I think it would be hot enough in Johannesburg for solar attenuating glass to be standard, as it is in Australia - we're both on the same latitude.

Yeah, I couldn't get my head around that either. Why would it only be usefull in a small area of SA. Can you explain please Tony_T ?

I just dont think SA has the kind of extreme hot weather where this would be really usefull, or for it to be a standard feature. The small area i refered to (close to Namibia) is really the only place where there are high temperatures, 40 degrees +. But I also need to be fair, my sentiments are highly driven by the fact that I really want the DVS and RSE

I think you'll find it makes a difference from temperates as low as 20 degrees.

I've been to Cape Town 3 times and am visiting again this Christmas - each time I've been it has been in the high 30's for most days so I would have thought that RR had got their standard spec correct

The downloading is disabled, as they are my photos... If you want a copy big enough to print, then get in touch.
