Tampa Bay Transforms Clear Glass Windows With Advanced Film Solutions

Clear glass windows and doors are what builders typically install when they build homes and offices in Florida.

Florida home owners in the tropical climate of Tampa Bay, Sarasota and Orlando understand just how many problems they face when they move into their new home.

Rooms are too bright.

Glare makes it impossible to watch TV or work on their computers.

Furnishings and wood floors fade under the relentless heat, light and UV
Privacy is non-existent.

Glass is easy for burglars to break in.

Today’s high technology window film solves these issues and more.

Thin films filter 99.9% of the UV and are available in scores of light transmissions.

The homeowner can easily select the perfect light transmission which determines just how light, or dark a room can be.

Typically darker films will block more heat but there are next generation coatings that factor out more IR heat along with visible light.

This allows a lighter coating to block more total solar energy than a standard metalized film.

Advanced Film Solutions team of experts works with our clients to determine the perfect customized solution.

Leading manufacturer’s include 3M Prestige, 3M Ultra solar security film, Eastman Chemical LLumar, Vista Film and Huper Optik. Saint Gobain and Madico.
