I have just installed 11 large 5' X 7' dual pane windows replacing older dual pane windows from 1980 which had leaked and were foggy.
I live in Palm springs and 6 of these windows face East, It seems to me that more heat comes thru these windows than the old ones, they are bronze tinted, as were the old ones.
One is a glass entry door and I have repeatedly cleaned it but when the sun shines on it, it still looks like it needs to be cleaned. I looks fine when the sun is not shining on it, is this normal?
It's only 106 degrees this week and i'm concerned about July when it will be 120 degrees, my air conditioner seems to be working harder than it used to. I wish I had known about this forum before I installed the windows. They still have stickers on the outside saying "tint side".
