Solar Window Films

Solar control film is the cheapest energy retrofit in the building, and on a historic structure it's frequently the only envelope improvement that's even permitted.

The Retrofit
That Pays For Itself

Swapping clear or single glazing for high-performance units is building work, priced and scheduled as building work. Film captures much of the same benefit for a small share of the outlay, applied from indoors, overnight, without scaffold or permit.

In Pasadena there's an additional argument that doesn't apply elsewhere. On a landmark or contributing structure, replacing original windows may be restricted, discouraged, or flatly not approvable — which removes the conventional efficiency upgrade from the table entirely. Interior-applied film changes nothing about the exterior appearance and is fully reversible, which is precisely why it tends to be the acceptable option.

What Sets Us Apart

Why Businesses Choose
Window Films of Pasadena

Targeted Rejection

Spectrally selective products remove the infrared and leave the daylight a historic interior depends on.

Fully Reversible

Nothing is altered permanently, which is what makes it viable on landmark and contributing structures.

Greener Building

A lighter load on the plant means lower consumption, and not one sound pane is thrown away.

Documented Performance

Manufacturer figures for solar heat gain, light transmission, and infrared rejection, ready for a consultant or a reviewer.

Our Process

How It Works

01

Energy Assessment

We log the glass, its aspect, and how it performs now, then name the elevation worth doing first.

02

Model The Options

Two or three candidates set against each other on performance, daylight, appearance, and cost.

03

Install

Applied entirely from within — nothing touches the facade, no permit, no pause in operations.

04

Verify & Document

A closing inspection, the documentation pack, and help with rebate or Title 24 submissions.
