I did a little research on this product when it was brought up in previous threads and I believe it may have an impact on us at some point in the FUTURE.It looks like IMHO it may affect you automotive folks first and may carve out a small nitch of the flat glass arena too. But I think the cost right now for both markets is way too high to be overly concerned about but bares watching to see if they can bring the production cost down to a sensible level for the average consuner.

I have no idea what it would cost to put this technology in cars but I did find this site http://www.infinitint.com/ that listed some actual prices for some window and skylight units. The SF cost for the 24'x36' casement is $287.00 per

I imagine the conversation would go something like this

"Well No Ma'am my window film is not variable but I can save you about $280.00 a square foot" :thumb

:thumb at these prices I won't loose much sleep over it :lol and this does not include the $60.00 per hour or so electrican to power it up either !!!

:thumb I wonder how they will limit the percentage and control it as far as the various state tint laws are concerned ? if they put it on the front door and or windshields and you run it up to max it could be a problem day or night :thumb

The technology is open to anyone at this time... some comapnies have stayed out until the development matures enough to make jumping in worthwhile to their bottom line. :lol

And... as I understand it, the electricity is needed to keep the view clear... :lol

What's a person to do when the electricity is out... cave dwelling most futuristic... :thumb

From the prices listed above, remember blinds won't be purchased, or any of the usual purchases that go with window addenda to bring them to residential levels of decoration. And trust me, that can be hundreds of dollars per window. I think the penetration is into flat glass first and cars later.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
