absorbing more of the heat and stopping it at the windows VS. coming through the glass.

Hi Tint-Pros,

We get this exact question at least once per month this time of year. Your explanation was correct.

I tell these customers that this is an indication that the film is working. All of the reflected energy and approximately half of the heat being absorbed by the glass/film will be re-radiated back outward. Without the film in place, all of that energy would enter the room to be absorbed by (and heat up) the carpet, couch, furniture, wall coverings, etc., and this will increase the load on the A/C unit.

True dat for single pane; however, with dual pane the re-radiate aspect is lower and slower to the outside than to the inside where the internal air temperature may be cooler through air conditioning.

Haze = depending on the film's composition is indicative of either poor PET, coated particles, poor adhesive coat, poor SRC, possible oxidation, or all of these and maybe some external issues like mounting soap, water... etc. Light is refracting off of something in that mix.
