Well, there’s window treatments like curtains and blinds but they block out light completely. Unfortunately our homes and office buildings are covered in windows which don’t provide much of retreat from the heat. Since we can’t beat the heat our goal is to avoid it as much as we can by staying inside.

The summers here in Arizona are hot, bright, and long. ![]() However, that's just my opinion, you know your house better than I do.Solar window films provide homeowners and businesses with countless benefits. I just like how that opens it up visually and practically. Starting around 12" off the floor, running at least 6-8' up from there 6' wide center picture window with 3' wide flanking windows. Personally, I would've done the bottom windows differently. That could also magnify the tint that you are referencing. I do agree, however, with nidnay-in that it will make a difference once the walls are drywalled, and especially once they are primed/painted. But it's not terrifically out of bounds, either-especially if the VLT is for the whole unit performance(used less often but might be the case here) compared to center of glass VLT. ![]() It looks like they've gone heavy on the tint for a lower SHGC, but light(no pun intended) on the overall performance. If they're using whole-unit(vs center of glass) VLT performance, I can see how they'd get closer to a VLT of 46-but to only have a UF of.
