Living in the Greater Tampa Bay area, specifically across Pinellas and Pasco counties, we are blessed with abundant sunshine.
It’s the very reason we cherish our beautiful homes and condos. But for many of us, that spectacular Florida view is being held hostage by a silent, creeping issue: obsolete and deteriorating window tint.
You’ll notice the result of adhesive and film failure as purple, yellow, cloudy, blurry or bubbling film.
Do you have windows that are:
-
Clouded and hazy, making your beautiful backyard or cityscape look permanently foggy?
-
Turning bizarre shades of purple or yellow, a strange, unwanted filter over the world?
-
Pitting and flaking, raining down tiny particles onto your sills and floors?
-
Covered in scratches, seemingly from just being there?
Frequently the cloudiness will get worse as time goes on.
If this sounds like your home, you are likely living with a relic of a bygone era. We’re talking about window film that was installed in the 1970s, 80s, or even the late 90s. And the bad news is, it’s not going to get better on its own.
The Anatomy of an Antique Window Problem
So, why are these old tints such a disaster? The “technology” of window film back then was a far cry from what we have today.
These antique films were primarily manufactured using a process that involved saturating the film with dyes to provide heat and glare rejection. While effective in the very short term, these dyes are inherently unstable. When subjected to the unrelenting Florida sun, day after day, year after year, the dyes begin to break down.
The result is the infamous “purple window” effect. As the film’s structure further degrades, it can turn a sickly yellow and become hazy and blurry, utterly destroying your clarity and visibility.
To make matters worse, these early coatings almost entirely lacked an effective UV inhibitor.
This means that while they might have provided some immediate comfort, they weren’t protecting your home’s interior—your floors, furniture, and artwork—from the harmful, fading rays of the sun. Plus, they were incredibly susceptible to scratches, even from normal cleaning.
Advanced Film Solutions is Tampa’s leading window film installation company.
In essence, these windows are no longer an asset; they are a liability. They’re an eyesore that’s reducing your home’s energy efficiency and your own quality of life.
Here’s the great news: you don’t have to live with it. Advanced Film Solutions is your local expert in Pinellas and Pasco counties, dedicated to solving this exact problem for homeowners.
We can completely transform your windows, moving them from hazy and purple to crystal clear and high-performing. How? By expertly removing that old, failed film and replacing it with the absolute pinnacle of modern window film technology from industry leaders like 3M and Eastman Chemical.
These aren’t your grandfather’s window films. Today’s coatings are engineered with sophisticated ceramic and nano-technology that is radically different.
We offer more brands, more choices and a team of installers who can remove the old and replace with new coatings that come with a lifetime warranty.

-
Superior Heat and Glare Rejection: These films use ceramic and other advanced materials to block a significant amount of the sun’s solar energy from entering your home. This means a cooler, more comfortable living space and a noticeable reduction in your energy bills.

-
NFRC Rating: You don’t have to take our word for it. The performance of these films is rigorously tested and certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC). This independent rating provides you with objective data on energy performance, so you can be confident in your choice.
-
Scratch-Resistant Coating: Our modern films feature a robust, scratch-resistant hard coat that ensures they stay looking great for years, even with regular cleaning.
The Peace of Mind of a Lifetime Warranty
We believe so strongly in the quality and durability of the 3M and Eastman films we install that they all come with a comprehensive Lifetime Warranty. This isn’t a limited or pro-rated warranty.
It’s a complete guarantee against peeling, cracking, adhesive failure, and, yes, that dreaded purple discoloration. This is the ultimate in peace of mind, protecting your investment for as long as you own your home.
