“We are putting CPFilms’ resources into selling to large building owners.”

-Ray Collar

“For the dealers we have that are already capable of doing this, we have no intention of taking over all of the sales for this type of business.”

-Lisa Winkler

2 people working for the same company with 2 conflicting statements. How do they intend to do one without inadvertently doing the other? :cool

3-M and AEGIS does that.....

I would like to thank Keith Carter for calling me....

CPfilms is NOT biding on jobs..They are going in to see how much they can save in energy costs for the Architectural and commercial companys!..then they will turn around and go to a reputable tint shop that buys film from CP..and lets them know how much they need to bid the job for if they want it!!!!

:hmmm

Ok... :thumb

wow. I've never read such angry responces to this matter. I've been here on this forum now for years but had to create a new account.(not logged in for a looong time) anyways, I am using this platform to hear everybody and the messages.

I was wondering and I thought that this has been there practice as well as 3M's to talk to big clients that most shops dont talk to anyway because of to much searching around. they go strait to the bull! "I could ask a butcher how a t-bone steak taste, but I would rather as the bull" or something like that right? my point being if you are not doing high end jobs 5-10-20k+ sqft already, you probly won't. I dont agree with it and I also agree with it. its alot to concern yourselves about and think that its getting good feed, but big corps and privte corps go strait to the MGF anyways 90% of the time. at least the MGF are not using or hiring there own installers. then we would all have really something to cry about. the MGF is going to give the job to a dealer that is capable of handling such jobs. If you want big jobs like that go get them. you can wait for them. you win some you loose some. I just hope the MGF solutia, 3M, solar gard etc. fairly disburse jobs out.

I hope I sound like I know what im righting about, if not my bad! have a good night!

Most companies won't experience losing big FG jobs to the Dist's & Mfg's because "big" to most companies is 1000 sq ft. 5-10-25k is not "high-end" -imo... it's a warm up. :lol

Once they get over 25k sq ft the gloves come off and it is a different game.

If you think MFG's do not sub-contract installers, think again. There is no "fair disbursement," that is a dream and a hope... certainly not a reality. The MFG's will channel jobs when convenient, but if they do not have a dealer then they have to look elsewhere. Bottom line, they want the sale, they will take the sale... maybe you will get the install but then what does that make you? :lol

      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!
