kthc 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2009 I've gotten a quote from 3M, they have $6-$7psf range. Didn't get a proper quote yet because I haven't give her my window sizes. Maybe too reflective for my liking but are they others in the market which can block out heat >80% and yet not so reflective? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup there is 6-7 dollars but reflective and may not be approved by the condo management. The 12-14 bucks are clearer types Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thecore 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2009 Hi! I'm also thinking of getting solar film for my windows. I just submitted a quotation request via the sun-x website. Any other suppliers to recommend? TIA! can try sunshield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kthc 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2009 Hi All, Gotten quotations from Sun-X ($5.60psf) & Llumar($4+ - $7) (Window Cool) solar films, both more or less similar pricing to cover my west facing windows. Any idea which brand is better? Read from above that Sun-x’s life span is only 5 years but the plus point is they are used in Changi T3 (from its website)… How about Perfect Windows as an alternative?

beany0811 1 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 i just checked the v-kool singapore website; the range of solar films they have for residential is i-que - these are a few different kinds, and you can check the estimated costs on the website for your length of windows. http://www.v-kool.com.sg/Get_IQue.asp?cat=archi doesn't come cheap tho....at least not for the length of windows i entered Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Topline 1 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 Hmm, look like if I was something to reduce heat, it will be reflective? Sigh... isn't there something that can reduce heat and yet be approved by condo? I also have afternoon sun issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatgirl10 1 Report post Posted August 6, 2009 thinking about installing solar film. anyone with feedback on its effectiveness? If I am not wrong, all solar film comes with the specifications. So as long as we choose the ones with higher heat rejection, it should be good enough. And I do not want to want to pay such a high price for those like 3M which cost about $15 per sqft.
