church wants to keep the sun out of the father's eyes during mass :thumb I'm not sure if scaffolding will be the ticket for this height or not. approx 35 ft to top of glass. any suggestions on install technique here?

here's the glass that's the problem.

they ask me to measure the interior windows for now as they want to tint those instead of the ones in the direct sunlight. I plan on trying to close on the later because more glass = more $. and I want them to save on energy and get a benefit of heat reduction.

of course the side I won't be tinting has a convenient little ledge to measure from. however, I'll have to figure out some scaffolding to tint the other side. checked with Key West earlier to see if they make tint that would protect from the application side. of course the answer was no. :thumb Never know till you ask. thanks again for answering KW. always there for me.

What are you recommending for film? Those odd shaped windows would have me concerned with any higher heat absorbtion. Film to glass chart will help, but I would be extra careful since the expansion on those odd shapes will cause some crazy stresses.

DN 35 was my 1st choice. or possibly a bronze as a 2nd. they require that it not take away from the stained glass or current looks of the outside. they requested a "smoke" look. I thought the bronze would be a cool flow with the other colors. but something nuetral will probably be the ticket.

good point. so you would recommend going to the inside windows?

Odd shaped glass and it is large. Even installing the 35 could be too much heat stress due to the custom cutting of the glass.

Kynar is an exterior film. Easier to install that what you are dealing with and less heat stress on the glass.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
