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 AMES Tools in Moreno Valley, west-facing windows at low afternoon sun angles drive the highest interior temperature increases. This is especially problematic for home office installations, which glare control and uv protection are critical for home offices with screen-facing windows.
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
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.
