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.
Homes across the U.S. face a common challenge: summer heat through windows makes rooms uncomfortable, drives up energy bills, and fades floors and furniture. Window film is the fastest, most cost-effective solution — no window replacement required.
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.
