Black film for windows on MF 795?

[neverlander]

Hello,

As in the cars, I would like to apply black film to side windows and the top hatch to reduce the sun effect and keep inside a bit calm. I could not find any nautical service providing such and offer. I’m planning to get it from a car service but I’m concerned why it is not talked/offered for the boats. I know it will reduce night vision but can there be any other glitch I’m missing?

- can sea water or being on the sea distort the films very fast?
- can it reduce the shock durability of the window applied?
- anything else?

Thanks

i certainly understand the need.  I sold an NC 895 with AC since i cooked in the cabin.  I would try the rear doors, sun roof and side windows.  I would not do the front window unless I had FLIR.  Even if you do not night boat I never like the idea of reduced visibility . 


Maybe start with sun roof and see if the glass temp is significantly lower.


I see no problem with using an auto tint company since a car has similar temperature issues and is exposed to weather.

The windows already have a film/coating on the inside. I don’t know if another film can be applied without possible issues. I advise you to check with the glass manufacturer.

Sliding door might have a film already as it is a bit purple-ish in color but side windows are clear transparent. I didn’t expect that they also have film but I will check with the factory.

I currently am in the concern, found ceramic based tint in clear and colors. Also heard of special tint for plastic or lexan type windows. Seems here in SWFL tinting the back sliders, roof and forward hatch requires special product made  for plastics. Also the ceramic glass tint comes in clear and reduces heat transfer but not night time vision.

Once installed I'll report back
