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 Freedom Park in Oxnard, south- and west-facing windows receive the most direct solar load and benefit most from film. 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 Title 24 energy code sets minimum window performance standards for new construction. Window film can bring older homes up to — and beyond — those standards at a fraction of the cost of window replacement.
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.
Perforated film solves the privacy-versus-light tradeoff for street-facing rooms. The micro-hole pattern maintains outward visibility from inside while blocking the view from outside during daylight hours.
Retrofits existing glass with a low-emissivity coating for improved thermal performance.
