    Home Window Tinting Advice Wanted

    Well the sun has finally come out in Victoria!

    Our house sits high in a block and faces West, I'm looking at tinting the west facing main bedroom windows and also the family room windows. We have heavy lined drapes but the carpet is still faded by the sun at the base of the drapes. Also I'd like to have the drapes open sometimes during summer.

    Can anyone recommended what shade of tint to use? Something that's gives privacy but lets us keep our view, I'm after advice from people who have experience with this in their homes please.
    Cheers
    Jack

    I find dark ones help with a reflective thingy on the outside, only issue is at night time, folk can see in but you can't see out when the lights are on

    We had one shade down from full mirror reflection on the back sliding door facing west and it made a massive difference, still let in enough light too.
