Tampa Window Film Alternative Before Buying New Windows

Many Tampa Bay area homeowners are considering replacing their windows for insulated glass units.

Glass companies will try to convince you that your existing windows are too energy deficient to handle the heat and UV.

They make a case that only dual pane windows will lower your monthly electric cooling costs throughout our tropical summers.

The price tag for a complete window replacement is cost-prohibitive and the payback period is extensive; frequently in the order of 20 years!

There is a better solution: Advanced Film Solutions.

Window film is applied to your existing windows at a cost that is 1/10 that of a window replacement.

The payback is typically less than 2 years and the warranty is lifetime.

Our NFRC rated coatings increase the efficiency of your windows by filtering out nearly 80% of the heat gain.

Glare is controlled and the damaging UV rays are eliminated.

Many of your neighbors have experienced the dramatic difference that window film can make in your home and Advanced Film Solutions has performed more than 14,000 installations in the last several years throughout Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota-Bradenton.

Our philosophy is pretty simple:

We offer the best performing thin films manufactured by the world leader in window film, Eastman Chemical.

We customize the solution based on our clients requirements.

Many homeowners prefer no reflective coatings either based on personal aesthetic preferences or mandated deed restrictions. Advanced Film has you covered with our Huper Optik patented ceramic films.

Some clients prefer privacy that is provided by low reflective coatings like Vista or LLumar.

Many homeowners want the dual benefit of safety, security combined with solar control films. These thicker versions keep intruders out of your home.

Advanced Film Solutions are experts in window film and our team has earned an A Plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and has been awarded the Super Service Award by Angie’s List for nine years.

Every so often we are called in by our manufacturer’s to assist one of their clients who made the unfortunate decision to have a local car tinter apply film on their home.

The car tinting film is not designed to withstand the Florida climate on flat glass (home or commercial property)

These folks may offer a low ball price but to coin a phrase “You get what you pay for!”

In one recent home what they got was bubbles and a purple hazy mess after only 3 years.

The car tinter refused to honor any warranty and the manufacturer requested that Advanced Film Solutions rip off that car tinting mess an install a high performance LLumar film in it’s place.

My first point is to highlight the fact that Eastman honored their warranty despite the fact that the wrong film was installed on a high end home. The customer was made completely whole!

My second point is that Advanced Film Solutions was asked to do the heavy lifting by removing all the defective film. We were trusted because we do exactly what we promise our clients we will do every day.

The third point is to follow “Caveat Emptor” Buyer Beware!
