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 Lincoln Park Historic District in Ontario, california's 260+ sunny days per year make solar control film a year-round performance upgrade. This is especially problematic for single-family home installations, which the most common residential application; window film reduces heat gain and protects furnishings.
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
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.
Reduces glare and diffuses focused solar energy to protect interiors and improve comfort.
