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 Coaches Field in Berkeley, california's 260+ sunny days per year make solar control film a year-round performance upgrade. 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
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.
