If you are considering installing after market tinting film, I would suggest checking the warranty on your double pane windows. In most cases (depending on manufacturer) the warranty is voided, this is because the darker films can attract excess heat to the glass causing an increase in pressure in between the 2 panes making the window more prone to seal failures.

Most new glass can be ordered with the option of tint that is actually part of the glass composition, this allows you to retain manufacturer warranty.

I am in the warranty department at Custom Windows and Exterior Design and help our homeowners with tinting questions regularly.
