Hey all,

 

I can see 2 scenario's...

 

1. MEP take on the rights to distribute SunTek in Aus and NZ.

2. Eastman take a more factory direct approach and setup all Eastman owned brands under 1 roof.

 

My mail is on number 2.

If so, MEP will be left with Madico and SunGard.

And the Castle Hill warehouse (which is now an Eastman asset) will distribute Llumar, SunTek, Vcool, Enerlogic, Huber Optik, Vista, etc..)

 

If nothing changes, then Eastman's 2 major brands will be competing directly with each other here in Aus.

Very unlikely.

Interesting times ahead for those who have a stake in these brands..

Factory direct seems the more plausible outcome.

This seems to be the preferred business model at the moment world wide and should be for some time yet with the squeeze on margins by intense competition the likes of which we have never really seen before.

Maybe a little Birdie might be dusting off his feathers.

Interesting times ahead indeed.

      70% Expel Plus on windshield ripple fix

      Any way to fix a very annoying/dangerous rippling effect on the front windshield without redoing the entire thing? Charms seem to “jump” every so slightly making the driver a little dizzy during driving.

      help arquitectural in Puerto Rico heat

      Hi, new to the forum but a previous lurker. Was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on tints for a business in Puerto Rico who's windows face north (humidity 80% temp 70-100). Main concern is heat reduction though i would like for it to not be super dark since it is a work area. Have not contacted installers yet since I wanted to have some knowledge about products and specs beforehand to make sure im getting what i need. Thank you! From what i've gathered i should look out for: dual reflective film and low absorptive/high solar reflection products used this topic among others for research: "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." "The higher the reflectivity of a film product, the better when dealing with desert heat."

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I had it removed and gave up on the window. I guess I'm too picky to have the window done...

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      It looks like the end of the roll was used which has adhesive marks from being attached to the plastic core. You can't use the very end of the film roll.

      South facing windows DR film

      Install went great. I went with NV-25, I am very happy. The room has been darkened significantly, from bright and hot to much more pleasant and enjoyable. Watching TV during the day is no longer blinding, when it is cloudy it is definitely a bit gloomy, I am glad I did not go with NV-15. I plan on getting more windows done in the future to help cut down on heat energy. Thanks for everyone's input!
