An enterprising fellow on the Yahoo! boards recently reveals a scan he made of an estimate received on SPD "ThermaLite" window from Thermoview. It really kind of speaks for itself...
... but to review (and in case the print is too small for you), that's a hair under $21,000 (plus sales tax), for ten 24" x 36" SPD windows. Not particularly big windows! Oh, and that doesn't including shipping. From Korea. (Because it's not as if Thermoview believed in the product enough to keep an inventory on hand). And best of all, installation? That's your problem! Good luck finding someone to do it.
Small wonder, then, that sales of Alterlite windows were, shall we say, less than robust.
The question arises, therefore, whether the current offering of SPD shades from Raytheon Aircraft is in fact any more affordable. Unfortunately, that's a question currently without an answer. Though you'd think at least lip service would be made to the idea of improved affordability, were that in fact the case.
