Why This Matters
Low-e coatings on double-pane windows are optimized for winter heat retention. In summer, they still allow significant solar heat gain. Window film corrects this seasonal imbalance.
Near SCERA Center for the Arts in Orem, west-facing windows at low afternoon sun angles drive the highest interior temperature increases. This is especially problematic for multi-family residence installations, which condos and apartment buildings benefit from film to reduce hvac load and improve tenant comfort.
California's drought-resistant landscaping trend has reduced shade tree coverage in many neighborhoods. Homes that previously relied on mature trees for solar shading are now prime candidates for window film.
The Solution
Low-e retrofit film is the most cost-effective upgrade for older single-pane windows. It adds a low-emissivity layer that dramatically improves thermal performance without full window replacement.
Hybrid films combine ceramic particles with metallic layers for maximum heat rejection. They're the right choice for extreme solar exposures or homes with very large west-facing glass areas.
Non-metallic ceramic particles reject heat without interfering with signals or views.
