What is the best type of tint in install to reduce heat? Cannot be reflective (Association rules).

I have heard that ceramic will cause the glass to get very hot. The window will have a western exposure so it receives direct sunlight in the afternoon.

The highest heat rejecting film without getting reflective is Huper Optik Drei and the most expensive. Next step down is ceramic films. Next step down would be a medium shade bronze sputtered film. Dual reflective films do a great job. But if exterior reflectivity is an issue, it might be too reflective.

T-man is right :thumb

I disagree, all though I did not know these #'s until I looked them up after reading this thread but I used google and found 2 other films in 3 min that have higher heat rejection #'s without being reflective inside or out,., :bingo

not putting HO films down but the # for them are not the highest #'s out there for heat rejection :twocents

Well... Tman at least offered a suggestion by name. This person asked for a suggestion, not to watch an argument unfold.

I'd like to see them too. Doesn't have anything to do with angled measurements, does it? :lol2:twocents

ceramic film will get the windows hotter then a reflective film,true.

Drei is not ceramic it has a .30 SHGC window temps are fine and 12% reflectivity.

your right and I'm not here to argue with anyone,, I did not know the answer to his question so I searched it on google,, serously

this is not my field! Automotive is so you can have it,,, I did find 2 dual reflective films that offer more heat rejection,, BUT I have not used those types of films so I can not continue in this thread with my :)

again I was not talking down your HO,,, :lol2

there's no doubt HO is a great film, does have good #'s
