The 2023 International Window Film Conference and Tint-Off™ competition recently took the window film industry by storm. Hosted by Window Film Magazine, this event provides a unique platform for professionals in the field to come together, discover new products, delve into market trends, network with industry peers and suppliers, and compete in the renowned “World’s Best” competitions. This year, the spotlight shone brightly on two talented individuals, Seth Clarke of ATD Solar Film & Graphics and his associate Melvin Galdamez, as they entered the Flat Glass competition.
The Event
The 2023 International Window Film Conference and Tint-Off™ competition took place from September 20-22 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. This annual gathering has become a must-attend event for window film industry members. With a focus on learning about new products and staying abreast of market trends, it’s the perfect opportunity for those in the field to refine their expertise.
The Flat Glass Competition
One of the most anticipated components of the event is the “World’s Best” competition, where participants test their skills in the window film installation domain. This year, Seth and Melvin decided to take on the challenge in the Flat Glass competition.
In this contest, all competitors are presented with a window, given the same type of film, and set to work within a strict time limit. The competitors must complete the installation with precision while maintaining exceptional quality, keeping contamination to a minimum, and adhering to the stringent time constraints. Judges review each installation panel, evaluating it on these key parameters: quality, contamination, and installation time.
A Remarkable Display of Skill
Both Seth and Melvin proved their remarkable skill and expertise. In a field of 64 talented participants from around the world, Seth and Melvin managed to secure their positions among the top 8 in the Flat Glass competition. This achievement speaks volumes about their skills, work ethic, and commitment to excellence.
