Why This Matters
The angle of the afternoon sun creates intense direct exposure on west-facing home windows between 2pm and 6pm. This is the peak heat gain window for most homes — and the period when AC systems are already under maximum load.

This is especially relevant for sunroom & patio door tinting window tinting applications, which solar and uv film for sunrooms, enclosed patios, and sliding glass doors — making these spaces comfortable year-round without blocking the view.
