I'm considering (well, more than considering - trying to choose who and what) having window tint film installed on the 16' plus sliding glass doors in my Florida room. The heat load is incredible and for the past 8 years I've just shut the A/C vents in that room during the summer and closed it off from the rest of the house. With my job going to the Czech Republic, I'll be spending more time at home during the day and will use that room.
I had a company called Tint America come for an estimate which came in at around $600 - I guess that's ballpark for installed film on that much window. I'd like to hear about any personal experiences with a project like this and recommendations to avoid pitfalls. FL is overrun with window tinting companies and as the view through these windows is one of the reasons I bought the house, I don't want to screw it up with peeling or bubbled film. Obviously, I'll check with the BBB before putting any money down, but personal experiences, good or bad, may help.
Thanks.
