Question about window tinting
My factory windows are dark but not reflective. My uneducated thought is that the dark actually creates more heat. Would a reflective window tint film be an improvement?

I do not know a WHOLE LOT about tinting, but I did stay at a motel 6 last night...
anyway,
While at the tint place talking, they had a revolving wheel with the different types and styles on it.. There was a bright light bulb behind, you would rotate the wheel to show the effectiveness of each tint..
The ONLY ones that kept the heat close to minimum was the new NANO based Polymer products....
The 1 advantage of going with the tint is the UV.. the grade they chose is 99% UV protectant.
While they were doing the windows, I was inside standing between the 2 windows, 1 done, and 1 not done... The glass was cooler to the touch on the tinted... Just not sure what that would result to in the big scheme of things... Their primary reason for tinting was privacy...

Thanks Joe. Personally, I would be just as happy to have all the blinds and drapes down but my wife would just come right behind me and open them all back up again. I would also consider adding more awnings over the windows but just too darn windy every day in the afternoons where we camp.
