We LOVE What We Do!

Well after a grueling several month project that involved removing "off brand", nasty, purple window film and replacing with new 3M Brand Window Film, we finally completed the project. Not only does the building look better, it feels better and is more environmentally friendly. The application of the new film will save enough energy in just a couple of years that the film application will pay for itself in reduced HVAC cost savings. Thanks to the Midland Building folks for trusting us with their building and for leading the way in green living! Take a look at the finished project to the left.

Seriously?

Twice over the last two days I have heard stories about my competition that makes me wonder how some companies stay in business. One account occurred yesterday when a potential client told me they have used "competitor A" in the past and although, and I quote, " a little unreliable, he does a good job when he shows up". What........ seriously? I'm glad to hear that he does a good job when he shows up. Todays encounter was different and even more disturbing "competitor B" was installing film in a residence when the customer asked a question about a disputed installation issue. After a brief exchange "competitor b" said, and I quote, "well if you're going to be that way about it I'll just pack my stuff up and leave". What...... seriously? It baffles the mind how people who treat clients that way get anywhere in business. Allow me to play devil's advocate for a moment: "yes they may have some problems, but their prices are really cheap". Yep, they are....... and we know why. When you're ready to stop asking, "what.........seriously" and ready to get SERIOUS, give us a call. We may be more expensive (and I don't mean by leaps and bounds) but we promise to value YOU, our customer, and will strive to make sure YOU, our customer, are satisfied with our work before, during and after we work with you. SERIOUSLY!

Midland Building Window Film Project Update

Well, its a long process tearing off 30 year old window film but we're getting there! Since the building manager chose a 3M product they are assured long life out of this application, and when the time comes, easier removal of the old stuff. We've highlighted which windows have been completed for comparisons sake........ let us know what you think of the new look - info@solartexinc.com - . Did we mention the film will save enough energy in apprx. 2 years to pay for the application?!

To all veterans:

Midland Building to Receive an Energy and Aesthetic Upgrade

During the next few months you may notice the landscape of downtown Columbus slowly changing. SolarTex, Inc. has been contracted to remove the existing window film (yes the purple stuff) and replace it with a newer, non-fading & energy efficient solar window film at the Midland Building located at 250 E. Broad St. in Columbus, Ohio. The existing film was applied almost 20 years ago and had seen better days both from an aesthetic and energy efficiency standpoint. SolarTex, Inc. provided test panels (if you look close at the pictures above you'll see them) and energy reports estimating how much money the building could save by upgrading the window film. We were amazed to report to the building engineer that removing the old film and replacing with new film would pay for itself in the form of energy saving in under two years! Keep your eyes open as you drive down Broad St. over the next few months and watch the transformation from start to finish! Please note: The pictures were taken before the makeover and shows the old window film still applied. As we make progress in the removal and re-application we'll post new pictures and updates.
