Inspect the damage
We identify the affected windows, trace the reflection, and check the glass.

Low-E window reflections can permanently fade, warp, or scorch composite decking. We assess the risk and install exterior film when it’s the right solution.
Why decks get damaged
Low-E glass can focus reflected sunlight onto a narrow section of deck. As that hot spot crosses the same boards day after day, composite decking can fade, warp, bow, or scorch.

Our service
We identify the affected windows, trace the reflection, and check the glass.
We match a compatible exterior film to the glass and its reflection pattern.
A window-film professional applies the selected film to reduce the reflected energy reaching the deck.

Exterior film can reduce the concentrated energy reflected toward the deck. Because the glass, sun angle, surroundings, and exposure vary by home, every job starts with an assessment.

Low-E windows can concentrate reflected sunlight onto a small area of composite decking. Deck manufacturers warn that the resulting heat can discolor, warp, bow, or damage the boards.
When film is a suitable solution, it is professionally applied to the exterior of the window causing the reflection. The selected film reduces the concentrated energy reaching the deck.
Appearance, performance, and warranty considerations depend on the glass and film combination. We review compatibility before recommending an installation.
