Cool Pane Relief Window Tinting For Tampa Bay & Orlando Homes

There’s absolutely no question you will turn on your AC in the next few weeks.

You now know which rooms are too hot, too bright or too visible from the outside.

After all the temperatures are hovering above the mid 90 degrees, and the humidity is at summer levels.

You set your thermostat at your preferred number and grit your teeth when you open next month’s electric bill.

You may not realize that an application of solar control window film can stop nearly 85% of the heat from entering through your windows.

This has the positive effect of lowering that electric bill by 30% a month.

Solar control window film protects your furnishings from fading and paintings from getting lighter and washed out.

Stopping heat from entering your home right at the window with Eastman Vista, LLumar or Huper Optik window film provides cool pain relief.

The coating removes harmful UV rays from fading your furnishings or wood floors.

The glare is removed from your family room and watching TV becomes enjoyable again!

All of our films are warranted for a lifetime and our Vista films have a transferable lifetime warranty.

Tampa Bay Selects Advanced Film Solutions Window Tinting, 2024

2024 is closing in on us and shortly our days will be getting longer and hotter throughout west, and central Florida.

We ‘ll be soon hitting 90 degree temperatures and 100% humidity which is typical for our late spring and tropical summers.

Office windows that face west, east and south are the culprit for over-heated tenants and their personnel and visitors.

Combine rising cooling costs and glare and leaving that situation unresolved can have negative implications for your tenants signing their renewal leases.

Advanced Film Solutions recommends that you consider solar control window film.

We apply thin film coatings to the interior side of your windows and glass doors. These coatings filter out nearly all the UV and as much as 85% of the heat from entering their offices.

Tenant electric bills will be reduced by 30% a month and the hot office and discomfort will become a thing of the past.

Economically priced and durable, these films will last for years to come and are warranted against bubbling or adhesive failure.

We provide free estimates and will match the perfect window film for your clients requirements.

Window Tinting Comparison Eastman Vs. 3M Window Film

Perception Vs. Reality.

Many consumers are familiar with the 3M Brand.

Small wonder because 3M makes thousands of products that consumers use every day; from Post-It Notes to Scotch Tape.

Home and business owners may be less familiar with Eastman Chemicals although they certainly know Eastman Kodak.

Eastman Chemicals separated from Eastman Kodak more than 25 years ago.

Eastman Chemicals is the world leader in window film technology, manufacturing and sales.

Advanced Film Solutions provides superior installations of Eastman window film sold under the LLumar, Vista, Huper Optik, and SunTek trademarks.

Flat Glass- residential and Commercial window film:

PhysicalPropertiesOnePagerL2349(Jan2020)

Eastman Chemicals has a broad array of light transmissions and films of varied aesthetics.

Reflective films, dual reflective films and non reflective coatings in a wide range.

All of the residential and commercial choices have been NFRC certified for veracity in anticipated performance.

The 3M portfolio is extremely limited in terms of light transmissions and appearance.

For example our LLumar dual reflectives which out-perform the 3M Night Vision series is available in darker and lighter versions. The Vista films are also dual reflective and are also available in more choices of light filtering.

In terms of security film there is simply no comparison.

Our LLumar and Vista films are available in stronger 8 ML versions in dozens of light transmissions compared to 3M’s thinner limited security films.

Our Eastman Huper Optik series has several critical advantages over the 3M Prestige series.

Huper Optik has no dyes in the composition of the film. This ensures durability and color stability. The 3M Prestige films employ dyes and these light filtering chemicals can be scratched off of the film quite easily.

The adhesive superiority of Huper Optik’s clarity easily out performs the 3M Prestige film.

Our Huper Optik films are available in darker versions (20%-30%) where glare rejection and maximum heat rejection is crucial. Our Huper Drei is the best heat rejecting 35% film in the industry and easily out-performs the 3M Prestige 40.

Protective Glazing Window Film Ship Safe, Advanced Film Solutions

Advanced Film Solutions provided protective glazing security window film for a tanker ship.

The ship was docked for resupply and their primary concern was the protection of their crew against pirates at sea.

The bridge deck windows were protected with LLumar Clear Shatter Control window film.

The application was further hardened with a wet seal attachment system that creates a system between the glass, frames and the LLumar Film.

This application will maintain the integrity of the window envelope. If Somali pirates shoot at the bridge windows the glass will remain in the frames. This is similar to the objectives of retail store asset protection and school safety requirements.

Many of our local government building have contracted with Advanced Film Solutions to protect their people and property.

The optical clarity and documented performance combined with the installation capabilities of our techs made this smooth sailing!

Our team protected a sister ship last year docked in Taiwan!
