MikeMN Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Do you see any potential issues with this install....... ? The film used is a 25% DR film and south facing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coast2coasttinting Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 the shade tree combined with the absorbant nature of a 25% vlt film should cause seal failure on the windows if they are IG glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTint Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I all but refuse to use DR 20-30 film anymore. I have never had so many failures with all other films COMBINED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tint Eastwood Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I guess you mean the trapped air when the pane is slid open..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMN Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I guess you mean the trapped air when the pane is slid open..... The heat on the first DP that the other window is now behind is my concern, the TSA on the window that is now covered by the other is very high as now the heat has no way of escaping, more then if you would have dark wooden blinds over the windows..........

coast2coasttinting Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 do they want to keep the window open alot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tint Eastwood Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Good point. But in my experience (limited yes) most people have their windows closed during colder months. With a south facing window that would be when the harshest exposure would be on that surface. Chances are those windows would be closed. My thoughts, wrong as they may be, are that in areas that actually have a winter this wouldn't present "too much" of a problem. But in more southern areas where open windows are more likely in during the months of southern exposure this could present more of a problem. But it only takes one good day to break a window I suppose. Maybe a light film installed on just the fixed pane would be the ideal solution, if the window would be opened more than half of the time.
