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 Barnett Mailer Building in Santa Rosa, south- and west-facing windows receive the most direct solar load and benefit most from 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 combination of high solar intensity, clear skies, and mild winters makes residential window film a year-round performance upgrade — not just a summer fix.
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.
Blocks high-heat solar wavelengths to reduce interior temperatures and UV exposure.
