Tampa Region’s Smart Choices For Cooling UV Shatter Window Film

Most consumers have a limited amount of information concerning window film.

Checking online can eliminate some obvious issues since everyone claims to have the best solutions, etc.

Fortunately consumers can get detailed performance characteristics thanks to the NFRC which is a quasi-governmental agency that is the repository for factual, lab tested specifications for leading window film brands.

The NFRC (Click here) was developed to demonstrate accuracy in light of the anticipated energy savings that would eventually lead to Energy Star ratings.

While the intention of window film manufacturers to comply with the strict testing data imposed is admirable, an unintended virtue of the NFRC is to dispel numerous exaggerations frequently espoused during competitive sales calls and demonstrations.

Advanced Film Solutions is  Florida’s leading commercial and residential window film installation companies.

We remain steadfast in highlighting factual performance expectations and real-world film comparisons.

Here are a few examples:

3M Window Film is the well known superior window film solution for homes and condos that are under deed restrictions. Our Prestige and Prestige Ultra film meets all HOA rules and is virtually invisible on your windows and sliders.

IR heat blocking films like 3M Prestige and Huper Optik  filter out a large percentage of the IR wavelengths as IR wavelengths make up more than 50% of total solar energy (Heat)

The remaining portion of heat is a factor of visible light being filtered.

Advanced Film Solutions represents 3M and Eastman Chemical and their portfolio of Vista, LLumar, Huper Optik coatings.

We prefer facts.
