If you want too become a 3M Window Film Dealer, I can post a link so anyone can inquire on doing so if you want.

Ok........So can anyone else with internet access....... http://solutions.3m....ecome-a-Dealer/

your first post in this thread should have said, Do Not waste your time trying to order PR film.

Now take note of this statement Mike. I am not reading into anything more than what you have put in black and white, unlike you who seems to know what I am thinking....or "insinuating". It seems here this would be discouraging somebody from inquiring about their film..... :gasp We all know there are obstacles to get around, hoops to jump and territories to buy in order to become a prestige dealer.... But why in the world should that have been my first post Mike? Maybe that should have been your first post....

You can say that you had just suggested it, I still stand by my reply to you regarding that subject

I wouldn't give them too much information about the job in your inquiry..... :twocents

Do you make a habit of taking job leads and laying them out for many/dist. that you don't do business with?

Read it Mike. It's right there. Where did I say anything about them asking anything....or even infer????? I said and referred to the act of willfully GIVING information.

All he had too do was, tell the GC that he was not a 3M Window Film Dealer.

That's all any film company has to do when a potential job pops up. But what....if....they.....want......to.....become.....a.....dealer? :yep

BTW, believe it or not, 3M reads threads on this forum, and they know who I am and where I work, as do a lot of other members on here.

I believe it....especially by the way you defend them so devoutly. Why are you trying to discourage people away from 3M Mike? Do you feel they are not worthy?

Mike, put your love affair with 3M aside for a moment and reread my posts. Then refer to Tom's post about what I was insinuating. You have your answer, stop making up %&$# and read what I actually wrote.

FWIW,.....We have had to use PR in the past. It is possible to get it, not exactly as easy as calling MMM and ordering a couple rolls, but not impossible to attain.

It is my understanding awhile back, 3M was looking for someone selling 3M PR film to a non 3M PR dealer or other, I suppose you would not want too post where you got the film Tom..........?

It is probably best if I don't

I think the bigger worry of most dealers is a MFG or Dist getting ahold of project info and circumventing the dealer to make a direct sale. It happens, I had it happen to me when I was a dealer, I know countless dealers that it has happened too clear up to the tune of $1m sale...

My advice would be to hold your cards close to your chest and not give out too much info unless you can trust your supplier. Ask a supplier what their track record is in this dept. I can say we have never done it, I just tell people to go ask my customers...

I can get it too but what's the point when you can't write a warranty for it? :dunno

On this last particular job, we were only required to provide a 1 year warranty on material and workmanship. This is actually pretty common on commercial work here. We have a standard warranty letter we issue when required, In all my years I have never had film fail in less than a year....not even PR. ( provided it was not visually faulty out of the box) So we do issue a warranty.

I always wondered who he was, I always figured he worked for huper..If he was still alive he'd be all over a prestige thread,he wouldn't be able to stand it :spit He used to get under my skin at times when I tried to defend 3M threads but I later realized he was right most the time and I have to say I learned a lot from that guy, he was the most knowledgeable I've ever seen on TD I always

read everything he put out there..

      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.

      Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?

      South facing window tint

      Forgot to mention; if your house is under HOA, you may have to check in with them. Some, eh hem, many seemingly shy away from having a reflective look to the glass. A dual reflective with a visible light transmission of 35% (ex: NV35) would likely be more palatable to HOA, but not so happy for the owner. Your position to take with them is: The higher the reflectivity of a film product, the better when dealing with desert heat. There exists a necessary (physics) compromise in every window film transaction. Can't please all parties. Glad I could help educate.

      Thank you very much Tinguy1980, I was just about to mess it up. I appreciate your insight! I would have never guessed that the products I was thinking about "run counterintuitive to the use of the product" for the excessive heat. Frankly it does get so hot in that room that at this point I am less about how it looks and more about performance, during summer the AC never stops running in that room, electricity prices here in Las Vegas is up there hence I am trying to invest in ways to cool that room down. Once more thank you for your help I do appreciate it.

      Personally knowing what it's like in Vegas when it's hot, I would stir clear of any film TSER performance value less than 60% or a solar heat gain value greater than 40%. Prestige does not fit this and would be a big waste of good money. Huper Optiks' ceramic products have high solar energy absorption rates, so in hot environments these kind high absorptive films run counterintuitive to the use of the product while using air conditioning to cooling the interior. High absorption on the inside pane, where most films are applied will radiate that absorbed heat toward the room. Outside breezes across the exterior surface of the window will not be as effective in cooling down the interior than say a low absorptive film, high solar reflection film product. In this case, low absorptive/high solar reflection products should be a go-to such as: 3M's Night Vision15 or NV25, Vista Film's Dual Reflective18 or DR 28, LLumar's DR15 or DR25 (which closely matches 3M NV), or Madico's Optivision in and around the same number assignment. The numbers assigned to films represent the visible light transmission of the product. When a dealer comes out to assess and likely have and leave samples, use the samples as sunglasses by wrapping over your eyes a viewing out and in the room. This gives you a more precise idea of what the film will look like once applied. A small sample placed on the glass will always appear darker than having the entire panel tinted. Good luck.
