Why This Matters
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 without window replacement.
Near Skin Elixir in Ventura, 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.
The California climate — 260+ sunny days per year in most regions — means solar heat gain is a persistent challenge. Window film addresses it at the source, without blocking your view.
The Solution
Perforated film solves the privacy-versus-light tradeoff. The micro-hole pattern maintains outward visibility from inside while blocking the view from outside during daylight hours.
