Solar Window Films
Solar control film is the cheapest energy retrofit in the building. No new glass, no construction, and it counts toward the efficiency targets Santa Monica keeps tightening.

The Retrofit
That Pays For Itself
Replacing single-pane or clear glazing with high-performance units is a construction project with a construction budget and a permit timeline. Solar film delivers a large share of the same performance for a fraction of the cost, installed from the inside, overnight, with no scaffolding and no permit.
That matters more here than in most cities. Santa Monica has been one of the more aggressive municipalities in California on building energy performance, and older commercial stock along Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevard was not built with that in mind. Film is often the only envelope improvement available to a tenant who doesn't own the building.

What Sets Us Apart
Why Businesses Choose
Window Films of Santa Monica
Targeted Rejection
Spectrally selective products strip out the infrared and leave the daylight, and the water, alone.
Fast Payback
A long cooling season and high commercial rates put typical payback inside a few years on the Westside.
Greener Building
Reduced HVAC load cuts consumption without replacing a single pane of otherwise perfectly good glass.
Documented Performance
Published solar heat gain, light transmission, and infrared figures, ready to hand to a landlord or consultant.

How It Works
Energy Assessment
We survey glazing, orientation, and current performance, then flag the highest-return elevations first.
