Rep Power: 23 Golden Key is on a distinguished road
I have the sun beating in my front windows for a good part of the day. I was thinking of having a light tint put on them.
What do you think?

I have been thinking the same thing Key. I sure would help keep the salon cooler.

Rep Power: 23 Tamar will become famous soon enough
We did this about 6 weeks ago, makes a big difference. The setting sun was streaming right into our lobby, customers fanning themselves with the magazines. Well worth the money, many compliments on how it looks from the outside too!

Hint: we spent half as much money by getting hooked up with a fellow that does it on the side. Find an auto dealership (ours contracts throught BMW), and see if he'll do it on the side for $$$. Our estimates dropped from $1200 to $495 doing it this way. Don't give up til you find one, they're out there.

Had tinting for 8 years and it did block the heat but it also blocked some view during the day and night. Our employees couldn't see out that well during the night and the clients couldn't see in that well during the day. We finally took it off and and have has so many compliments from clients. It is so much more enviting.

Golden Key - It took Tamar 8 months to convince me that we needed to tint the windows. We have everyone under the sun come out and give us estimates. Solar screen, window tint, mini blinds, etc. We found that a light tint was the best option for us. I looks great and is helping with our lovely hot TX sun. Our lobby used to be unbearable in the afternoons. Now, it is absolutely lovely.

I think using a lite tint is the key here. You can still see in and out. But using a very dark one would hender the vision.

I looked at some window muriels (sp) at home depot, but you couldn't see through them. Not a good option. They were very pretty tho.

thank you for the input, think I am going to tint, it is just to hot in the lobby during the day.
Hope it works.

actually I thought of getting the mirror type, the dark ones make stores look like adult videos stores.
Many here in ft lauderdale.
Most executive buildings here are mirror tint, plus they are the most reflective and dont fade, seeing that they dont have any dye in it
