Making Glass Energy Efficient With Window Film

Window film is an aftermarket solution that consists of a transparent coating of film that gets applied to your home’s windows and sliders.

Thin film technology over the last five decades has produced innovative and durable coatings that can provide cost effective solutions to many of the problems associated with clear glass.

Today’s high tech window film stops 99.9% of harmful UV rays from damaging interior furnishings, wood floors and paintings.
These films last a lifetime and are warranted for a lifetime of performance.
Window film provides glare and light reduction customized to your specific requirements. You decide the amount of light filtering as well as the aesthetic appearance of your windows.
Non-reflective IR heat blocking coatings like Huper Optik stop heat without altering the appearance of your windows. This makes HOA’s and deed restrictions a concern of the past!
Thicker iterations of these coatings are effective means for home protection. The windows are covered with a coating that is used by the Federal Government to protect buildings throughout the USA.
Glare is reduced by as much as 90%
Privacy films are available as well as decorative films for bathroom privacy, etc.

Advanced Film Solutions, with offices in Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota is one of the most respected window film installation companies in the USA.

Our team of installers has earned ten Super Service Awards and an A Plus Rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Home Security & Solar Window Film Designed For Tampa Florida Living

Thousands of your Florida neighbors have made the decision to have solar control window film applied to their home’s windows.

These films filter out heat, UV and glare.

Advanced Film Solutions recommends that you consider thicker safety and security window films that provide that same solar benefit while also protecting your home from burglary.

Our safety films are 8 ML thick and the puncture strength and tensile strength meet the same strict requirements that Federal offices and military bases employ for force protection.

Many clients enhance their security with optional wet sealant attachment systems that bind the film, glass and frames into one system.

Advanced Film Solutions has the largest portfolio of solar security combination window films including our Eastman LLumar SelectPro Vista Films, LLumar, Huper Optik and SunTek.

Window Film 2025, Tampa Bay’s Smart Consumer Choice

The window film industry has been around for decades.

Starting in the 1960’s and evolving through these years in technological leaps of innovation in polyester, adhesives, coatings and nanotechnology.

The improvements demonstrated include incredible optical clarity, durability and efficacy against heat, glare, UV damage and privacy.

The leader in these critical benefits are the folks at Eastman Chemical who manufacture LLumar, Vista, Huper Optik and the Suntek brands. You can find their DIY films sold under the Gila brand.

Why window film and why now?

Clear glass presents numerous issues for home and business owners. There are a long list of problems including:

Overheated rooms.
UV sun damage to wood floors and furnishings.
Lack of privacy.
Glass breakage and shatter resistance.
High cooling costs.

These problems are particularly true for single pane clear glass, tempered clear glass sliders and dual pane IG units with little or no solar light filtering or UV protection.

To be clear it is the case that consumers can decide to replace their windows and sliders with energy efficient windows at a cost that has an incredibly high sticker price.

Window film is the smart alternative to a window replacement or simply living with your current situation.

These aftermarket films provide lasting benefits as stated above. The actual performance has been measured and confirmed by the NFRC which also rates the efficiency of new windows.

Window film will transform inefficient glass into energy smart windows at a fraction (1/10^th) of a window replacement.

Advanced Film Solutions experts provide free consultations and they will show you our wide range of coatings that will meet your specific requirements.

Our choices include reflective films, clear and lightly tinted ceramic nanotechnology films as well as dual reflective films that will not compromise your views or alter the appearance of your windows.

These ceramic films meet all deed restrictions and home owner association rules which are important here in Florida.

Now is a perfect time to compare window film to new windows or suffering with the heat.
