Tampa Car Tinting Facts. Choosing The Perfect Automotive Film

Tampa drivers have lots of window tinting choices and for many consumers there is an incredible lack of knowledge about the differences between them.

Advanced Film Solutions is Tampa’s LLumar SelectPro- FormulaOne High Performance window film installation company.

We have choices just like our customers and given our 40 plus years experience in this business we’d like to educate Tampa drivers about the differences in automotive films and why our LLumar FormulaOne films are the smart choice.

  • Our coatings are dye free. Dyed films are cheaper to buy, but in swift order they lose their color, optical clarity and performance. These are the bubbled glass windows you notice while driving around the Bay area. We don’t want unhappy clients so we stay away from films that are not color or adhesive stable.

  • Some films can interfere with satellite radio, GPS and cell phones because of metal in the film components. Advanced Film Solutions recommends ceramic IR heat blocking films like Pinnacle and Stratos that have no signal interference yet perform heat rejection like a metal film would.

  • We represent the Eastman Chemical film line. This is a huge American based company that is easily the world leader.

  • We appreciate their innovation and their 100 year ability to support their warranty should anything go wrong with their film. This is important for our customers since things rarely go poorly and you should expect that to be fixed at no cost to you.
  • No name brands or tinting from an unknown source typically leaves this squarely on your shoulders. That should be unacceptable to you as well.

  • Our techs are the most experienced and utilize high speed plotters and precision software to cut templates that exactly match your car or SUV windows. This eliminates errors, sharp cutting on your glass or gaps. This automated system reduces waiting times as well which is important because you are busy and hate losing a day for car tinting.
  • We install in a clean environment rather than in a driveway. This reduces debris, dust and bubbles.
  • We offer more warranted choices than competition so you get what you require  in performance and appearance. That means light transmissions and total solar heat rejection.

Do your research and call Advanced Film Solutions for more information, questions or scheduling.

Window Film 2025, Tampa Bay’s Smart Consumer Choice

The window film industry has been around for decades.

Starting in the 1960’s and evolving through these years in technological leaps of innovation in polyester, adhesives, coatings and nanotechnology.

The improvements demonstrated include incredible optical clarity, durability and efficacy against heat, glare, UV damage and privacy.

The leader in these critical benefits are the folks at Eastman Chemical who manufacture LLumar, Vista, Huper Optik and the Suntek brands. You can find their DIY films sold under the Gila brand.

Why window film and why now?

Clear glass presents numerous issues for home and business owners. There are a long list of problems including:

  • Overheated rooms.
  • UV sun damage to wood floors and furnishings.
  • Lack of privacy.
  • Glass breakage and shatter resistance.
  • High cooling costs.

These problems are particularly true for single pane clear glass, tempered clear glass sliders and dual pane IG units with little or no solar light filtering or UV protection.

To be clear it is the case that consumers can decide to replace their windows and sliders with energy efficient windows at a cost that has an incredibly high sticker price.

Window film is the smart alternative to a window replacement or simply living with your current situation.

These aftermarket films provide lasting benefits as stated above. The actual performance has been measured and confirmed by the NFRC which also rates the efficiency of new windows.

Window film will transform inefficient glass into energy smart windows at a fraction (1/10th) of a window replacement.

Advanced Film Solutions experts provide free consultations and they will show you our wide range of coatings that will meet your specific requirements.

Our choices include reflective films, clear and lightly tinted ceramic nanotechnology films as well as dual reflective films that will not compromise your views or alter the appearance of your windows.

These ceramic films meet all deed restrictions and home owner association rules which are important here in Florida.

Now is a perfect time to compare window film to new windows or suffering with the heat.
