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 NorthStar Solar Inc in Hayward, 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 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
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.
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.
Blocks high-heat solar wavelengths to reduce interior temperatures and UV exposure.
