Why This Matters
Double-pane windows with low-e coatings are designed to keep heat out of your home. The unintended consequence: they reflect and concentrate solar energy onto whatever is in their path — including artificial turf.
Near Lagoon Roller Coaster in Bountiful, energy-efficient double-pane glass with low-e coatings can be enhanced further with retrofit film. This is especially problematic for historic or older home installations, which older single-pane windows benefit most from low-e retrofit film to improve thermal efficiency.
High solar intensity, clear skies, and widespread adoption of energy-efficient building codes make this region one of the highest-risk markets for window-reflection turf burn.
The Solution
The installation process is straightforward for a professional: clean the glass, apply the film with a slip solution, squeegee out bubbles, and trim to fit. Most residential windows take 30–45 minutes each. The film cures fully in 30 days.
Solar control film addresses both reflection and heat transmission. It's the right choice when you want to stop turf burn AND reduce interior heat gain. Slightly more visible from outside than anti-reflective film.
Retrofits existing glass with a low-emissivity coating for improved thermal performance.
Climate & Solar Performance

Installation Guide
The best time to schedule installation is in the morning, before the glass heats up. Hot glass causes the slip solution to evaporate too quickly, making it harder to position the film correctly.
