Need a Flatt Glass Film recomendation

Kemble · July 12, 2009

Father-in-law wants his slider door on the West side of the house tinted.

His dog's tend to want to get at the blinds when they are closed so he'd like to keep them open as much as possible but after 2-3pm the sun is just too much into the kitchen and the heat as well.

His major concerns are the heat & the privacy during the times the blinds are open.

What film would you recommend using?

Thanks

Optitune 05% or lighter. if he doesnt mind that mirror look on the outside. Or you can go with Johnson Night Scape 15%. NOt so reflective but does the trick and can see our perfect.

A metalized film definitely. BUT, we need to know what kind of glass.

If they are sliders, could be tempered glass. I know here in NJ I've never come across a slider that wasn't tempered.

Thanks guys...

Yeah, the wife and I had our first little one. We have a 6mo daughter now. Kemble's Daughter's Blog So she's taken up all my free time :P

The glass is tempered, if that's what you call the double pane with the stitching look between the glass.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Time to call the film distributor for some samples.

I would go with a DR-35. I think its reflective enough to add privacy during those hours. If you go with anything more reflective it will stick out to much from the rest of the house.

DR35 is too light imo, 20 would be a better fit imo.
