, after which performance is at its rated specification.
Solar control film addresses both heat gain and glare. It's the right choice when you want to reduce cooling costs AND improve comfort. Slightly more visible from outside than anti-reflective film.
Retrofits existing glass with a low-emissivity coating for improved thermal performance.
