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 Walter E. Hall Park in Everett, west-facing windows at low afternoon sun angles drive the highest interior temperature increases. 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.
Southern California's Santa Ana wind conditions create periods of exceptionally clear, dry air that amplify solar intensity. During these events, unfilmed windows can drive interior temperatures 15–20°F above set point.
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.
Solar control film addresses both heat gain and glare. It's the right choice when you want to reduce cooling costs AND improve comfort. Slightly more visible from outside than anti-reflective film.
Blocks high-heat solar wavelengths to reduce interior temperatures and UV exposure.
