Low e i simply an applied metal layer on glass.

Most often found on surfaces 2 or 3

2 surface in southern regions as to keep heat out.

3 surface in colder climates to limit heat loss. Like a low e film that is applied to the inside of glass which would be surface 4 on an IGU.

Use a lighter to check which surface and can often determine type of coating by color of flame. Can be on surface 4 too.

Low e does absorb more heat than clear glass. Much like a metal film. But you wouldnt necessarily lose all benefits of low e if tinted.

If you tinted a window with low e on surface 2. The low e coating would already be "emmiting" the heat back outward so theoretically you have benefited from low e before solar contact is made with the tint on surface 4. But you are also insulating the inside pane with a film to slow convective heat transfer. From whatever heat is absorbed by low e coating.

if you match color you may not match quality or warranty.

ie: i think the true black and classic black are pretty consistant with color. but to put a slightly inferior film on front vs back may not get good feedback from customers.

But it woul be a good option if there is a likelyhood of removing front tint and leaving rear. You can remove TB clean and no adhesive lef over. Even without spraying water while removing.

But i would say go with the classic charcoal line if looking for higher vlt's

I use the CB 20% for factory color match as well.

help you see clarity as well as color.

15% classic black

20% classic black

35% classic black

whats in it?

awesome and lightning...and green apple scent

if I told you, stan would have to kill you

I looked though the msds sheet and the active ingredients are correct awesome and lightning. the inactive ingredient says malaysian cave slime.

also can you make a pine scent for winter time. I get depressed with work slowing down and need some holiday cheer on the few I do get.
