The glass you can buy today is much better at cutting back the radiant energy then what was available in the 70's. I'd look for the dual pane beauties that are available. You can test them out with a strong flashlight and a radiometer at the store. <http://radiometer.hobbytron.com/Radiometer.html> I would really test them out before installing in that setting. You want to block as much inbound radiation at a price you can afford. I am not a fan of tinted windows myself. I was talking to someone whose office is on the south side of our building, and they are now depressed that the building put in window film on her windows. She said it is depressing. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
