dudes,

I've removed plenty of film(lulu,solar gard,maddy,vkool,johnson,and mmm). it doesn't matter what you sell, it will have to be R&R eventually. if custy were to ask about another film, I say "they're a good company, I can't say anything bad about them", then continue with my suggestion. if they continue with the other film, now I know they want the other film, I pulled the other sample of film they want out. I carried all brands, I didn't deny custy anything. I provided a service-a good film installed correctly.

I too am in the group that has used 3M for years and have found no real failures in the tint. Since their Color stable came out, I have had no failures...none. I'm not saying they are the best... I don't know that they are or they aren't. I've used Johnson and Lumar in the past ( 9 years ago) and didn't mind them either. But I find 3M decent to shrink ( beetle no prob ) and easy to work with. Is it maybe a case of what you're used to working with? Just my 1.5 cents.

I too have also installed a lot, my opinion is that llumar makes a lot of very good films,3M CS film is also good, and SG's UP is VERY nice. I wont waste my time on any others. I may save money switching films, but I dont see any failures with the lines I carry right now. not taking any risks.

I never bad mouth a mfg to a customer either, but I do try and make my product look better, or seem like a better value anyway.

Just for clarity on this. Im refering to their flat glass films not auto. I have never used mmm auto so

I have no opinion of it

Good thing...MMM Panther......*cringe* :bingo

they should be laughing at themselves for not being able to make a film that will not turn purple so fast. idiots.

they laugh at they're dealers who buy they're shiatty film who cant sell film unless they're using "brand" name film.

you're speaking about dealers you've never met outside of your own territory so who are you to judge how well they sell? and for the record, you use some johnsons right? ive seen PLENTY of that shiat looking like shiat. whatever

good luck selling your stereos LOL

you want to post pictures of all the film failures johnson has? idiot. :lol2

and yes I have met 3m dealers outside my area and believe me, im not impressed.

3M is the #1 company in window tint failures (history) any window film installer veteran

will tell you that. sure you can sell the shiat because it has brand recognition and I dont

hate them for that, but boy does that stuff go bad. :lol

oh and thanks for the good luck on the stereos. :lol2

If you choose to slam 3M you should have your facts straight. 3M actually pushed the auto color stable envelope with their highly successful CS series. It probably was the first "nice looking" full range of color stable auto film that came out around 2002. Madico's Charcool was earlier but not as nice in color.

tint, each post you make is a reflection of your intelligence, or lack of intelligence. I'm not an idiot and you don't know me so I'd appreciate it if you could reserve those comments for someone else.

      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 Window Tint - Suntek SYDS vs. Solar Gard Slate vs. Madico Optivision

      Did you get this taken care of? What were the results and are you pleased?

      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.

      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.
