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 Legacy of the Plains Museum in Gering, south- and west-facing windows receive the most direct solar load and benefit most from 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
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.
Micro-perforated pattern provides one-way privacy and solar control without blocking the view.
