Huge windows, what film?


Recommended Posts

Posted

On a small commercial job I have 13 windows that are 242 inches tall by 69 wide and one that is 201 inches tall and 99 inches wide. Most of the 35s will blow this glass. Any suggestions other than a shiny 50 to get the most heat out without the absorption problems?

Thanks in advance.

IG? If so, nobody is going to warranty it. HO ACHT, SECH, Vista VS 70, VK-70, Hilite 70 would be the significant high vlt/high heat rejectors... :lol2

Have you personally seen it?

Because I've been fooled before! They tell me it's outrageously huge and I get there and it's actually 4 or 6 windows instead of one.

I agree with Dan... If not, those are huge windows. We need more info on the glass.

wouldn't they have to be more than 1/4" thick glass to be that large anyway. I would have the understanding that thicker would be a big issue as well....

pictures please?

Sorry, those are old school 1960-1970 era glasses that are annealed and particularly clear single pane, probably 3/8 " on the larger and at least 1/4" on the smaller. That wall frame is basically a steel I beam roof support that they stopped in and put glass to the outer flat of the I beam. It is a Civic Center Concert Hall. The glass is sealed in with what appears to be a relatively modern glazing sealant, flexible and not hard. However, some windows due to age have some harder sealant, and of course it is ultimately attached to those I beams. So in the heat, the steel will expand, the glass with tint will expand and me? I think buy the insurance for 4-5 grand and let it rip.
