Where to find rolls longer than 60"

Blktint · July 17, 2013

Got a job coming up. 3 large office windows measuring 71"x94" (height/width) Most distributors have rolls up to 60". I don't wana do this in 2 piece. Can howard whip out a roll longer than 60"?

Most mannys and distributors have 72". Just look around and DON"T seam those. You don't need to.

I found that MaxPro and Efw have 72" options on the reflective lines. Customer was really looking for something less reflective. Also last thing I am worried about is if I can remember I measured 71" give or take. It was a quick slap the tape down and glance. If the window was to exceed 72 inches I would not have much options anymore. Trying to find something where I have a bit of tolerance such as 80"+

You won't find a roll over 72".

Suntek / Lulu have 72" rolls...

I think more manu's don't then do... Very annoying. Just talked with a rep yesterday about it.... I don't know if it's just here in the north east or what, but 61" + windows are very common....

It's one of my biggest pet peeves with the manu side of things.....

And yeah... blah blah blah... machines are expensive... whatever. No different then telling a customer you can't tint a high skylight cause you don't want to pay $$$ for a ladder that can reach it. If you want to be IN this biz, be in it.

My stock has more 72's than 60's. As a matter of fact I have more 48's verses 60's

Exactly. With the exception of 58 x whatever on a storefront, 60" doesn't get used much.

Of course the jobs I rack up ends up being the largest window on the block. I Guess the customer will have to understand its 72" or no go. Tell em " Its guna cost extra for me to install larger window seals." " I left a gap on the edges so the glass can breath"
