Questions from Mitcham
Is solar control the same as tinted glass?
Solar-control coatings often look slightly tinted, but the performance comes from the coating, not just the colour.

Internal blinds reduce glare but the heat is already inside the room. Glass that stops the heat at the roof is more effective.
