Hi Vquest,

I think we agree, but have our signals crossed.

When you say exterior - do you mean the #1 surface? I was not suggesting that. You are right, it would not be approved for that.

I meant that the film was primary intended for application to the #2 surface of an exterior single pane window and was indicated for glare and heat control.

As far as "interior usage" as eluded to in this thread: I thought you were saying that it was intended for glass partitions between offices which were not exposed to the sun (i.e. on the interior of a building). I meant to say that the film was not intended primarly for those types of apps.

Make sense?

Sure does Howard :beer

I see that Huper does not publish the TSEa for the subject film. Reference: http://www.huperoptikusa.com/ceramic-series.cfm

How does one go about determining DP compatibility without that information?

The VLR is only 11 on that product and the VLT is 30, which suggests a TSEa >54.

Is it dual pane compatible?

The Huper Optik F2G Recommendation works very well in determining compatibility. Or dealers can just call their distributor. :beer

absorbtion is not published because it is on the high side and most would not recommend it if it were published from my understanding. That is why they never published it on thier literature or spec cards. They say its not important for the consumer to know these specs which they are probably right as most consumers dont know what it means however it does mean alot to the dealer or installing company. I have hung 1000's of sq of huper and the 30% is a really good looking film but I would stick to 40% or lighter VLT for dual pane. Just my personal oppinion.

DL 15 has high interior reflectivity and a minimal exterior reflectivity.

Forgive me if I am having a "Medicare Moment" and looking at the entirely wrong film:

Llumar DL15

VLRi = 9

VLRe = 10

Neither side is particularly shiny and there is virtually no difference from one side to the other.

-Howard

Sorry meant R-15G

EVR=13%

IVR=61%

They did not want mirror looking exterior or I would of went with a Silver 20

Tim I'm not sure what your agenda is but as a competing supplier you seem to take an interest in also representing Huper Optik films today.

I know some great people that work for Hanita and I've hung a lot of Hanita products and I have customers that tell me about their experiences... would you mind if I represent your brand and give my personal opinion? :facepalm2

Quest I mean no disrespect toward your films that you represent,and I definatly have no agenda. I appoligize if you think I do, as I said before I think Huper is a great looking film and they have some great products, thier Drei and Sech are very nice films as well as thier ceramic line. I was just speaking toward the absorbtion on the C-30. I have no issues with you speaking of the products we have, I know we have some great products as do you in the Huper family. Some films are better for certain situations then others as you stated in other posts. Again I mean no disrespect and I am not bashing your products, I have mentioned several times today that huper is a great looking film.

      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!
