I have been contacted by Sun-Tek about buying their films. Would like to get the REAL info by other installers who have used the flat glass films on a regular basis. How does the film lay, any problems with curling, warranty issues, reflectiveness on dual pane glass, basically overall performance with film and mfg. also what would you say what other mfgs line of film it would compare to. THANKS IN ADVANCE

Good film, I almost solely sell Symphony series. Awesome heat rejection. Very clear too. Only complaint is not a huge selection of flat glass film options.

I mostly use the neutral series. IDS is pretty close to the N10 stuff from Llumar. Look is exactly the same and the feel is really close, too. All their flatglass line is thin like Llumars. Liner comes off easy, no real issues with curling other than it being a dry adhesive and rolling it too tight will make it curl. Just put it on with dirt off and you won't have any problems. I haven't been using it long enough to know of any long term issues but from what I've heard it's good stuff. Suntek also has some of the best customer service. Ask them and they will probably send you a few sample rolls to try. Like the other guy said, they don't have too many options, especially with tinted safety films.

We switched to suntek 7 years ago because they don't bid against us on large projects like madcow and lulu do. I bid 2 office towers about 3 years ago with their I-35 Bronze. Charged 20% more than the local vista/lulu dealer was and got it after they compared samples. We send installers at night and pay um $30.00 per pane R&R. Takes about an hour to do 4 or 5 of them. As the building leases each floor and renovates they do film at the same time. Reason we took the job from the other dealer is they worked 8 to 5 and disrupted the work place. We avoid filming occupied professional sites if we can. They have as good a fg film as lulu or madcow and good price too!

Took the words right out of my mouth. Also what masterrider said about useing X-100/Dirtoff is a must for the Dry Adhesive.

I really like their flat glass films. The ultravision films rock and they now have it in a 40%. They also just came out with a new DR film to compete with lulu's dr film.

I heard that a MFG accelerate tested ultravision and it lost 10% of its performance. :lol

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
