Does adding an extra layer of home window tint help?

Question

I put a diy layer of window tint on my kitchen window which gets a direct hit all afternoon. 1 layer may (?) be helping a little bit, would putting another layer on - maybe on the outside - help a bit more?

Answer 1

actually they sell this car tint that makes the window almost like amirror  then add your dark tint

Answer 2

If you have duo pane windows, be very careful!!!  If the tint is too dark, it will cause the window to absorb too much heat and it can crack the glass.  I would suggest a sun screen.  That way you can remove the screen and replace it with the original one during the winter when you may want all the sunshine you can get.  Good Luck!!

Answer 3

Help to what? Keep the heat out?

Yes.

But I would also suggest curtains.

Answer 4

in my bedroom the sun hits my windows all morning and the room get hott as h**l in the summer.

what i did ?...i bought some white window film that people use in bathroom for privacy , still lets the light in but it reflects the sun

i did it on the upper halfs of the windows and it at least 10 degrees cooler in the room now.

But i think a better solution would be some awnings on the outside

Answer 5

An awning would solve your problem better.
