Why This Matters
Modern energy-efficient windows use a low-emissivity (low-e) coating that reflects solar energy. When the glass is slightly concave — common in double-pane units — it focuses that reflected energy into a concentrated hot spot.
Near Target in South Jordan, west-facing windows at low afternoon sun angles drive the highest interior temperature increases. This is especially problematic for home office installations, which glare control and uv protection are critical for home offices with screen-facing windows.
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
Low-e retrofit films are the most targeted solution for the most common cause. They add a secondary low-emissivity layer to existing glass that changes the reflection angle and reduces the reflective intensity below the damage threshold.
Low-e retrofit film is specifically designed to address the low-e glass reflection problem. It modifies the reflective properties of existing glass without replacement — the most cost-effective solution for new construction.
Retrofits existing glass with a low-emissivity coating for improved thermal performance.
Climate & Solar Performance
Properties near Target in Little Cottonwood Creek Valley, South Jordan experience afternoon heat gain conditions that make window film particularly effective. Low-E Retrofit Window Film is specifically engineered to address this solar exposure.
