WARNING:  Solar films should not be installed on thermal pane windows where the glass has been treated with a LOW-E coating.

Automotive film should never be installed on thermal pane windows. Dark, highly absorbing film should not be installed on

large thermal pane windows where there is uneven sun exposure (partial shading for example) on the window creating uneven

heat distribution over the glass. Solar films should never be installed on damaged, chipped or cracked glass.
