I’m on the board of a condo owners association. Many of the condos have skylights and residents want to cut their utility bills. What would be the best solution? The product that is fitted outside over the skylight like a webbing or a film applied on the inside. If a film what would you recommend? Thank you.

It may be because part of the idea of low-e is to let heat in during the winter and by putting the sun screens in it will cancel out that ability and therefore would no longer be classified as low-e

Why does putting sun screens on a low-E window void the warrenty? Is it because many companies drill into the frame to mount the screens or is there some other reason? We recently moved into a new house with low-E windows and I would like to add sun screens to the west facing windows to reduce the afternoon heating. Will I be OK if I mount the screens to the house rather than the window frame?
Thanks,Keith
