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 Pacific Stihl in Visalia, energy-efficient double-pane glass with low-e coatings can be enhanced further with retrofit film. This is especially problematic for historic or older home installations, which older single-pane windows benefit most from low-e retrofit film to improve thermal efficiency.
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
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.
Hybrid films combine ceramic particles with metallic layers for maximum heat rejection. They're the right choice for extreme solar exposures or homes with very large west-facing glass areas.
Retrofits existing glass with a low-emissivity coating for improved thermal performance.
