Tampa’s Best Car Tinting Starts At Advanced Film Solutions

It’s a simple fact that driving around Tampa without any solar film protection on your windows is nearly impossible.

This is also the case for SUV’s that come equipped with factory tinted privacy glass on the rear passenger windows and back window.

What you may not realize is that this factory tint is doing next to nothing when it comes to UV protection or very little when it comes to heat rejection.

Advanced Film Solutions is Tampa’s LLumar SelectPro high performance automotive film installation company.

Our team of expert installers uses high speed plotters to cut the exact pattern needed for your vehicle.

This makes for a cleaner and scratch free installation and our warranty covers adhesive issues, bubbling or peeling.

Educated consumers know that window film isn’t all the same.

Advanced Film Solutions offers a range of solutions that are based on the amount of heat being rejected and this is connected to the type of thin film material being installed on your vehicle.

Our ceramic films like Stratos and Pinnacle factor out visible light heat as well as the IR wavelengths. The capacity to filter out IR is a testimony to the construction of the film itself.

Nano materials and ceramic allow invisible wavelengths to be rejected. A standard film can appear to look exactly the same but with vastly lower total solar energy rejection.

No we don’t expect you to become window film experts overnight or simply by reading this posting or browsing the internet.

Advanced Film Solutions has been doing window film for more than 40 years so we have this locked down!

We can explain the nuances between film and whether you should consider investing more for a better heat blocking film. That’s ultimately your choice completely!

Competitive Edge, Window Film For Tampa Bay Consumers

The window film business has been around since the 1960’s and you would be correct in assuming that given the tropical climate here in Florida there might be many window film companies to meet the demand.

Advanced Film Solutions began our path to becoming Florida’s number one window film company in 2007.

Prior to this launch we worked for 3M for 33 years. Our experience as south east sales executive and national sales manager for 3M window film was a strong foundation for this fledgling business.

The competitive landscape in 2007 was a daunting challenge.

Our goal was to develop our business from the ground floor by offering the best performing selections of window film using the best installers in the Tampa Bay region.

Advanced Film Solutions has grown during these last nearly 16 years.

We have built the best team of fully trained and experienced installers.

Our film portfolio has grown as well as we have adapted our product solutions to include the NFRC certified films manufactured by Eastman Chemical, Avery-Dennison, Madico, Saint-Gobain and 3M Fasara and Scotchcal.

Our customers matter. Meeting their expectations is the main objective because growth depends on our reputation and positive referrals.

The need in Florida for cooling solar and solar safety films is acute. Advanced Film Solutions is there for you and is ready to make your home comfortable and safe.

Tampa Window Film Vs. Buying New Windows Comparisons

Home owners facing inefficient windows and sliders will typically consider replacement with new higher performing glass systems.

Advanced Film Solutions is one of the largest window film installation companies in the USA.

Our thin film aftermarket solutions are applied to your existing windows and sliders making your windows energy efficient and secure than a window glass replacement at a fraction of the investment cost.

Considerations:

Our window film solutions performance characteristics are in many cases superior to a new window replacement.

These energy savings expectations are measured by the NFRC in the exact same testing measurements as a brand new window.

This means that you will improve your energy efficiency, glare rejection and UV elimination at a fraction of the cost of a window replacement.

Window film installed by Advanced Film Solutions is supported with a lifetime warranty against adhesive failure, peeling and de-lamination.

Tampa, Orlando How To Choose Between Security & Solar Window Film

Fall is almost upon us and Floridians now under stay at home orders consider methods for keeping their homes cooler and safer.

Advanced Film Solutions is the region leader in window film solutions and installation capabilities.

To be sure we have been developing our capabilities for the last 15 years and prior to that 33 years at 3M.

Our portfolio of solutions is unmatched and our installers are some of the best in the world. That’s not a guess or hype; we actually placed 2 of our installers in the top eight in the world.

The question at hand is how to decide between a strictly solar control window film as compared to a thicker (8 ML) clear or solar safety window film?

Solar films are thin film coatings available in a wide array of light transmissions. These coatings stop UV and as much as 85% of the total solar energy (Heat!)

Thicker safety iterations perform the solar control function but as they are much thicker these versions have a far greater puncture resistance and impact capabilities.

Above and below our installation at Sarasota International Airport for protective glazing blast mitigation concerns.

There are less solar security versions than the thinner versions and a slight cost uplift for the thicker coatings as compared to the thinner versions.

Advanced Film Solutions offers several brands of solar films and safety films manufactured by Eastman Chemical LLumar Select and Vista as well as SunTek.

We also install Madico and Sunscape, Avery Dennison Hanita and Solar Gard/ Armorcoat films.

If you are concerned about home intrusion or burglary or your home or office is subject to flying debris or an errant golf ball you should consider the thicker versions.

The industry is circumspect about defining the thicker films as a storm protection mitigation device.  These films do hold the glass in the frames when properly attached but the window will likely shatter whereas a code meeting shutter will prevent the window from breaking.

Advanced Film Solutions will discuss all of your options and provide the very best custom solutions all with a lifetime warranty.
