Home Window Tinting?

[Jefft72]

Home window tint film can be bought at home improvement stores and I am not sure the difference between it and car tint.

I have used it on my last house on the windows that faced west. I used the 90% stuff and had a good experience with it. I have since used solar screen on my current house and certainly prefer the exterior look of the screens to the film. But I think that both products do a very good job of keeping the heat out.

Security tint is thicker and has a stronger adhesive. I use it because of the hurricanes here in Florida. Also check with your homeowners insurance and electric company. I got a $150 credit from my electric company and a discount on insurance.
