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 McLoud Mural in Shawnee, energy-efficient double-pane glass with low-e coatings can be enhanced further with retrofit film. This is especially problematic for single-family home installations, which the most common residential application; window film reduces heat gain and protects furnishings.
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.
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.
Micro-perforated pattern provides one-way privacy and solar control without blocking the view.
