Then prove it with a fair test on video. I'm not saying you are wrong but I'm pretty sure we all want to compare the same tint percentage. We all know a factory Corvette will outrun a Mustang GT but we still want to see V8 vs V8 not V8 Corvette vs V6 Mustang.

Bet you don't even own a car.@@ryanfrench11B68W

@@ryanfrench11B68W very smart lmao 20% already won, 5% vs 5% win even more..

Heat doesn't come in via the windows, but via roof and other parts. Tinting actually should make it hotter according to tests. Heat has less opportunity to escape the cabin. But not a huge difference as the heat source, as said, is not primarily the window.

@@QnA22 It is the direct sunlight you want to block from coming through your windows! You do not feel the heat from the sun through your roof! Have you ever driven your car in cold weather and then the sun shines through the window onto your arm, You can clearly feel the heat! That is what makes ceramic film so good it blocks the heat from direct sunlight! So in the summer when it is hot outside the ceramic film helps keep your car cooler! They actually have ceramic film that is virtually clear that they install on your windshield!

@@NeverEnoughPyro40 OK, i can get that. But isnt themain point being that you left your car in the blaring heat outside? No tinting will help you with that. I guess your example only comes into play when your car was in a nice cool garage. Tinted could help for the 1st....30 minutes?

@@QnA22 naw, just try putting car in the direct sun with and without it...huge diff!!

@@QnA22 🤣🤣🤡🤡

I believe any white man , except for fkg D. Trump 😎

Read my mind

Yep should have waited until everything came back to room temperature

You have no idea how long the sensor holds on to heat, to be fair.

not much scientific data, just his opinions

Import his stuff to Thailand and make a business out of cera-tinting windows 😎 you could probably offer to tint helmet windshields too if that's a thing

He would have my business if he didn’t so blatantly lie. He knows he’s deceiving people it’s disgusting. The french fry light is a joke, it produces 1/3 of the spectrum of the heat that the sun does. It is not the reality for a car outside. Ceramic film has its place in the lighter shades. However, when it comes to 20% or limousine Film, it performs maybe 2% to 5% better than a good HP series. Look at the TSER( Total Solar Energy Rejected ) that number is reality under the sun, not under a french fry light. I have around 26 years of experience and I’ve owned a business for over 23. It doesn’t mean I’m right; however, I would be happy to listen to you explain how I am wrong.

@@Zactor169 - The title of this video is "3 Things You Don't Know About Ceramic Window Film" ... and was very well presented ... because .., that is exactly what happened. My application is not car windows ... it is the windows in my house. Living close to the equator in Thailand, it gets very , very hot especially in rooms facing South and South - West. What I want to know is which type of material will reduce the heat, make it possible to still see outside easily, and not have problems later. To me, the heat lamp makes perfect sense because all I want to know is, "What is the affect on the rising sun, and when it heats up to 110' F outside ... in the SHADE ... what are you going to do about keeping my house cooler." So yes, the video taught me some factors to consider and be on the lookout for. I believe what you missed in the "French Fry Light" experiment is it does not matter if "produces 1/3 of the spectrum of the heat that the sun does" ... what matters is the RELATIVE performance of two materials tested in identical settings. One blocks HEAT better than the other ... which is my goal!

No matter what shade you get of ceramic it’s blocks the the same

The darkness does not indicate the amount of blockage with tint. So a five percent will block the same percentage as a thirty five percent in most cases

The same darkness of tint thing is irrelevant because he was showing the darker tint performed WORSE. Might have a point about the cooling down of the heat lamp though...

crocodile2006 that it true using the same percentage but if you want to show your customers a test. Me personally would like to know what the same percentage would be exact differences be.

There was no control test, he needs a temp gun on the plate to tell when it has reached ambient temp.

Dude if you put ceramic between you and hear there is little heat on you. If you use regular film you will feel almost all the heat.

marcjtdc ok your point is? yeah that may be true but I'm just replying to a half ass controlled test that it.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ms2Tm82pv5ulh58.html

Totally agree with you man.

There wouldn’t be a comparison...that’s why he compared the 20% Ceramic vs the 5% traditional. The 5% Ceramic would’ve blown the the traditional out of the water

He's over compensating the comparison. Even tho it's 5 percent the 20 percent ceramic lasted longer under the lamp. If 20 percent ceramic can beat 5 normal then obviously a 5 percent ceramic would beat it worse

i agree, how can you say the 5% film is better? the fk kind of test is this?

Yes. We do have samples. You can find them on our website. Www.flexfilmstore.com

Most factory tint does not add any significant performance value to glass. Usually is just for cosmetic reasons like glare reduction and privacy.

Your absolutely correct

Just slows it down. A Yeti cooler slows it down also and keeps the ice from melting over a long period of time. Thermal equilibrium always wins in the end.

Thank you, I was thinking the same thing

He went over 10 minutes to tell us the truth 🤔

@@catrashoo I'm not in the industry but looking for the best heat reduction and visibility product for my car. I want to go in armed with at least some background so this was not too long for me.

Maybe??? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hqt3eMmY2tfOqnk.html

Get both man. Where do you live? Get as dark as legally possible imo. Films supposedly fade 1% each year

Show me a link to your video that proves your theory. I would like to see it.

I hate to point out the obvious but the reason he chose to use a 5% tint and a 20% ceramic tint it because he was proving in the Ceramics and it was far better than the darker tint If he had compared a 20% tints to a 20% ceramic tint the difference would have been astronomical I know this because I've seen it

Apologies for my spelling errors

Ralph I liked your video, I learned from it, and I also like the feedback given by Feliz despite I didn't like the tone I see in his message. Definitely, from an engineering perspective as a mechanical engineer who studied heat transfer, as Feliz said, you should have had to wait a long time to make sure the complete test bed for the heat transfer test was cool and at the same temperature as when the test with the ceramic 20% film started, and also, I would have found it more appropriate to compare same % of light transmissibility on the tints, two 29% or two 5%. Regarding the tested bed, if you didn't have to test beds to run both at the same time, then definitely you would have had to wait and measure initially temp of the bulb, the instrument used to measure, and the box of the lamp tool (pardon not recalling the name of that black box where there is a light/heat source inside)

Inaccurate yet still correct at the same time lol

Marinus Dekker We currently only have distribution in the USA.

Nanoflex. Any shade you are comfortable with. The performance of the film is great in the light shades.

You can probably jump now. We put ceramic tint on our car back in 2013, and it made a dramatic difference, has not changed color, scratched, or anything. And, it doesn't affect the cell phone and remote key fob operation like some tints that are metallic. I will never get anything but ceramic again.

Not really. Absorbs too much heat. May damage glass or bust seals.

If your doing the back of the Element I'd just do a Ceramic at least 20% or lower and it will block out the heat and UV rays that can damage your equipment.

@@FadeToBlackLLC Thanks for the info. I ended up just buying some reflective window screens for the front and back and it made a huge difference. For the next summer I'm going to make one for the rear window moon roof.

They are the same. It is like asking... what is the difference between a beeper and a pager?

@@FlexFilmPlus ur an idiot!

Ceramic is nothing more than a non conductive layer in the film that functions like insulation. All it will do is absorb solar energy and slow down heat from going into your car. It will not STOP heat. ONLY SLOW IT DOWN. A Styrofoam cup will keep your cold drink colder longer than a solo cup because it has more insulation. Same principle.

Your so cute lol

They are really nice people. They have the ability to sell quality film as well as economy film. Just know which one you are buying.

Put it on a window and look at it in the sun. If it looks too bad, send film back and buy from another source.

Yes. You can only slow down heat. You can't stop it. Look up thermal equilibrium.

Hey Mark, I've got your new film. Watch this video and text me when you get a chance. 770- 401-5555. I take credit cards. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eaeEmq5yxMyoY4E.html

Owned...

UnknownUser I’ve reached out to Ralph and we’ll see what my testing shows if he sends me a sample. I’m skeptical because published performance data doesn’t match the results Ralph is getting. I’m not a KZfaqr but I have a heat lamp and a BTU meter and I’ll make my own video comparison and then we’ll see. If Ralph is right then I’m on board. I’ll sell and install the shit out of Flexfilm, but if I get a different result I’ll make just as much noise.

Mark Porter where do I order Winco Film? Seems you can't order from them you gotta find a distributor

Sami Sami gotta order from Madico

Our film looks dark. If it is 15%, it looks like 15%.

It reads IR too.

Because it slows down thermal equilibrium. Would you take the insulation out of your coffee thermos?

@@FlexFilmPlus I guess a better question for me to have asked is it slows down the heat absorption for how long?? Because...(to answer your question) if your coffee thermos sat in your car (or the refrigerator) while you are at work all day then it wouldn't matter if it has insulation at all.

Here is a response I made to a similar comment to this video. I will just copy and paste it... I appreciate you looking into this heat sheet situation but you are really missing the point here. Carbon film and carbon ceramic film will both block out solar energy and have similar specs but only one of these films will insulate you from heat or slow heat down. The reason for this is one film has a non conductive layer and the other does not. The heat sheet is the only way to demonstrate this by video. If you put your hand in front of the film on the heatbox you will feel the insulation (ceramic) slowing down the heat in the ceramic film but will not feel it slowing down in the carbon film even though it has similar IR specs. There is a reason for this... this should be the focus for the video. Not the heat sheet temperature. The fundamental problem in our industry with ceramic a.k.a heat insulation is that there is no way to express the heat insulation value with a number. There is also no standard in which to measure it for comparison purposes. I can give you an example... If I show you my 2024 corvette and you ask me how much horse power does it have? I can answer with 495 hp. Horsepower is a universal standard to measure HP and 495 is a number in which it can be expressed. But, what if you asked me, How good is the suspension?", and my anser was 4. We have a problem here. Can you see it yet? Let's go back to film. What of you asked me how powerful is my ceramic film and I said it blocks out 93% of the Infared Radiation. IR is solar energy. We know 100% of it originates from the sun. We know the film will absorb or reflect a portion it and allow only a certain percentage through the glass and this can be expressed by a number. But........ what if you ask me how well does my ceramic slow down heat? What if I told you it was a 4. We have a problem here. We can't express how well the film slows down heat with out ceramic (heat insulation) because we have no standard to go by and we also can't use a number to explain it. This is the fundamental problem that my video is trying to explain. This video has nothing to do with allowing the heat sheet to cool down or using two heat sheets. One film has heat insulation which is a non conductive layer Tungsten Oxide mixed into the hardcoat that insulates you from the HEAT and Slows it down and the other does not have a Tungsten Oxide infused hardcoat and lets heat come through by absorbing solar energy and converting it into heat and allowing it to rapidly radiate to the other side of the glass where the heat sheet is... if you could just put your damn hand in front of the glass with the films on it and the heatbox on the other side, you would clearly FEEL the difference and we would not be having this heat sheet discussion. Please, for the love of God put your hand in front of film with this heat insulation and then put it in front of other film without it and see for yourself. Screw the heatsheet... your hand will not lie. Solar energy and heat are similar because both are energy but clearly different forms of energy that have different effects on how we feel in a car or with our hand in front of a heatbox. And also how they can damage shit. Hope this helps. I hope I did not make too many mistakes because I did not proof read this. Also, I am not trying to be mean or disrespectful in any way. I am just passionate and CONFIDENT in what I know. This information is not my opinion. This is fact. I promise you do not want to do a live video on this topic. It will not turn out to show ANY film without heat insulation with similar IR numbers slowing down heat equal to film with heat insulation slowing down heat. I promise... Thank you for the heat sheet challenge. I hope this helps. 🙏 One last word... the two films I used in the video are my products. I manufacture them and distribute them. These products are NOT competitor products. One of my products will NOT slow down heat and one will because of heat insulation in the film. I really have no reason to be bias. I am just trying to explain how films perform with heat insulation vs no heat insulation with similar specs

No.

This was not a visible light transmission demonstration. This was a demonstration to show that how much Infared radiation a film absorbed has nothing to do with how it slows down heat which is another form of energy that has to re radiat from the glass. The addition of a non conductive ceramic coating into a film manages heat by slowing it down. Visible light, Ultraviolet Ray's, Infared radiation, and heat are all forms of energy but yet all different.

They are both ceramic. VCool has a slightly different construction than most auto film.
