Is Your Room Too Hot?
One Room Always Too Hot From the Sun?
Window film blocks up to 97% of solar heat without blocking your view. Cool that hot room without replacing your windows or running AC non-stop.
The Problem
Why Is One Room So Much Hotter?
South or West-Facing Windows
Rooms facing these directions receive intense afternoon sun, causing temperatures to spike.
Large Window Area
More glass means more solar heat gain. Picture windows and sliding doors are heat magnets.
Single-Pane or Older Windows
Older windows transfer more heat. But even new dual-pane windows let significant solar heat through.
Poor Shade or Landscaping
No trees or overhangs leave windows fully exposed to direct sunlight for hours.

Common Questions
Hot Room FAQ
Why is one room always hotter than the rest of my house?
Sun-facing windows create 'hot spots' by letting solar heat pour into specific rooms. South and west-facing rooms receive the most intense afternoon sun. Even with AC running, these rooms can be 10-15°F warmer than the rest of your home because the solar heat gain exceeds what your air conditioning can remove.
Does window film really cool hot rooms?
Yes—quality window film (like 3M Prestige) rejects up to 97% of infrared heat, the primary cause of solar heat gain. Most homeowners notice an immediate difference after installation. Rooms that were unbearable become comfortable, and your AC doesn't have to work as hard.
Is window film better than blinds or curtains for hot rooms?
Yes, because film stops heat at the glass before it enters your room. Blinds and curtains absorb heat and re-radiate it inside—they provide shade but still let heat in. Window film is also more practical because you don't need to close it to get protection.
Will window film make my hot room dark?
Not necessarily. Modern heat-rejection films like 3M Prestige reject heat using nano-ceramic technology while allowing 40-70% of visible light through. Your room stays bright but cool. We bring samples so you can see exactly how different films affect your specific room.
