Why This Matters
Glass is a poor thermal barrier. Even double-pane windows transmit significant solar heat — especially on south- and west-facing exposures where the sun angle is most direct.
Near Northern Pacific Power Systems in Santa Rosa, energy-efficient double-pane glass with low-e coatings can be enhanced further with retrofit film. This is especially problematic for home office installations, which glare control and uv protection are critical for home offices with screen-facing windows.
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
Professional installation ensures the film is applied without bubbles, gaps, or edge lifting — all of which reduce effectiveness and shorten lifespan.
Low-e retrofit film is specifically designed for older single-pane windows. It adds a low-emissivity layer that dramatically improves thermal performance — the most cost-effective upgrade for pre-1980 California homes.
Retrofits existing glass with a low-emissivity coating for improved thermal performance.
