What's the consensus down there on window tinting or sun screens or neither one? I'd love to hear pros and cons, who you used, how much it costs. We're building a 3,750 square footer with about 50 windows.

I've had great luck with the "light" window tinting and 2 row cellular blinds on my home. This combination works really well to filter out the sun and keep cold out during winter and heat out during summer.

Are you talking about tinting double-pane windows? When I lived in New Orleans, I had single-pane windows and tinted them - very necessary there for the heat. I thought all new homes had double-pane windows now?
