Tinted house windows now I have heard everything LOL. I would use black out shades or really dark drapes. Are you a vampire? LOL

Tinting looks less suspicious than blackout curtains when your doing something illegal....

You should ask in the Arizona or Nevada Forum.

I've worked in plenty of beach houses on dune rd with tinted windows, it isn't common but not unheard of around here.

Just put tin foil on them

It's the newest interior design trend.

All the nuts have it in the Hamptons.

I’ve had two oddly shaped windows that I didn’t want to buy custom curtains or blinds for. I went to Home Depot and bought self tint stuff (it’s like a sticker). It worked great, and was a super cheap option. From the outside of the house, you couldn’t really tell it was up, either.

I know a few home owners who had 90% 3m crystalline installed. It’s crystal clear but has 99% heat reduction.

We had the clear uv blocking window film installed on west and south facing windows at our last two houses. Llumar on the first house and another brand (sorry, not able to look it up at this moment) on the other. Both worked great vs heat gain and sunfading of contents. Proper application is key though; IMHO its not a DIY project. The shop who did our 2014 install was Top Edge in St James. They also did our car tints (legal).
