Spectra photosync tint near me series#
You could find similar heat rejection in 3M’s cheaper film, 3M Color Stable Series of tints, but you’d have to go with the darkest (50 tint) in that series. Ranking determined by comparing the spread or ratio between the TSER (Total Solar Energy Rejection) to VLT (Visible Light Transmitted).Įxample : 3M Crystalline 90, (3M’s lightest tint shade) has a TSER of 34. List sorted in descending order, most effective heat reduction technology at top.It is the amount of visible light that passes directly through filmed glass. Internationally, TSER is used as a guide as it is a more accurate method of measurement. However, IRR only covers a fraction of TSER. Some companies use Infra Red Rejection (IRR) as a guide to the level of heat rejection. The higher the percentage, the higher the percentage of solar energy deflected. TSER includes visible light, infrared radiation and ultraviolet energy. TSER stands for Total Solar Energy Rejected.Thought I would share the comparative list I generated in the process. So I took the time to research this issue.
** NOT MY POST(S) - copy and pasted from another forum ** :Īfter visiting several tint shops in my area, I returned home very confused, having heard differing story lines from the sales people. The tint data listed below is a bit dated, please help by adding to this knowledge base whenever possible. Product expectations or disappointments, customer service and warranty care (if needed or used)ĭoing the above will help others find quality tint at affordable pricing, while supporting local shops in your area.The total out the door price paid for the work.The chosen tint(s), and on how many windows.The name of the shop, location, and person who installed the tint.But going forward it would be great if people who've had tint installed could post informative comments that include things like : Many here have, and others still haven't.
