Your grey will make a small difference at night and you will really only notice it at dusk, just as the lights appear. When full darkness swings in you won't see any difference.

Mike Tinted glass acts like a mirror for the brighter lit side. If you've ever ridden a bus or train at night you can see outside, but only the actual bright lights are really visible through the bright reflection of the interior, the detail in the low lit areas outside is gone. If you want to see a view, rather than just the bright lights, stick to clear. Looking inside from outside on a dark night is very difficult until you turn any inside light "on". Then everything inside is visible. Ed "ECOECO" At 'EcoEco', we design windows, we design the best windows, we do it for you, so that when you’re happy we are happy. Tel. 1800 326 326 Versaloc is a mortarless besser block system that still needs a properly engineered footing. If you just do a 400x200 footing it will fail in time. At 17m long you need it… 1 18217 Need to remove glass panel out of concrete without wrecking the glass to get the spa room in, any recommendations on how to do that. Thank you 0 39049 |
