I was looking for it today, but all I found was from England or Australia. http://www.smartlouvre.com/documents/SmartLouvre2010.pdf I'm guessing it became extinct in the US when people stopped using operable windows on schools & commercial buildings. Does anybody know if it is still around in the US? Jerome J.

Hopefully Colin will delete your post for what it is, futile attempt at marketing a product, I admit I wasted my time to look at it, time I will never get back, thaks so much for that.

I need to find a sunscreen that diffuses the light and won't make the sky seem gloomy on a cloudy day like solar film often does. I remembered this product from long ago, and thought it might help. I only posted the ad because I expect that many of the younger forum members wouldn't remember the product. I am not trying to market anything. I'm just looking for information, and this is one of the best sites to find information.
