Why This Matters
Low-e glass reflects up to 70% of solar energy. When that reflected beam hits artificial turf at the right angle — typically in the afternoon when the sun is lower — surface temperatures can exceed 200°F within minutes.
Near Willamette Jetboat Excursions in Gresham, energy-efficient double-pane glass with low-e coatings can be enhanced further with retrofit film. This is especially problematic for single-family home installations, which the most common residential application; window film reduces heat gain and protects furnishings.
Modern energy codes in this market require high-performance windows in all new construction. This mandate has dramatically increased the prevalence of low-e glass — and with it, the frequency of turf burn complaints.
The Solution
DIY film application is possible for smaller windows, but professional installation is strongly recommended for large picture windows or any window where the reflection path is severe. Improper application leaves bubbles and gaps that reduce effectiveness.
Hybrid films combine ceramic particles with metallic layers for maximum heat rejection. They're the right choice for extreme climates or windows with very high solar exposure.
Reduces glare and diffuses focused solar energy to protect interiors and improve comfort.
