During winter, you may be tempted to think solar films are useless; however, that is the exact opposite of reality. Here in Beverly Hills, we encounter some of the fiercest sunlight during these colder months. In particular, any southern-facing windows can become unbearably warm on even very cold days! Not only that but all this intense light and UV rays also cause a glare issue for furniture inside your home as well. To combat both these issues adequately–investing in solar films is essential.

Window Film Solutions for Winter Glare and More

For those looking to manage the sun and conserve energy, solar window films are the perfect solution. Not only do they guard against excessive sunlight and glare through your windows, but also help reduce heat loss due to their insulating properties! However, how effective this film ultimately depends upon several factors: its quality as well as the expertise of its installer.

With decades of experience installing solar films, you can trust that the ones we install for you will be highly effective in achieving their intended purpose. We guarantee that when you work with us, your solar window film will offer the promised benefits all year round.

How does Solar Window Film Work?

There are several forms of solar window films on the market. Let’s take a look at two of them: Low-E and ceramic window films. Both achieve adequate results in terms of preventing glare from entering your home while keeping heat inside, though they differ in how they perform this feat as well as their overall appearance. Therefore, it is important to understand what each type offers before making a purchase decision so you can select one that best suits your needs!

Low-E Solar Window Film in Beverly Hills 

Low-E window film is designed to combat the portion of the sun’s rays known as ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation. These are the waves that contribute to most heat retention occurring through windows in hot and cold climates. This remarkable technology consists of a thin layer of polyester or select polymer varieties coated with metal materials such as aluminum or titanium, which have reflective properties that deflect UV and IR from glass panes.

Low-E films have a vast array of benefits, from reducing glare to increasing energy efficiency and improving interior comfort. The amount of reflection these films offer depends on their visible light transmission (VLT). Low VLT numbers mean more heat is blocked by the film. But be aware that low VLT also means darker tinted glass – with nearly all Low-E tints blocking 99% regardless of how much solar heat is reflected. Harnessing the capabilities of Low-E film can help keep your home cooler in summer, warmer in winter and reduces yearly energy bills!

Ceramic Window Film For Sun Control in Beverly Hills

Ceramic window films provide homeowners with the same advantages as Low-E films, although they function in disparate ways. Ceramic films are composed of ceramic coating to make them robust and reliable; this is applied onto a thin polyester or polymer film for enhanced performance. These types of films have been designed to keep warmth inside during winter by absorbing interior heat and heating the room instead of allowing it to pass through glass windows.

By forming a barrier to reduce the conduction of heat from outside, ceramic coating on window film is critical in keeping homes cool and comfortable year-round. Its discreet appearance makes it an ideal choice for urban dwellers without sacrificing its efficacy at blocking ultraviolet rays, minimizing furniture and floor fading, as well as decreasing utility bills. Adding either Low-E or Ceramic solar films onto any Beverly Hills home will make your space look great while improving energy efficiency!
