I've installed tsg series film many times, I've seen it last 10 years without changing color. there is a building in san carlos we did still looks good since the first day we put it on back in 99. :dunno

Put that building in a harsh climate and then see what happens... San Carlos is in the fog for part of the year.

Thanks VClimb, I guess I'll stick with sunscape films cause I don't believe TSG is warrantied against fading but adhesive failure should be covered :drevil

Funny, TSG 335 used to be a Sunscape Film back when the program started. If you install that film correctly adhesive failure will not be an issue, their dry adhesive is bomber.

V, are you sure? The sunscape line was and still is SG330, not the TSG335. TSG335 is the everyday line they sell. (at least that is how it is sold in this market, where the mfg plant is) The SG line has been marketed under Sunscape for as long as I can remember, been at it for 17 years. In this market, the Sunscape program is overly costly to get into, but I can purchase and install the product, with warranty, just cannot use it in marketing.

Go back and check on that. Maybe other wholesalers market differently??? Let us know.

As far as TSG is concerned, the film is very good. I have installed it all over the northeast (opps, was that giving awway where I am???... :thumb ) with no failure for years. It looks good, and goes up easy. Used it on beachfront, lakefront, mountain and city homes and commercial properties. Looks good still!!!

Tint_audiopros, Look up the warranty, TSG holds a lifetime warranty for residential for fading. Check it out....................

Yep, I'm sure. I think I probably have some old literature somewhere. I put a ton of that stuff up. SB 341 was part of that group too... Sunscape started some time after CP launched Vista, didn't cost a dime to get into Sunscape back when it started.

We just R&R'd a job that was up for two years and had signs of color failure... it wasn't Madico but the funny thing was that the installing dealer is not in business anymore for some strange reason. :thumb

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      All Right cool. I've been practicing with an inexpensive tint I found on amazon. Its called Rockrose. I'm just about ready to make some cards to pass around to get clientele. I've been debating if I should start with Puremax cuz its a lot cheaper or Geoshield cuz of the great quality I've heard of. I'll probably go with Geoshield so I can make it easy on myself and make sure I do great quality work for my customers. Are you already doing doing jobs for customers? If so, did you stop using the Puremax and now only use Geoshield?

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Ghosting week require a smoother, more even and spread out shrink. Look at my old "ryk shrink" using 2 heart guns with an over/under setup. That would be my suggestion.

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Hey all, I am not a pro tinter but more or less just someone who likes to experiment / DIY. Wanted to ask if there was anyone here who has used the Geoshield "Geo" line for automotive purposes? I really like the color, but I get really bad ghosting for anything that requires decent shrinking. The film is specced as architectural, but has a PS adhesive so some use it in auto applications. I sent an email to see if that is the reason why it's for flat glass .. lol This is a sputtered TiN film and has a beautiful color imho. This reminds me of Huper Optik, and not quite sure but I think Johnson had a line called "InsulatIR" that I could never get my hands on to try. The film has a slightly purplish reflection (TiN I guess), when put on green auto glass, filters out and looks super neutral. ❤️ I've had it on my auto for a while but my rear window is a mess when the sun hits it (ghosting) and was curious if this is just not suitable for auto Any info would be appreciated. Skill issue, ie: shrink with lower heat? lol Thanks.

      chameleon window tint good quality

      If you don't mind trying to source some, there is a large Japanese manufacturer that makes a bunch of dichroic - looking films. It might be your style, but it would be hard to get your hands on some. https://www.braintec.co.jp/filmlab/ I believe some of the films do have decent heat-rejection, but because of the nature of the films, looking through them can be really funky. They are well-known in Japan and would likely be of decent quality. Also, very expensive. Depending on where you are, shipping would also be $$$.

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      I feel the difference in quality with geoshield. Not only is it easier to peel the liner off but shrinking feels better and I think the material feels slightly thicker(helps with not creasing) Only downside that the price noticeably different. For mainly everything Its atleast another 100 on top of for example stuff from tints Lexen. I haven’t tried solarfree either.

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      At least twice, yes. Although since we don't know what vehicle it is you're planning to tint, that was a bit presumptuous of me.

      The History of Window Tinting

      Interesting post, the first piece of window film installed " TRANSPARENT AND REFLECTING ARTICLE" from 3M was installed in the summer of 1959 . at that time the company that installed the film was Columbia Building Maintenance and at that time the film did not have an adhesive.
