I once put up some film that usually gets great results but this time the customer calls back saying "it's still too hot..." So I go back and look at it, come to find out there was no air circulation in the room so basically the film just made it so the room took a little longer to heat up to the same temperature. Since then, I have learned to ask questions, look around and perceive what might be a problem before I open my pie hole and recommend a film. I'm not trying to "bitch slap"... just sharing some experience here.

darrin1 has a great point. Some of these dark reflective films cause more problems than there were before it was installed. Good to ask questions 1st...

Well, isn't that what film does...slow the heat down? They do know the a/c still has to be on right?

Maybe Im just a punk, but I wouldnt say sh!t about bad circulation being the cause of a hot room, I wanna sell the film! Or I might tell em to buy a fan.

When I go out a bid a home, if they are asking me to cool down a bonus room (those rooms above a garage) I inform them that window film will reduce heat coming in through the windows, not the heat rising from the garage itself, so unless they have overkill of insulation above the garage I suggest they start their before I sell them film. If you ask these questions first, you will know if the film is the right solution to reducing their energy load. What will happen if you apply a dark film to your friends room and they aren't happy with the temperature results?

We all want to sell film, but we want to do so with great results without legit consumers calling back asking why the ambient temperature of their rooms aren't cooler than what they expected. I have a testimonial from a customer that chose my competitor to tint his home office windows, and he isn't happy with the end result. From his perspective, he paid to have film installed, and he has no heat rejection just privacy. This consumer is so upset, he wants me to pass out his number to everyone of my prospects so he can tell them not to use my competition or their product. Vclimber is just trying to prevent you from losing a friend....

It would seem to me the other company AND customer are at fault. Although the competitor may have put auto film, maybe not, the customer should make an informed decision. If he had no spec chart to look at, of the film the competitor was offering, shame on him. Ive been out on bids and seen samples up that are most likely automotive, and I ask the customer if they recieved any spec charts of the sample film. A lot of times, they say no (probably b/c it is auto film). As I hand them mine, I ask them how do they know what the performance of the film is w/o a spec chart? The point is, if they are gullible enough to trust what someone they have never met before says, shame on them.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
