Barber shop storefront facing west has intense sun glare and heat that impairs visibility of haircuts and makes the shop uncomfortably hot, but the owner is concerned that window tint will block customer visibility into the shop.
Window tints may permanently reduce outside visibility into the shop, while shades require manual adjustment and may not fully block heat; no solution offers adjustable solar control that maintains visibility when needed.
