![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Does anyone know if the window glass in the TL-S is actually a LoE type of glass (ie, a thermal reflective coating that inhibits some percentage of heat from passing thru; aka, the "greenish" color)? This same technology is employed in insulated window units for housing. However, for housing window units adding a tint film in some cases can actually detract from the LoE thermal reflection. Anybody have any facts on this one?

I have 30% tint on mine and it still have that greenish color if you look at a certain angle. But overall it is dark smoke tint, which matches nicely on my black TLS.

edgalang: Sorry, what I actually meant to say was in a house window unit adding a tint film can build-up a higher temperature in the insulated portion of the window unit and may cause one of the panes of glass to crack (at least thats what the sales guy told me); obviously not relevant for auto glass.
