The Challenge
A homeowner in Vestavia Hills had a home office with east-facing windows that received direct morning sun from sunrise until around 11am. The glare on the monitor was severe enough that the homeowner was working with the blinds closed for the first half of every working day, losing the natural light and the view of the garden. UV fading was also visible on the desk surface and on a bookcase near the window. The homeowner wanted to work with the blinds open.
The Solution
Solar Busters specified Solar Gard Quantum 50 for the home office and the adjacent east-facing bedroom windows — 560 sq ft in total. The Quantum 50's 79% heat rejection and 99% UV block addressed both the glare and the fading concerns, while the 50% visible light transmission maintained the quality of natural light in the room. Installation was completed in a single half-day visit. The homeowner opened the blinds the same morning.

"I work from home and the morning glare was genuinely affecting my productivity. I've had the blinds open every morning since the film went in. The view of the garden is back and the monitor is completely usable. Wish I'd done it the day I moved in."
