Window Film Needs for This Home Type
Sunrooms and enclosed patios are often the hottest rooms in the house in summer. Solar film on sunroom glass can reduce temperatures by 10–15°F — making these spaces usable year-round without expensive HVAC additions.
Inland residential markets experience some of the highest solar irradiance in the country. Window film is one of the most cost-effective ways to manage that heat load without replacing windows or oversizing AC equipment.
How Solar Control Window Film Works
Solar control film is available in a range of visible light transmission (VLT) levels — from lightly tinted (70% VLT) to higher-performance films (15–35% VLT). The right level depends on your home's daylighting goals, room use, and how much heat you need to block.
UV protection film is clear or nearly clear — it blocks 99% of UV rays without changing the look of your windows. It's the right choice when fading protection is the priority and you don't want any tint.
