Why This Matters
Low-e glass was a major step forward in window efficiency. But it has limits. Low-e retrofit film extends that performance further, adding a second emissivity layer that existing glass lacks.
Near Lark Hall in Santa Rosa, south- and west-facing windows receive the most direct solar load and benefit most from film. 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.
Inland California cities experience some of the highest solar irradiance in the country. Combined with older single-pane window stock, this creates strong demand for low-e retrofit and solar control films.
The Solution
Most residential window film installations are completed in a single day. The film cures fully within 30 days, after which performance is at its rated specification.
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.
Retrofits existing glass with a low-emissivity coating for improved thermal performance.
