Default Window Film

I know this is an old thread, but I have a few questions:

1.) We were told by an installation company that if we do this, it voids the warranty on the windows. ???
2.) Has anyone installed the heat reflective roller shades? We had someone give us an estimate for our 2 west facing windows but then found them online cheaper. Both the guy who came out and the online info swears they block 95% of the heat and 100% of the UV rays. They will fit between the blinds and the window glass so don't have to remove the blinds. Any input?

Geraldine, I hope someone replies to your post. I too, am interested in tinting our windows, but not concerned about the warranty as we have an older home. Pat

Geraldine,
yes it voids the window warranty, but that's a risk I'd be willing to take.
What's the warranty really going to do - not much. The tints have been used many years effectively.

We bought an older home and the front windows face west. We had EIS install the film on the front windows, and I think I would do it even if it did void a warranty. The privacy and comfort we enjoy is worth a lot.
