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 Salinas Regional Soccer Complex in Salinas, energy-efficient double-pane glass with low-e coatings can be enhanced further with retrofit film. This is especially problematic for home office installations, which glare control and uv protection are critical for home offices with screen-facing windows.
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.
Anti-reflective film is the most targeted solution for glare: it reduces peak window luminance without significantly cutting total light transmission. Best for rooms where screen visibility is the primary concern.
Retrofits existing glass with a low-emissivity coating for improved thermal performance.
