Johnson Window Films Palisade
Experience the Palisade Difference
Johnson Window Films Palisade series represents the pinnacle of nano-ceramic window film technology, offering Arizona homeowners and businesses an unmatched combination of heat rejection, UV protection, and optical clarity. Unlike traditional dyed or metal films, Palisade utilizes advanced ceramic nanotechnology to deliver superior performance while maintaining a soft, neutral appearance that enhances any property.
Why Palisade is Perfect for Arizona: With Arizona's intense year-round sunshine delivering over 300 days of sun annually, protecting your home or business from solar heat and UV damage isn't optional—it's essential. Palisade ceramic films are specifically engineered to combat the extreme conditions of the Southwest, delivering up to 70% reduction in interior fading and exceptional heat rejection that dramatically lowers cooling costs.
The Palisade series features a unique construction combining aluminum and dyed charcoal infused with ceramic nanoparticles, resulting in one of the highest-performing architectural films available. The deep dyed charcoal maintains your natural view day or night while keeping both interior and exterior reflectivity at pleasingly low levels—no mirror-like appearance that changes your building's aesthetics.
⚠️ Important: Understanding How Your Ceramic Film Works
Why Does My Window Feel Hot After Installation?
Many customers are initially surprised when they touch their newly filmed windows and find the glass is significantly hotter than before—sometimes reaching 115-120°F on sunny days. This is actually a sign that your Palisade ceramic film is working exactly as designed! Let us explain why this happens and what it means for your comfort.
🔬 The Science: Absorption vs. Transmission
Palisade ceramic films work by absorbing solar energy at the glass surface rather than allowing it to pass through into your space. When the film absorbs infrared radiation, UV rays, and visible light energy, that energy must go somewhere—it converts to heat at the glass barrier. This causes the glass temperature to rise significantly, which is proof the film is stopping solar energy from entering your room.
What's Really Happening:
- WITHOUT Film: Solar energy passes through the glass and heats your furniture, floors, walls, and air throughout the room. The glass stays relatively cool (~90-95°F) because energy is flowing through it.
- WITH Palisade Film: The ceramic nanoparticles absorb up to 60% of total solar energy right at the glass surface. The glass becomes hot (~115-120°F) because it's acting as a barrier, preventing that energy from penetrating deeper into your space.
Why the Room Might "Feel the Same" Initially:
The super-heated glass does radiate some warmth into the immediate area next to the window (convective heat—warm air rising off the glass). However, the bulk of solar energy is no longer heating objects and air throughout your entire room. You'll notice the real benefits by observing:
- Furniture, flooring, and countertops several feet from windows stay much cooler
- Your air conditioning runs less frequently and more efficiently
- Overall room temperature is more comfortable, especially on sunny afternoons
- Reduced fading and sun damage to interior furnishings
- Lower monthly energy bills
📊 Understanding TSER (Total Solar Energy Rejection)
When we say Palisade PD40 provides "60% heat rejection," we're referring to Total Solar Energy Rejected (TSER)—the percentage of the sun's total energy that is prevented from entering your interior space. This is NOT the same as glass temperature. A hot glass surface means the film is successfully capturing and stopping solar energy at the barrier, rather than letting it flow into your home where it would heat everything inside.
The Bottom Line: Hot glass after film installation = Film working correctly! The energy that's making your glass hot would otherwise be heating your entire room, furniture, and belongings. You're now stopping it at the first barrier—your windows.
Understanding Nano-Ceramic Technology
Ceramic window films represent a revolutionary advancement in solar protection technology. Unlike older dyed films that fade or metallic films that interfere with electronics, ceramic films use microscopic ceramic particles to block heat and UV rays while maintaining perfect signal transmission and optical clarity.
Nano-Particle Science
Palisade utilizes ceramic nanoparticles so small they're measured in billionths of a meter. These particles are transparent to visible light but highly effective at blocking infrared heat radiation and ultraviolet rays—the two primary causes of discomfort and damage.
Superior Heat Absorption
Rather than reflecting heat like metallic films, ceramic nanoparticles absorb infrared radiation and dissipate it safely. This absorption process delivers exceptional comfort without creating the mirror-like appearance that many find unappealing.
Zero Signal Interference
Because Palisade contains no metal particles, it won't interfere with cell phones, GPS navigation, satellite radio, WiFi, or any other wireless signals. Your technology works perfectly while you stay protected and comfortable.
Color-Stable for Life
Ceramic films don't fade, turn purple, or change color over time like older dyed films. The ceramic nanoparticles are inherently stable, ensuring your windows look great and perform consistently for decades.
Industry-Leading Heat Rejection
Palisade delivers exceptional thermal performance with up to 40% heat load reduction. The PD40 variant earns a prestigious 4-star heat rejection rating, making it ideal for Arizona's intense climate. By blocking infrared radiation before it enters your space, Palisade keeps interiors dramatically cooler, reducing strain on HVAC systems and delivering substantial energy savings year-round.
Maximum UV Protection
All Palisade films block 99% or more of harmful ultraviolet rays—the leading cause of skin damage, eye problems, and interior fading. This level of protection is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as part of a comprehensive sun protection program. Your family, employees, furnishings, flooring, artwork, and upholstery receive professional-grade UV defense.
Exceptional Optical Clarity
Palisade maintains superior visual clarity with natural color transmission. The soft, neutral charcoal shade blends beautifully with any existing glass, preserving your outdoor views without the color distortion common in lower-quality films. You'll enjoy clear, crisp visibility in all lighting conditions.
Effective Glare Reduction
Reduce eye strain and improve comfort with up to 56% glare reduction. Palisade eliminates harsh brightness on computer screens, televisions, and work surfaces without creating a dark, cave-like environment. Natural light is balanced perfectly for comfortable living and working conditions throughout the day.
Reduced Interior Fading
Protect your investment with up to 70% reduction in fading damage to furnishings, wood floors, rugs, artwork, and window treatments. Palisade's combination of UV blocking and heat rejection preserves the vibrancy and integrity of your interior décor far longer than untreated glass.
Significant Energy Savings
The high heat-rejecting properties of Palisade translate directly into lower utility bills. By reducing solar heat gain, your air conditioning system works less frequently and more efficiently. Many customers experience 20-30% reductions in cooling costs, with payback periods of just a few years.
Consistent Day & Night Views
Unlike reflective films that create mirror effects, Palisade's deep dyed charcoal construction keeps both interior and exterior reflectivity at pleasing, consistent levels regardless of time of day. Your view remains unchanged whether it's bright noon or dark evening.
CST Scratch-Resistant Coating
Every Palisade film is protected with Johnson's proprietary CST (Clear Scratch-resistant Technology) hardcoat, ensuring long-lasting durability, protection, and optical clarity. This professional-grade coating resists everyday wear and makes cleaning simple and safe.
