Why This Matters
Glare is caused by the high luminance contrast between a bright window and the surrounding wall. Window film reduces that contrast by cutting the peak luminance without eliminating natural light.
Near West Coast University - Orange County, California in Anaheim, california's 260+ sunny days per year make solar control film a year-round performance upgrade. This is especially problematic for multi-family residence installations, which condos and apartment buildings benefit from film to reduce hvac load and improve tenant comfort.
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
Window film works in both directions: it reduces solar heat gain in summer and helps retain interior heat in winter — making it a year-round performance upgrade.
Low-e retrofit film is specifically designed for older single-pane windows. It adds a low-emissivity layer that dramatically improves thermal performance — the most cost-effective upgrade for pre-1980 California homes.
Blocks high-heat solar wavelengths to reduce interior temperatures and UV exposure.
