Less Heat. More Comfort.
Solar control window film can help reduce the solar heat that pours through sun-exposed glass, so warm rooms feel more comfortable through a Sacramento summer.
Heat Reduction Window Film
Rooms That Heat Up in the Afternoon
Sacramento summers are long and bright. West-facing living rooms, upstairs bedrooms and rooms with big sliders can heat up fast once the afternoon sun hits the glass.
Solar control films are designed to reduce the heat that sunlight carries through your windows. How much difference you'll notice depends on the film, your glass and the direction the window faces. We'll walk you through the manufacturer's performance details for each option.
What it can help with
- Cooler sun-facing rooms. Help reduce solar heat gain in the rooms that catch the most sun.
- More even comfort. Help ease the hot spots that make one side of the house hard to use.
- Keep your view. Many solar control films are designed to keep your outlook clear.
- Less glare too. Films that reduce heat often reduce glare as well.
Results depend on the film and the window
We don't quote blanket percentages or energy savings, because real results vary with the film, your existing glass and how the window is positioned. We'll share the product specifications for the films we recommend so you can choose with confidence.

FAQs
Common Questions
Does window tint help reduce heat?
Solar control window films are designed to reduce the amount of solar heat that comes through sun-exposed glass. How much difference you notice depends on the film, your glass and which way the window faces. We'll walk you through the manufacturer's performance details for any film we recommend.
Does residential window tint make my home darker?
It depends on the film. Lighter films let most of the daylight through and are hard to notice from inside. Darker and more reflective privacy films reduce more light, which some rooms welcome and others don't.
We'll help you find the balance between privacy, light and view for each room, so you aren't trading one problem for another.
Can window tint be installed on existing windows?
In most cases, yes. Window film is applied to the glass you already have. Whether a particular film is a good fit depends on your glass type, such as dual-pane, Low-E or tempered, plus its age and condition. We check that the film and the glass are compatible before recommending anything.
