McGap Solar Films

[Prata]

Hi...

 

would like to know if anyone done their solar film by McGap - www.mcgap.com ?? Their films seemed to have a decent heat rejection of (F:62%, R:56%) for $400++ package. Supposedly, they will also issue a warranty certificate with the VLT ratings...

 

any feedback is greatly appreciated... thanxx..

Try RayBarrier...cheaper....think on par or better heat rejection....

 

They are charging $250 for whole car tinting there, value for money if u ask me....(lower heat rejection of course)

[Prata]

Thought RayBarrier is premium stuff and is quite ex?? $250 package from perfect films?? if i'm not mistaken the LexTint economy from perfect is only <30% in the rear?

 

wow... if really RayBarrier all round, then no need to wait liao..:P

If my memory doesnt fails me, it's about 300plus...still cheaper than Mcgap...All films have different grades and specs and of course price$$

 

I did the $250 and felt that the car is actually less hot(i was sceptical about the specs but heck, go for it, cheap and good).

i was actaully impressed by McGap's demo of their films - they got a device to show the heat rejection of their films; my hand felt very cool when placed under their film (58-62%) and the best part is that the VLT is 50%... i do not prefer dark tints..

 

Cost & heat rejection is the top priority... budget < $400; may check out perfect films if the heat rejection is more superior

I realise that there are 2 important specs........

 

IRR = infra-red rejection

SHR = heat rejection

TSEB = Total Solar Energy Blocked

 

Actually we should be looking more on total solar energy blocked.

 

Can any1 give advice further.....

[Lawsu]

Any1 can advice...as I am deciding on

 

AS Cool

 

Visible Light Transmittance: 25%/ 70%

Ultraviolet Blocked: 98%

Total Solar Energy Block: 90%

 

Cool Custom

 

Front Windscreen + All Front Windows

75% Light Transmittance

46% Heat Rejection

 

Rear Windscreen + All Rear Windows

30% Light Transmittance

62% Heat Rejection

 

-UV Rejection for all Tints are at 99%

 

It seems that heat rejection X= total solar energy block.

I did mine at cool custom. That's the one having the do 3 get 1 free right? Pretty decent i must say. Workers are experienced and the film works most importantly. Under sunlight won't feel the searing heat anymore even through front windscreen. No idea abt the other one so cant compare .... sorry ....

[Lawsu]

Hi...do they do it in clean environment or in open space har....

 

I heard if open space...got dust particles.

[Johnchong]

How about V-kool or Huper Optik or Cool n Lite?

 

I tot of getting Huper Optik, cuz it uses ceramics.

[Boon75]

Hiez..

 

I did mine with McGap film..IMHO, I think their workmanship is pretty good and the boss is very friendly.. now they are having promotions (should be, saw it on wheels, can't remember how much)..can go down and chat with their boss if you have any queries

 

my 2 cts

It's somewhat indoor but no air-con room (yet). I was concerned abt that also, but they guarantee if got dirt, free redo. Mine so far didnt see any dirt yet. Give them a visit before deciding.
