There’s nothing quite like the torture of having to work near west, south or east facing windows throughout our Florida summers.
It gets hot.
It’s bright and that glare is a killer.
Blinds and curtains won’t stop that intense heat.
That’s why property managers and building owners throughout west and central Florida rely on Advanced Film Solutions.
We consult with the property managers and develop a strategy to coat windows with solar control window film that will block nearly 85% of the heat, light and 99.9% of the UV.
Night visibility is preserved with our dual reflective and non metallic ceramic films manufactured by Eastman Chemical.

If you are one of the thousands of Tampa area drivers that have already had their car or SUV tinted by Advanced Film Solutions you know why our solutions and technicians are the cream of the crop.
Car tinting is more a necessity than a luxury for this area.
It gets hot and stays hot and sunny throughout the year.
Most SUV front driver and passenger windows are un-tinted and the rear factory tint is hardly effective beyond privacy in keeping your family cool.
Cars typically come without any heat, glare or UV protection. This makes driving around the Bay area a challenge.
New cars leased or purchased in the area may have an option for window film. In these situations the new car dealer outsources the window tinting to a local window tint shop.
As a consumer you really don’t know what quality of film you are getting or the clarity, installation standards or performance.
That’s why we recommend you choose the LLumar SelectPro FormulaOne films that we install using high speed plotters and precision cut software.
We offer a full range of choices that vary in performance and heat rejection including ceramic films like Pinnacle, Stratos and CTX.
These films stop more IR heat than standard or metal films and will never interfere with GPS, Bluetooth or Satellite radio.

Eastman Chemical’s world leader in window film choices include Vista Film, Huper Optik and the market leader LLumar Select Films.
Throughout the long history (nearly 60 years) of the window film industry thicker security glazing window film coatings provided a significant level of protection against forced entry, smash and grab crimes and wind blown flying debris.
The Federal government has used these films to protect GSA and Military personnel and property around the USA as well as overseas.
Blast protection (mitigation) particularly after Oklahoma City focused on a specified level of protection and Federal officials determined a baseline level of performance expectations that many manufacturers have met (documented testing available.)
Advanced Film Solutions is unique by offering multiple brand alternatives but all of our selections meet or exceed the DoD and GSA testing requirements.

There are certainly aesthetic differences as one might expect between these brand offerings.
Metallic privacy and silver films, clear or lightly tinted iterations as well as multiple light transmissions and levels of reflective or non-reflective.
In all cases Advanced Film Solutions offers an optional but highly recommended Dow 995 attachment system that anchors the film, frames and glass into one complete system.
We should note that our single competition 3M Safety and Security Film does NOT offer any documented safety or security advantage over any of the scores of choices we install on a daily basis.
There is absolutely no advantage for 3M or performance benefit measurable by any independent testing; nor can 3M provide any documented advantage.
In fact the 3M portfolio is extremely limited in the selections offered in terms of appearance, light transmissions and reflectivity.
