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 Frontage Betty Drive in Visalia, west-facing windows at low afternoon sun angles drive the highest interior temperature increases. This is especially problematic for single-family home installations, which the most common residential application; window film reduces heat gain and protects furnishings.
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
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.
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.
Non-metallic ceramic particles reject heat without interfering with signals or views.
