Recent Projects Near Hillcrest
Challenge: The property's sun-facing glass absorbed strong Southern California sun, glare, and year-round UV exposure, driving up cooling costs and creating uncomfortable glare for staff and customers, a recurring issue for businesses near Balboa Park.
Film Used: LLumar SelectPro DR 15 ceramic solar control film applied to roughly 1,800 sq ft of glass
Result: Solar heat gain fell sharply, interior temperatures dropped by about 16°F at peak hours, and the owner reported cooling costs down roughly 32%. The film's neutral finish kept the building's exterior appearance unchanged.
Challenge: Large windows let in strong Southern California sun, glare, and year-round UV exposure, fading floors and furniture and making west-facing rooms too hot to use comfortably in the afternoon.
Film Used: LLumar SelectPro AIR 80 ceramic film installed on all sun-exposed windows
Result: UV transmission was cut to under 1%, hot spots were eliminated, and the homeowner regained full use of previously unusable rooms—all while keeping clear views and natural light.
