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 Bandwagon Park in Orem, west-facing windows at low afternoon sun angles drive the highest interior temperature increases. 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
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.
Anti-reflective film is the most targeted solution for glare: it reduces peak window luminance without significantly cutting total light transmission. Best for rooms where screen visibility is the primary concern.
Retrofits existing glass with a low-emissivity coating for improved thermal performance.
