Madico Film - Regular or Sunscape?

Thanks for your input.

From my own experience Guru, I found that the TSG 35 faded out to clear and is no longer available downunder. Wonder why?
The Sunscape films are all sputtered I believe and subsequent drying niggles with the SL 280 product for example won't get me using it again.
The Sunsape DG35 was OK for a neutral looking film but not much different to other competitive offerings from other manufacturers.
The ordinary range of vacuum deposited films like the SRS range are excellent and good value for what you get. But, crap like their RG 321 Grey that faded to hell and gave me heaps of grief is hard to believe it came out of the same plant.
As for their RB 320 Bronze, same digs and both are no longer available here. I know why.

Is it worth going Sunscape you ask? Good marketing brochures in that line but for us it is directed more to the domestic install business.
I suppose it comes down to how much of a premium it is relative to Madico's other films? Their pricing may vary from country to country.

I didn't vote, but I have used their SG-330 with much success here in Oklahoma City. It's very similar in appearance and performance to 3M's 35nearl which is what I used to use. I have been real happy with the SG-330 which I have been using for a little over a year. Customers seem to be really happy with the price and performance also. Hope this helps.

Been using Madico for a few years now. Three years ago it was mostly just the SRS line and a little bit of the TSG stuff. Last year started tring out some sunscape select and now this year it has been almost entirly sunscape select. I've been selling the whole DG line (natural looking film, decent heat rejection) and the SL line as well (Natural, duel reflective film, huge heat rejection). Finally got ahold of the SL 180 the other day. WOW. This film is amazing. Yea, its dark but at 83% heat rejection, its unbeatable. For commercial work or bedrooms, sunrooms, its a great solution for extream heat.

Like other Madico films, installation is super smooth. The optical clarity is realy clear and crisp. Some great promo litrature and warranty.

What I don't like is how they publish the numbers when it comes to heat rejection. For example the SL-280 is listed as 66% heat rejection and the SRS-330 is listed as 73% heat rejection. When testing the films side be side on glass, the SL-280 stops more heat than the 330 (just 1 btu more). Same is true with all other SSelect films, even when compared to other manufactures. So i take it they publish the TSER when installed on thermal pane glass where most TSERis done on single pane. I believe Huper Optik does the same. Can cause a lot of confusion for the customer when comparing different films.

So, my vote is for the Sunscape select...

Some films are more effective at reducing certain wavelengths of the solar spectrum... depends upon their deposition coating and VLT. Like Hoopa ti do and Vzzzz so Kool films are more effective with wavelengths in the infrared range giving the impression they are better performers. TSER takes into account the entire solar spectrum, which includes infrared, UV and VLT.

Specs are all based on ASHRAE using 3mm clear glass.
