Wildfire Window Laminates
Glass breaks under radiant heat and lets embers straight into the house. A heat-resistant film holds the pane together, so you can protect the windows you have without replacing them.
[ 01 ]The problem
Why this layer matters.
Hillside homes are built for the view, which means large panes facing the same canyons fires run up. Single-pane and older dual-pane glass can crack from radiant heat well before flames arrive. Once a pane fails, embers enter the house directly.

[ ? ]FAQ
Window laminates questions.
Still deciding? Call or text 310-569-4523.
Will the film change the view?
No. The film is optically clear and installed edge to edge.
Is this the same as tempered glass?
No. Tempered glass is a replacement. Laminates protect existing glass and can be added in a day.
Does it help outside fire season?
Yes. Films also block UV and hold glass together if a pane is struck or breaks.
