Tampa Solar Safety Glazing Protection Window Film

Thicker safety films have been protecting government buildings, schools, airports and military installations throughout the world for decades.

These 8 ML thick or greater mylar coatings are effective against impact from blasts as they maintain the integrity of the window opening holding glass in place and reducing injuries from glass fragmentation.

Window film manufacturers have developed a full range of shatter films that have an additional solar filtering layer that provides energy cost savings, privacy from the street view and glare rejection of up to 80%.

Home and business owners can now select from the large portfolio of shatter film solar safety films to upgrade their security for their home, store or facility while lowering cooling costs that will provide a superior return on investment.

Window Film For Tampa-Clearwater Heat Control Perfect Balance

Homeowners throughout Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota appreciate the numerous benefits of having solar control window film applied to their windows.

Advanced Film Solutions has provided energy control films on nearly 40,000 homes in the last 18 years.

Our in home estimates allow our clients the opportunity to choose the perfect film for their specific requirements and aesthetic preferences.

Reflective, dual reflective coatings:

Our portfolio of films covers a wide range of light transmissions and heat filtering capabilities.

Dual reflective films present a reflective appearance from the exterior view and a lower reflection from the interior. These films allow for night vision and will give the homeowner daytime privacy while factoring out heat.

No other company in Florida has as many choices. The se films range from our 5% straight through light transmissions of 58-60%

Non- Reflective coatings:

Our Ceramic Huper Optik coatings and Vista ceramic and spectrally selective films are less reflective than glass.

These coatings are perfect for deed restricted gated communities and they block a range of total solar energy from 75% to 49%

It should be noted that darker films in any composition factor out more heat than lighter versions of these films. This includes our spectrally selective films that filter out IR wavelengths.

There are some 3M dealers who confuse IR wavelengths with heat. This confusion leads them to make erroneous claims that a lighter 70% film can block 97% of the heat. This is clearly untrue.

Fortunately the NFRC has established factual, lab tested performance characteristics that highlight the actual performance of their prestige film as well as the Eastman Chemical portfolio we represent.

Advanced Film Solutions, Tampa Gated Community Clear Window Tinting

Keeping heat, glare and harmful UV from entering your home is serious stuff here in the Tampa Bay, Orlando or Sarasota Bradenton area.

Many homeowners suffer with single pane clear glass windows and sliders.

Drapes, shutters and blinds may offer privacy and some glare control but they provide very little relief from the everyday harsh Florida sun.

Replacing windows is a very expensive proposition and in many cases unnecessary.

Window film can stop 99.9% of the UV and up to 75%-80% of the heat.

Advanced Film Solutions has the most complete portfolio of Eastman dual reflective films like LLumar and Vista.

These are energy efficient films that offer incomparable heat control.

These films present a reflective appearance on the exterior face of your windows.

This can be a benefit when privacy is required but nevertheless there are many instances when the reflective appearance is not preferred or simply prohibited by your HOA rules or Deed Restrictions.

The solution is our Eastman Huper Optik series of nano-ceramic IR filtering coatings.

The Huper Optik films are dye free so the color is stable and won’t fade over time. This is a significant advantage over the 3M prestige films.

col

Huper Optik adhesive quality is vastly superior to the hazy adhesives used by 3M prestige

Huper Optik offers more light transmissions including darker 20%, 30% and 35% while 3M is limited to their prestige 40 in their darkest choice.

If glare is an issue (and when isn’t it?) this is yet another superior advantage.

Both 3M and Huper Optik filter out IR wavelengths and of course both films work better at angles (this is a 3M sales tactic that has no merit in fact.)

Huper Optik and 3M are NFRC certified so consumers can get objective performance comparisons by referring to this quasi-governmental agency.

We are happy to provide free estimates and sample films for your HOA approvals.

Home Security Window Film Protects Tampa Bay Homes

Tampa area homeowners face many challenges throughout the year.

The tropical temperatures bake our homes and offices which results in high electric cooling costs.

There is also a growing number of home invasions and burglary throughout the region.

12992_618168704883271_1326451465_n

Advanced Film Solutions with offices throughout Tampa Bay, Clearwater, St. Pete, Sarasota and Orlando help clients address these two disparate issues with the application of solar security window films on doors, sliders and ground level windows.

Your unprotected glass is an easy point of entry for thieves. Our thicker security films serve to deny, deter and delay entry.

This precious time provides law enforcement more time to respond to alarms and you more time to react.

Our window film security coatings are available in clear versions as well as dozens of combination solar safety films.

Combined these coatings lower cooling costs, provide glare and UV protection and lower monthly electric costs.

Several reflective versions offer an additional daytime privacy feature which is potentially yet another benefit.

Solar safety window film is the choice for asset protection managers who protect retail stores, schools and Federal offices throughout the state.

Homeowners can also benefit from these incredible cost-effective solutions!

Tampa Bay’s Perfect Window Film Makes Homes Cooler

There are many variables for determining the perfect window film for your unique requirements.

It can become confusing so we thought it might be helpful to provide a quick checklist for making the right selection.

 

Residential and commercial window film requires a skill set of installation capability that differentiates itself from car tinting.  The installation company should be fully equipped, insured and properly credentialed.

Advanced Film Solutions has 18 years of experience since leaving 3M (33 years there!)

Our team of installation experts has the most experience in the state of Florida.

We have a superb A Plus Rating with the Better Business Bureau and an unmatched 11 years of earning the Super Service Award from Angie’s list. (Angi)

Type of film:

There are scores of window film choices, brands and appearance.

Reflective and dual reflective coatings filter out heat and provide privacy during the daytime. These films are durable and their adhesive clarity is pristine.

The leader in reflective film and clear adhesives is Eastman Chemical.  These films are sold under the LLumar SelectPro and Vista brands.

These coatings have a transferable lifetime warranty and are available in more light transmissions (including bronze, silver and neutral) than any other manufacturer.

Non- reflective:

The objective is to filter out the most heat without adding any exterior reflectivity to your windows or sliders. Here again the Eastman Huper Optik ceramic films meet the most strict HOA’ rules and deed restrictions!

Solar safety security combination films:

Our LLumar and Vista Solar security films are available in multiple light transmissions so matching your security need with the right light transmission is a breeze!
