The ///Man Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I have a customer that has 3 windows tinted to match their other 3, the stainless steel 10 I hae in stock I would love to use for the job, but I don't want to costing me broken windows. I checked for a film to glass chart on their website with no luck. the windows don't see much direct sun except maybe when the sun is on the horizon as the windows are set back in to an entry way.

Fiveofeen Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 You'll need to fill out a film to glass checklist to seek approval for laminated glass. I can email it to you if you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suntint Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Went and took a closer look and they are actually laminated glass. does this change things? It does - and not for the better. Laminated glass is more likely to break than standard annealed glass. Tempered glass would have been safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it tempered lami-glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Customtinting Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 With an absorbtion level of 55%, I would steer clear of it. Also, knowing it is lami glass, there can be major issues when those heat up....not just from breakage, but the lamination can break down from the excessive heat that will be on them. V4V said it straight up...........USE AN EXTERIOR FILM................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
