LLumar Window Film Vs. Replacing Windows The Clear Choice

Window film is an aftermarket retrofit solution that transforms your inefficient single pane or dual pane windows into heat filtering units at a fraction of the cost for a window replacement.

Today’s durable lifetime warranted window film will not bubble, peel or fade. The number of choices is incredible ranging from dark light transmissions to clear IR heat blocking films.

We also recommend dual benefit solar security window films that will strengthen your glass providing shatter control and theft protection.

There are low e coatings that provide summer and winter benefits by maintaining the interior room temperatures no matter how hot or cold it gets outside.

Optically transparent coatings are warranted for a lifetime and filter out 99.9% of harmful UV rays.

Tampa Bay, Orlando Window Film Consumer Comparisons

Advanced Film Solutions is proud to promote the Eastman Chemical window film products.

What consumers may not know is that Eastman Chemical is the world’s largest manufacturer of solar and solar security window film.

Their brands include LLumar, Vista, SunTek and Huper Optik.

Still there may be a perception that 3M is the leader in window film based on their well known Scotch brands, etc. and this inaccurate belief may skew some consumers into believing that the 3M window film is the top choice for residential and commercial films.

This is decidedly not the case in any objective comparison of product depth, capabilities or performance.

Eastman films out-perform the limited 3M choices in each major product category:

Solar Films:

The Eastman solar film portfolio includes a wider choice in light transmissions and appearance.

Reflective and dual reflective films as well as non-reflective ceramic and spectrally selective films.

These Eastman films are all NFRC certified and can easily be compared to the very limited 3M NFRC database. In terms of security films used for life safety and asset protection there is really no comparison.

Eastman’s LLumar film meets all critical testing requirements including GSA, DOD and ASTM and European Smash standards.

Choices include several neutral choices, silver and several dual reflective security films as well as thicker coatings of 7, 8, 11 ml or thicker for various applications.

The Huper Optik ceramic films are IR heat blocking choices ideal for deed restricted or gated communities.

These films out-perform the 3M prestige series as they provide superior heat rejection and better glare control features.

Additionally the clarity of the Eastman adhesives is superior to the 3M adhesives.

Huper Optik is dye free unlike the aforementioned Prestige films, so the heat filtering capabilities of the Huper Film will not degrade over time.
