Check with the mfg.

Hanita Tek 5% assuming it "qualifies" on the FTG chart.

The big question is what surface is the low E coating on? Surface 3 is where you will find issues, surface 2 should be approved by most mfg's FTG for a Silver 20 film.

Just to clarify, surface 1 is outside pane, 2 inside of outside pane, 3 is outside of inner pane 4 is inside of inner pane.

Since its a Silver 20 which is very reflective you aren't absorbing much energy so risk is lower.

But.. as TJ said, check with your manufacturer, easy answer that covers your butt too

What he said and don't forget about shading

lol..you should explain that better and I would say shadow instead of shade.. when a roof line or tree casts a shadow on the window will play a big factor also

He obviously doesn't know either... not surprising.
