Tampa Bay Home Improvement: New Windows Vs. Window Film?

Florida homeowners are considering upgrading their windows and sliders.

The first thought for most people is a total window replacement.

Consumers are “sold” on the energy efficiency of IG units either because they have succumbed to advertising or peer pressure from friends and neighbors.

The cost for a complete window replacement is very expensive and the ROI may take more than 15 years to recover your investment.

That’s why thousands of Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota homeowners have researched and decided to initiate a retrofit window film solution by Advanced Film Solutions.

White Paper

Window film is applied to your existing windows and sliders. These thin film coatings transform your current windows into energy efficient systems that filter out more heat, glare and UV as compared to new windows at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Our payback is less than  2 years and our lifetime warranty and NFRC rated performance expectations takes the guess-work out!

Tampa Bay’s Gated Communities Homes Get IR Heat Blocking Window Film

Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota boast some of the more exclusive gated communities in the country.

Homeowners appreciate the deed restrictions that prohibit activities that can lower property values.

While homes in gated communities suffer from heat, glare and rising cooling costs their deed restrictions prohibit the use of reflective window film.

Advanced Film Solutions offers the best heat rejecting non-reflective window films that meet all deed restrictions.

Consider our 3M Prestige and 3M Prestige Ultra solar shatter window film. These coatings stop more IR heat than any other film.

Huper Optik ceramic films provide the best heat to light ratio performance of any non reflective films.

These non dyed and non-corrosive films out-perform all competitive offerings.

When we discuss anticipated performance on various glass types (single-pane, tempered, IG, etc.) we refer to documented characteristics as outlined by the NFRC.

Huper Optik, Eastman Chemical has a wider range of choices. 3M Prestige is also available in multiple light transmissions.

Huper Optik offers a lifetime warranty and of course our choices eliminate 99.9% of the UV.

There are many gated communities that have allowed reflective films in their communities.

If the HOA approves than you might consider the Eastman Vista Series or our LLumar Dual Reflective films.

These films are available in a wide range of light transmissions in either the Vista or LLumar lines and these choices out-perform our 3M Night Vision competition.

Once again check our documented results on the NFRC website. You’ll note that our Eastman choices are available in a 5%, 14%, 15%, 18%, 25%, 28%, 35%, 38%. 45%.

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.

  1. 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.

Thicker versions provide dual benefits of solar insulation as well as security and glass impact strength.
