San Diego is an unusual market for window film, because the weather is mild enough that people do not think of their house as hot — and then the marine layer burns off at eleven and the west-facing rooms are unusable by three.
The four things film is bought for here, roughly in order: glare, which is the complaint most people describe as heat; fading, because coastal light is relentless on hardwood and textiles; heat, particularly inland where the marine influence drops away within a few miles; and privacy, on the narrow lots in the beach communities.
What varies enormously across the county is how much film you need. Carlsbad and La Jolla glass is often well served by a virtually clear film like SPe Lite 70 that nobody notices. Ten miles inland in Escondido or El Cajon, on the same afternoon, the temperature is fifteen degrees higher and a clear film is not going to be enough.
That is the whole reason we survey before we quote. The right answer in one ZIP code is the wrong answer in the next one over.
