My girlfriends house needs tempered glass per Hillsborough County regulation, according to the inspector. It is because her pool is less than 60" from the back of the house. She just had her pool installed, and the inspector was there for the final.

Now, does anyone know if by chance we can do a safety film instead of having new windows put in? The house is roughly 6 months old, pool just went in.

Getting ahold of the building department here to ask the question has been a headache. It's like they don't care at all to help. She is extremely pissed at the pool company for failing to mention it also.

Thank you in advance.

I have installedmil film to bring regular glass up to tempered glass code. Double check with the inspector of your area. If he needs more info, contact a film company and they should be able to supply any documentation that is needed.

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      I’ve tried both pure max carbon and koolmax ceramic. So from what I’ve experienced the pure max is honestly very easy to work with and just feels right as the beginner I am. I’ve easily shrunken rear and front windshields as a beginner with the pure max so I know someonewith experience can easily work with it. However I’m not sure if just me but the koolmax ceramic has just been a headache thing to shrink on rear windows only. Heard the adhesive isn’t as good either especially by dot matrix’s which I encountered on a 2000 mustang. But yea I recommend the pure max line although I switched over to geoshield .

      Cracked glass

      The above post is a bit controversial and naive in nature. May I suggest improving technical knowledge by using a film-to-glass chart, IWFA's study on window film use on dual pane glazing systems, and glass itself. Air/gas used in dual and triple pane glazing systems has zero impact on what gets installed. Absorption rate of film and glass edge quality impact the aforementioned glazing systems most. The film used in the OP has absolutely no reason to be installed to the exterior surface. Neither do the vast majority of film products that carry an absorption rate less than 50%. Start searching for good quality information to better serve you and your clients. And finally, installing on the exterior maybe has a life expectancy of 5-7 years before seeing degradation. Properly installing a product deigned for the interior (on the inside) increases life expectancy up 20-25 years, depending on the quality of the film.

      Question about VLT variance

      I just did a minor search on google and found this about the tinting laws of Illinois State. Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 6 inches of the windshield. Front Side windows: Must allow more than 35% of light in. Back Side windows: Must allow more than 35% of light in. Rear Window: Must allow more than 35% of light in. Please keep in mind that it is only for Sedans, if you have SUV then the law is different.
