Comparing Singapore Solar Film Companies

[Yuan]

Some of these solar films come together with the car as a package when you bought it.

 

It should last a while.

Hi all,

 

I been wanting to do up my solar films for my car as the weather is terrible these days. And went on to understand and enquiry about the different types of solar films offered in Singapore.

 

To my surprise some Top brands do not seem to offer very good types of solar films and instead its the lesser known companies that do

 

I understand that Metallic films will cause IU/GPS interference and are the lesser preferred. And IR% would be most important for heat rejection. I asked for their top specs and for my mid-size saloon BMW 320I and all LTA approved.

 

Below are my findings for each

 

Brand_____________Type of Solar Film____________Front IR%________________Rear IR%_______________Cost

 

Huber Optik___________Nano-Ceramic_________________45______________________87____________________1100

V- Kool______________Metalllic-Film_________________77_____________________98_____________________1200

Absolute Tint__________Nano-Ceramic__________________95_____________________95_____________________480

Rike Cool_____________Nano-ceramic__________________80_____________________90___________________1600

Tintsy Cool_____________Nano-Ceramic__________________90_____________________90______________________949

 

Verdict - I decided on Absolute Tint that proves the best value and highest specs for both front and rear.

 

It was quite shocking to know that the big brands are over-charging and not proving as good films as I thought they have.

[Silver_blade]

I have tried V-kool, Cool N Lite, Rike Cool...I feel V-kool is the best of all. But that was in yr 2000...not sure if the material has gone better or worse since then.

You seems to miss out 3M in your research but from what I know, their current highest grade is abt 7-800+

[Dennis78]

I was previously in the solar film industry and from my opinion, the big guys have heavily marked up their prices.

 

Seems like Absolute Tint is doing a "Sheng Siong" on them. 1-up for the consumers!

Thinking upgrading my solar film.

But the more I see newly created user praising a certain brand, the more I am wary of it.
