Hi, we're thinking about getting our windows tinted to protect the living/dining room from the direct sun. We were initially thinking about having curtains but the view from our apartment is lovely and it would be a shame to block it.

Has anyone tinted their home windows ? Are you satisfied ? Which company did you use ? There is one company recommended on previous threads but just wanted to know of any recent experiences.

Thanks!

Sorry gaijind I can't tell you what shade I used as I wanted a particular thing done. I wanted the darkest shade they had in stock applied to the glass doors twice, a double layer, as it was in my baby's room and even with blackout curtains it was getting very light during the day and hot. The double dark layer has worked brilliantly for what I wanted, but has made the room rather dark.

I have used this company a few months back http://www.energy saving.ae - very happy with them Also do a search and type in the word "tinting", some previous threads regarding tinting come up I called the company. They seem good. I now have to chose between symphony 35 (a little darker shade) and Ultravision 50 (a little lighter shade). Which one did you get? how does it look? I don't really want the house to become gloomy... but wonder if the light shade provides the same protection etc. They gave me small samples but I can't tell. I hope someone who has tinted their windows would suggest the shade they find suitable. Thanks a lot again everyone for your help.

Hello, Did you get your house windows tinted? I am very interested to know the outcome of your search as I am in the same situation currently but know of no company that does that. Any leads? Thanks.
