Why This Matters
UV radiation is responsible for 40–60% of interior fading. It passes through standard glass almost unimpeded — clear glass blocks almost no UV. Window film changes that equation completely.
Near Centennial Park in Everett, south- and west-facing windows receive the most direct solar load and benefit most from film. This is especially problematic for multi-family residence installations, which condos and apartment buildings benefit from film to reduce hvac load and improve tenant comfort.
California's combination of high solar intensity, clear skies, and mild winters makes residential window film a year-round performance upgrade — not just a summer fix.
The Solution
The cost of residential window film installation ranges from $8–$20 per square foot installed, depending on film grade and window complexity. Most homes see full payback within 3–5 years.
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.
Non-metallic ceramic particles reject heat without interfering with signals or views.
