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 Build-A-Bear Workshop in Rancho Cucamonga, 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 drought-resistant landscaping trend has reduced shade tree coverage in many neighborhoods. Homes that previously relied on mature trees for solar shading are now prime candidates for window film.
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.
