The Problem
Southern California sun pours through west- and south-facing glass for most of the year, turning living rooms and bedrooms into hot spots by afternoon.
Blinds and drapes block the heat but also the light and view you paid for.
Residential Solar Control
Solar Control Window Film for Los Angeles Homes
Keep the sunlight and the view. Lose the heat, glare, and fading.
Quick Answer
Solar control window film is a thin, professionally installed layer applied to the inside of your existing windows that rejects 40–70% of the sun's heat and blocks 99% of UV rays. Modern ceramic and spectrally selective films stay nearly clear, so rooms feel cooler without looking dark. In Los Angeles, installed cost is typically $5–$12 per square foot, or $1,200–$3,500 for an average home.
Our Solution
We measure every window, check sun exposure, and recommend a film matched to each elevation — clear ceramic for view windows, stronger film for the hottest west glass.
Installation is clean, usually done in one day, and backed by a manufacturer warranty.
Why It Matters in Los Angeles
Inland areas like the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys regularly top 100°F in summer, while coastal homes battle glare off the ocean.
We install solar film from Santa Monica to Pasadena and Santa Clarita to Long Beach.
