are solar window screens better for the money than solar window tinting?
would like to make my house more energy efficient and at the same time keep my cost down. solar screens will run me 50 to 80 dollars a window and with 25 windows that aint cheep. With tinting I can do the job myself but dont know if it would look cheap or if the stuff really works that well .
I’d choose the window film.
1. A quality film like Vista http://www.vista-films.com will cover your glass warranty and IS IG Dual Pane Safe!!
2. You will factor out 99.9% of the UVA and UVB unlike a screen
3. Maintenance is a breeze.
4. You choose the light transmission
5. Lifetime warranty
6. Low reflectivity or no reflectivity depending upon your selection
7. Saves utility costs
No brainer go with the film!
