Panorama Solar Films for Home Heat Relief

For many homes, there are just certain areas that are a problem – usually that southern or western exposure. Those rooms get so hot from solar energy that they almost become unusable. In order to cool off those rooms, you may have to turn the thermostat down so far that you freeze in the rest of your house. NOT ANYMORE!

Panorama solar films are the perfect solution. Made from an optical grade film and so light in color, that you’ll hardly even know it’s there. This film is so effective that as much as 70% of the sun’s heat can be rejected. This allows you to reduce heat in those problem rooms and lets you balance out the temperatures in the rest of the house.

Besides making your house more comfortable, you will also be saving money on your energy bills. You’ll no longer need to run the air conditioning at full tilt to keep rooms cool! Plus, since Panorama solar films block 99% of the ultraviolet rays, you will be protecting your furnishings from fading.

Other Advantages of Window Film for Heat Control

With more and more people working remotely, having a comfortable home office or area is an absolute must. And while Pacific Window Tinting products will keep temperatures more steady, it’s also a great option for a bit of added security and/or privacy.

You may be working with sensitive materials or customer information from your home. Window tint will obscure the view from outside looky-loos that may be wondering if you have anything of value in your home. Unless thieves know what they’re getting into, so they’ll usually pass on the unknown. That’s good for your work and your personal belongings!

Pacific Window Tinting products also offer additional safety measures for your home. Whether it’s kids playing ball, a strong storm, or other debris that goes flying while mowing the yard, a shattered window can be a dangerous mess to clean up.

With our adhesive tinting, if a baseball or a wind-blown tree branch does crash into the window, the film will help keep the shattered pieces together. This makes for a much easier–and safer–pick-up process. You won’t have to worry about discovering a missed shard at a later date by stepping on it with your bare feet. Ouch!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does window film reduce heat inside my home?

Heat-control window film works by reflecting and absorbing solar energy before it enters your home. Panorama® Solar Films can block up to 70% of the sun’s heat, keeping rooms cooler, reducing glare, and allowing you to maintain comfortable temperatures without overworking your air conditioner.

Will heat-control film make my house darker?

Not at all. Modern solar films are optically clear or lightly tinted, so they filter out heat and UV rays without reducing natural light. You’ll still enjoy bright, open spaces—just without the hot spots that make certain rooms uncomfortable.

Can window film really lower my energy bills?

Yes. By rejecting solar heat, your cooling system doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain a consistent temperature. Homeowners often notice lower utility costs, especially during Portland’s sunnier months. It’s a simple upgrade that pays for itself over time.

Will window film protect my furniture and flooring from fading?

Absolutely. Panorama films block 99% of harmful UV rays—the main cause of fading in wood, fabrics, and art. You’ll keep your furnishings vibrant and your floors protected while also improving comfort throughout your home.

Can heat-control window film add privacy or safety?

Yes. Certain films offer dual benefits—providing privacy by making it harder to see inside during the day and reinforcing glass to help hold it together on impact. This makes them a great option for home offices, playrooms, or any space where both comfort and security matter.

We used Pacific Window tinting for both a tint and a security film on two buildings. They came out and had us a quote very quickly and when we were ready to move forward they got us scheduled very quickly. The team that came out was wonderful to work with. They were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Overall we are very happy with our experience and will use them again if needed. I highly recommend them.

For over a year we had been deciding what to do with some of our upper level windows. We get a strong sunset that can be blinding for about half of the year. We reached out to Jared and his team at Pacific Window Tinting, he provided us with several samples and assessed our need as well as our budget, he made a couple of recommendations to meet our needs. He delivered an excellent product, in a short period of time at great prices while ensuring excellent customer service. We are finally able to enjoy the beautiful sunshine while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the architecture. Highly recommended.

Our waiting room at our clinic was much hotter than the rest of our clinic so we consulted with the owner, he gave some great suggestions and in a week or so we had the front windows and doors tinted, took a few hours, now it is much cooler! My front desk staff does not feel hot nor do patients in my waiting room. Thank you!
