Why This Matters
Low-e glass was a major step forward in window efficiency. But it has limits. Low-e retrofit film extends that performance further, adding a second emissivity layer that existing glass lacks.
Near Drake Park in Bend, california's 260+ sunny days per year make solar control film a year-round performance upgrade. This is especially problematic for single-family home installations, which the most common residential application; window film reduces heat gain and protects furnishings.
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
