Folsom is about 25 minutes from our shop, and the westbound Hwy 50 run catches both morning and afternoon sun depending on your schedule. That low, direct light comes straight through the windshield — the largest, most heat-prone piece of glass on the car. We specialize in windshield treatments that reduce glare and heat while keeping your forward view crystal clear and fully within California law.
Many Folsom drivers own premium cars and Teslas with big glass roofs, and those vehicles already run warm; the windshield only adds to it. We apply a clear, high-VLT ceramic IR film across the full windshield. It stays near-clear, so it easily passes California's visible-light requirement while rejecting solar heat and blocking 99% of UV. The Encore Supreme IR film is non-metallic, so it won't interfere with sensors, cameras, or the connectivity these vehicles depend on.
For the direct overhead sun reflecting off Folsom Lake and the open Hwy 50 corridor, California permits a tinted strip along the top of the windshield, above the AS-1 line. We computer-cut that legal top strip to match your glass and pair it with the clear IR film for a complete solution — less squinting, a cooler cabin, and a clean, factory-correct look. Same-day roll-down means you drive away comfortable.
