Dual pane tinted vista wall glazing

tint_audiopros · August 21, 2013

I have a commercial building with these blk tinted dual pane windows. This building also has a large amount of single pane clear glass, I'm needing to match up to the tinted dual pane glass as close as possible to the exterior side. So far the closest match I have installed is ASWF moonlight10 but the warranty from what I understand is only 5 years, and I'm a bit weary of the manufacturer and longevity of the product, thoughts? Any other manu's out there have a blk looking film in the 10-15% range, cda adhesive with a 10yr warranty?? Thanks for the help fellas.

Mike,

hmmm.....61% interior reflectance? But does it match really well from the exterior? What about the Deluxe DL-05G SR CDF (Gray)?

DL 05 will be real close, maybe a little more reflective on the interior than the Moonlight 10... I forget what the warranty is on it? I used to install it a lot on Casinos, in my experience it will turn purple fairly quickly depending on exposure and altitude though. Most films in that class will do the same thing some will hold up a little better than others. You just have to spell it out to the customer and enjoy the R&R to follow. :twocents

We have a Ceramic 05 that looks good on that setup, no dyed layers, low reflectivity 14%. The only catch is that the SP glass would have to be HS or tempered.

I put up some samples and customer chose the moonlight 10%... mainly based on exterior appearance, my biggest concern is the film turning purple in a few years. All glass is east facing so that should help to conserve the dyed layer.

You did say " I'm needing to match up to the tinted dual pane glass as close as possible to the exterior side. "

The R-15G would have matched the smoke glass better then the DL-05 SR CDF because IMOP the DL-05 SR CDF looks more like a brown or bronze looking film and the R-15 looks more smoke from the outside and when looking at the film from the inside out in the daytime, not sure why Llumar classifies them as grey as either one of them look grey.
