Comparisons: Made In The Shade Inc. Vs 3M Window Film

Comparisons:

Made In The Shade Inc.  Vs 3M Window Film

Every aspect of Made In The Shade Inc. : the superior products we offer; the unmatched warranties, optical clarity, and the superior level of tests our films have passed; the varied Products we carry that can offer a full solution to your Solar Energy Problems; our installation capabilities, are all critically designed winning advantages.  It certainly doesn't hurt our cause that we know more about their films than the folks who represent them in your markets.
Let's review the balance sheet.

Consumers have heard of 3M.  They have been around more than 100 years. They make lots of innovative products and they have earned their place in the consumer's mind share.

If their window film was an industry leading product, If their films were superior in performance, durability or unique in some fashion that had applicability in your home or office, they would be a worthy adversary.

They are not.

Our hurdle is to demonstrate to our clients that  our Products and solutions are factually superior:

That these Film facts are documented with NFRC ratings and independent testing. That our choices are deeper and wider and that our estimates are exact and based on realistic cost parameters.

That we are offering fact over perception, reality over overpriced hype and Solutions over a single Brand!

Here's a short list of our Film advantages:

  • We offer Dual reflective films in more light transmissions from more manufactures including 5,8,13, 14, 18, 23, 25, 28, 30, 35, 38, 40 and 45% VLT's
  • Our EnerLogic or Low E film's have twice the insulating value compared to their limited LE Films.
  • Our Low E film's have a lifetime warranty while their warranty is 5 years.
  • Our Ceramic films are patented. It's a dual layer while theirs is a re-boxed single layer.
    Their ceramic is only available in a maximum 5 ft width and has a greater exterior and interior reflectivity with less heat rejection.
  • Our security films have passed the ASTM medium large missile test and small missile on residential applications.  Their tear resistant films (with the exception of a 6 ML clear films) can not pass these independent levels of performance and are limited to 60" widths.
  • Optical clarity? See for yourself but we'd be happy to do a side by side mock-up.

  • Our films can be cleaned with Windex. That canard by our 3M competition hasn't been true since the 1970's and  I would know since I was an Advanced Certified Trainer with the 3M Company for over 12 years!.  There is absolutely no advantage in the 3M hard coat versus our films. NONE. In fact we would love to show you the hard coat on their prestige films. Really. We have proof from years of warranty claims as a former 3M Dealer!
  • All films work better at an angle . Not just theirs, and no- -they did not invent a unique test to prove the obvious.  On that note, their prestige film does not block 97% of the entire infrared spectrum. Read their small print. 
  • The Total Prestige Line is not Safe for Dual Pane Glass! We have several Spectral Select Films that are Safe!
  • We offer more films that are rated higher by the N.F.R.C. in performance than 3M! Especially VKool!
So our challenge when we meet with our prospective clients, is to determine their needs and identify exactly why Made In The Shade Inc. has the better overall solution and therefore, value for our clients.
Call it busting myths!

The result:
We win! YOU Win!
Win! Win!

Modern Window Covering Options for your Sliding Patio Door

Sliding glass doors or patio doors are quite common in many of our homes these days.  While this is an excellent way to open up living space, and bring in the sunlight and natural beauty of the outdoors, like all good things, they have their drawbacks.  Due to the large expanse of glass, high glare, damaging ultra violet rays, and heat are also brought into our homes.  With the proper window covering on these doors, we can enjoy the benefits without losing more than we gain.

Virtually any type of window covering can be added to a sliding glass door.  It is usually the case however that the sliding door is a high traffic door, and as such, traditional horizontal window coverings can prove to be heavy and hard to lift fully.  Typically, it is preferred that a vertical window covering is used, and that it opens the same direction the door does thus allowing for ease of operation.

Today we have many options of vertical window coverings to choose from which allows us to create the exact look we want and have just the right amount of light control and privacy we require for any room in our home.

 Vertical shades are the most well know type of covering for sliding doors.  These coverings have really come a long way in the design department.  No longer are you limited to  the commercial looking verticals, today verticals come in a huge array of styles and materials, allowing you to easily compliment any decor.



If you have shutters on the rest of your windows, fear not, you can also have bypass shutters custom made for your sliding doors. These  shutters of course operate like traditional shutters, so you can control the amount of light through the louvers.


Vertical cellular shades are not only an attractive alternative which allows you to carry the same type of window treatment throughout your home, they are also very energy efficient, and great for privacy.  The only way to see through these blinds is to have them open.


Panel Track coverings are modern, sleek and stylish.  Available in multiple fabric types and densities you can filter light and view, or block it out completely.  These coverings are great for large expanses as you can order them up to 16ft. wide if needed.

Made In The Shade, Inc offers these and other fine window coverings from multiple manufacturers.

Another alternative may be Film or Sun Screens!
  • If night time privacy is essential then a frosted decorative or glass pattern may work for you. The down side will be that you can not see in or out but you can choose how much light you want to retain with Decorative films
  • If night time privacy is not essential a Sun Control Window Film is Ideal. If you want as much light as possible, then an Spectral Select film is ideal! These films allow in visible light but remove 99.9% of Harmful and Damaging light and as much as 98% of all Infra Red Light! You may chose a Dark Film which can be Reflective or Neutral and even non reflective! If you have City Light Views then a Dual Reflective is ideal!
  • Sunscreens offer excellent Day time privacy and outstanding heat reduction! 
You may need both a Covering and Film or Screens for reasons such as
  • Fade Reduction ( Coverings only work when closed and need protection from the Sun! )
  • Added Heat reduction ( Enjoy more of your day with the coverings open)
  • Glare Reduction when the covering is open
  • Day time privacy when your covering is open!
Whatever your need in controlling Solar Energy through your glazing we can help solve it!

Drivers Suffering From Left Side Skin Cancer

Phoeniz/Arizona' s Solution- Window Tinting!

 
"People may be surprised to learn that car windows don't provide complete sun protection," said Perry Robins, president of The Skin Cancer Foundation . "Ultraviolet radiation reaches us in the form of shortwave UVB and long-wave UVA rays , but glass blocks only UVB effectively."

The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends the following ways to protect your skin, particularly when spending extended time in the car:

* Treat your vehicle to window film: Transparent window film screens out almost 100 percent of UVB and UVA without reducing visibility, and is available in all 50 states. If you have window film installed, remember that it protects you only when the windows are closed. When shopping for window film, be sure to check if the product has The Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation."

This is a compelling reason to consider the installation of our Automotive Films!
 
Most of our clients are concerned about the heat and glare and want the best optical clarity and performance. Most drivers are not aware of the UV damage that unprotected glass can cause.                                                                     

 Enjoy a 50% discount on non Winco Films when you provide your AAA Membership card!  

Call TODAY and start protecting You and Your Loved ones from the Sun's Damaging Rays!
