Stop Your Windows from Melting Artificial Turf
Your Low-E windows are concentrating solar energy like a magnifying glass — melting turf, warping siding, and destroying landscaping. We have two proven solutions.
Modern energy-efficient windows (Low-E, dual-pane, triple-pane) are designed to reflect heat away from your home. The problem: that reflected energy gets concentrated into a focused beam — especially from concave or angled glass surfaces.
On south and west-facing walls, this concentrated reflection can reach temperatures over 200°F — far exceeding the 160-175°F melting point of most artificial turf. The result: melted patches, discolored spots, and thousands of dollars in turf replacement.
This is extremely common in Henderson, Las Vegas, and throughout the Southwest where intense sun + Low-E windows + artificial turf are all standard.
Applied to the interior of the problem windows, Reflect Guard 70 reduces exterior reflectance from 15-40% down to just 8% — diffusing the concentrated beam into a harmless scatter pattern.
| Visible Light: | 66% (barely noticeable) |
| Ext. Reflectance: | 8% (eliminates hot spot) |
| IR Rejection: | 75% |
| Warranty: | 3 Year Limited |
✔ Safe for all glass types | ✔ Preserves views | ✔ Also reduces energy bills
Exterior mesh screens installed over the problem windows that physically block and absorb solar energy before it hits the glass. Eliminates the reflection entirely at the source.
| How it works: | Blocks reflection before it leaves the glass |
| Visibility: | Slightly reduces view (mesh visible) |
| Best for: | Severe cases, windows you don't look through often |
| Maintenance: | Removable, easy to clean |
✔ 100% eliminates reflection | ✔ Removable | ✔ Also reduces heat inside home

Not sure which is right? We'll come out, assess which windows are causing the problem, and recommend the best solution for your specific situation. Free assessment.
We perform a free on-site assessment. We identify which windows are creating concentrated reflections based on their angle, coating type, and the position of your turf. Often it's only 2-4 windows that need treatment.
Reflect Guard 70 transmits 66% of visible light — most homeowners can barely tell it's there. It has a very slight tint but preserves your views completely. No mirror effect.
Heat-resistant turf has a higher melting point (~220°F vs 160°F), but concentrated Low-E reflections can exceed even that. The only permanent fix is addressing the reflection at the source — the window.
Yes — Reflect Guard 70 is virtually invisible from the outside (8% reflectance is lower than bare glass). It won't change the appearance of your home. We can provide documentation for your HOA if needed.
Most turf guard jobs involve 2-6 windows and are completed in 1-2 hours. We work around your schedule.
