OK, I think this is the thread in question, so customtinting, it's OK for you to bash Madico for dong it, but not OK for anyone else to mention another film DISTRIBUTOR/INSTALLATION CO. doing the same thing?

http://www.tintdude.com/forum/index.php?sh...28&hl=aegis

Funny, but I read everything I posted there and I did not bash any company, only stated the fact that all do it. Read THIS thread and I have posted time and again that ALL do it, not bashing at all. In the other post, I stated clearly that since all do it, contact them and get a peice of the pie. ( or we can cry here all day long about lost business.) Keys posts ONLY bash Aegis and Mr Edwards, even though it has been brought to his attention many times that other companies, including many he does business with(SunGard, Madico, Llumar) would seem to have a worse program. (Llumar just hired 3 reps in the northeast, one or two to specifically to go after the end user) I know for a fact that Key was a SunGard user up until the debacle. Did he ever post against them for this??.. NOPE If you consider letting people here know that other companies do this also is bashing, this may be time to get out the dictionary... :thumb

AS I reread the old thread, I still can see the same issue with everyone of Keys posts. They still read the same as he posted here, blatant attacks using Mr Edwards name. If he wants to say that Aegis stole work from him, then he has to be a user of the film!!! I use their film, and they feed all work they find in my area to me. The same as someother manufacturers do. It is not !llegal. The evidence you spoke of was from Aegis Applied Films,a seperate company from Aegis Window Films. Our Madico Distributor in this territory has their own onstallation company and does the same thing. As does many others.

I called Key on his post because Sunlimited, who I have met, asked about the FILM and Key went right off on the tangent to attack Barry and the company. If we follow the same logic, anyone could hijack any thread in the future and post whatever they want to trash whatever the thread was started out as. Key makes no bones about calling Barry a liar, which IS libelous. I only know that if TD asked him to take his vendetta elsewhere, then I cannot be the only one who could see the man behind the curtain, oh great and powerful OZ !! :cool

It is time to let this issue die, since the KEY perpetraitor has left temporarily and let TintDude move on. :evilgrin

:cool this was in that thread, so there are 2 Barry Edwards? or 2 diferent Aegis films?

I also understand that they ALL do it, and I could give a rats azz one way or the other, but here's some of your quote from that thread, that's not bashing :?:lol2:cool:cool:lol2

Our fine Madcow has been doing this for years. I have gone in to quote large jobs in my area (one was at Westover Airforce Base, MA) and found I was quoting against Madcow directly. I was selling their film at the time and found out from inside sources at the company that they were quoting. Beats your a$$ down a bit to find out that they would quote $3 - 3.50 a square for the job (while the local average is over $5). Suffice it to say, they stole this job and others from us local companies, then would turn the work over to an installation co. near their factory to install. Thus taking not only the bid, but the work out of our territory. When asked about it, I was told that this was so they could guarantee the job was Madcow film. But what about turning the work over to the local guy??? Guess this wasn't their concern!!!

The evidence you spoke of was from Aegis Applied Films,a seperate company from Aegis Window Films. Our Madico Distributor in this territory has their own installation company and does the same thing. As does many others.

That's right. And from what I could find, Barry is an officer in both corporations. I don't like that setup nor do I like your Maddy Dist's setup either. (Sorry Harold :evilgrin )

Well, I guess if you consider that bashing, you would be wrong since this quote was taken out of context of the thread it was from. I stated that Madico had been stealing work. This is all well and good, but since I was their local installer, they should have turned the installation over to us once it was won, which they did not. Only stating fact. Aegis DOES turn over work if you are a local installer. A great difference in my opinion.

But, as I will state again and again, I do not continue at every opportunity to spew the same rhetoric over and over, as the member you are trying to defend has.

In my post, I recommended to Key that he call Aegis directly if he had a problem and discuss it, which he posted he would not. On the other hand, the issues I have had with my manufacturers, I HAVE called them to discuss this and have found it beneficial and have received work from it. I do not continue with a blatant attacks HERE, where it is easy to hide behind a keyboard. So, before those few of you who wish to try to glaze over the initial issue by going at me, understand, I have made my effort to contact those who I feel were in need of a call. Something your dear friend, Key, refuses to do time and time again.

When he finally makes the effort to contact the one company he loves to attack at every turn, he may be able to work beyond this constant go round. As he, himself, stated, HE LIKED THE FILM ! So, call the company and work out the other issues, or drop it completely. :?

same with Aegis LOL

bottom line, the mood is installers are viewed as middle-men and people are trying to figure out how to get that margin.

So, we need to be pro-active and get out there and get it for ourselves. Stop bitchin about what ya can't control and take the reins of wha ya can......Business here is through the roof, mostly from the marketing campaign I have been running...........and I have my sales technique down well.....landing 90% of the quotes...............

      Cracked glass

      The crack indicates thermal stress, however, the edge of the glass may have an imperfection (bur or clam shell chip). The crack does run 90 degrees out from the edge and curves as it follows any weaknesses in the pane itself. I have attached a pictured of what tempered glass looks like when it breaks and alongside it what a plate (or float) and heat-strengthened glass looks like when it breaks. The outer panel my be tempered should indicate so by a stamp etched on the glass surface in one corner. It should indicate tempered. Plate glass has no indicators, however, heat-strengthened glass will crack in the same manner as plate glass. I'm an unsure whether heat-strengthened glass requires a stamp. Tempered glass is 4 times stronger than plate and heat-strengthened is 2 times stronger than plate. 1 in 24 is indicative of edge imperfection. I could not find the solar absorption rate of DN 50, but if it is similar to competitive films, there should be no issue with that installation setting (including a straight line shadow). This, too, points back to edge imperfection as the cause. And finally, I spy drapes in a close position, correct? If so, it would be helpful to crack open during sun exposure; this to assist in allowing trapped heat between the glass and drapes to dissipate.

      Cracked glass

      Hello. I recently installed Johnson Daylight Natural DN 50 on a couple of windows. Solar energy rejection is 39%. The windows are double pane and the glass is supposed to be tempered 4mm + tempered 6mm. The roof overhang shades the top 1/3 - 1/2 of the windows. However, a few days after installation I noticed that one of the glass has cracked, presumably due to thermal stress. Should I remove the film from the rest of the windows? I installed the film on 24 of these windows (6 tiny houses) so now 1 out of 24 is broken. Or is it more likely that I just got unlucky and the glass had a defect? Is shading from the roof overhang such a big factor? The glass cracked. Is it really tempered? I thought tempered glass would shatter, but not crack. Thanks!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.
