Tampa Bay’s Perfect Window Film Makes Homes Cooler

There are many variables for determining the perfect window film for your unique requirements.

It can become confusing so we thought it might be helpful to provide a quick checklist for making the right selection.

 

Residential and commercial window film requires a skill set of installation capability that differentiates itself from car tinting.  The installation company should be fully equipped, insured and properly credentialed.

Advanced Film Solutions has 15 years of experience since leaving 3M (33 years there!)

Our team of installation experts has the most experience in the state of Florida.
We have a superb A Plus Rating with the Better Business Bureau and an unmatched 9 years of earning the Super Service Award from Angie’s list. (Angi)

Type of film:

There are scores of window film choices, brands and appearance.

Reflective and dual reflective coatings filter out heat and provide privacy during the daytime. These films are durable and their adhesive clarity is pristine.

The leader in reflective film and clear adhesives is Eastman Chemical.  These films are sold under the LLumar SelectPro and Vista brands.

These coatings have a transferable lifetime warranty and are available in more light transmissions (including bronze, silver and neutral) than any other manufacturer.

Non- reflective:

The objective is to filter out the most heat without adding any exterior reflectivity to your windows or sliders. Here again the Eastman Huper Optik ceramic films meet the most strict HOA’ rules and deed restrictions!

Solar safety security combination films:

Our LLumar and Vista Solar security films are available in multiple light transmissions so matching your security need with the right light transmission is a breeze!

Stop Tampa Heat Without Changing The Look Of Your Windows

It’s going to be yet another brutally hot summer in the Tampa Bay, Sarasota and Orlando area.

Afternoon temps are soaring and the humidity makes staying cool a challenge.

Solving rising interior temperatures with window film makes great sense.

Today’s newer technology coatings can stop as much as 85% of the heat from coming through your windows and nearly 100% of the UV.

These window film solutions factor our IR wavelengths as well as visible light heat.

Ceramic nanotechnology film combines these advantages while keeping the appearance non reflective which is ideal for gated communities.

The problem for many consumers was the reflective appearance of metallic coatings. These films do the job but change the look of your windows and sliders.

The solution is IR heat blocking coatings like the series of ceramic films by Huper Optik.

Huper Optik coatings meet all HOA rules and deed restrictions. There are no dyes in these films so clarity and transparency are ensured.

Consumers have a wide range of light transmissions to choose from which guaranty’s superior client satisfaction.

The finest homes in Florida have Huper Optik on their windows!

Window Tinting Comparison Eastman Vs. 3M Window Film

Perception Vs. Reality.

Many consumers are familiar with the 3M Brand.

Small wonder because 3M makes thousands of products that consumers use every day; from Post-It Notes to Scotch Tape.

Home and business owners may be less familiar with Eastman Chemicals although they certainly know Eastman Kodak.

Eastman Chemicals separated from Eastman Kodak more than 25 years ago.

Eastman Chemicals is the world leader in window film technology, manufacturing and sales.

Advanced Film Solutions provides superior installations of Eastman window film sold under the LLumar, Vista, Huper Optik, and SunTek trademarks.

Flat Glass- residential and Commercial window film:

PhysicalPropertiesOnePagerL2349(Jan2020)

Eastman Chemicals has a broad array of light transmissions and films of varied aesthetics.

Reflective films, dual reflective films and non reflective coatings in a wide range.

All of the residential and commercial choices have been NFRC certified for veracity in anticipated performance.

The 3M portfolio is extremely limited in terms of light transmissions and appearance.

For example our LLumar dual reflectives which out-perform the 3M Night Vision series is available in darker and lighter versions. The Vista films are also dual reflective and are also available in more choices of light filtering.

In terms of security film there is simply no comparison.

Our LLumar and Vista films are available in stronger 8 ML versions in dozens of light transmissions compared to 3M’s thinner limited security films.

Our Eastman Huper Optik series has several critical advantages over the 3M Prestige series.

Huper Optik has no dyes in the composition of the film. This ensures durability and color stability. The 3M Prestige films employ dyes and these light filtering chemicals can be scratched off of the film quite easily.

The adhesive superiority of Huper Optik’s clarity easily out performs the 3M Prestige film.

Our Huper Optik films are available in darker versions (20%-30%) where glare rejection and maximum heat rejection is crucial. Our Huper Drei is the best heat rejecting 35% film in the industry and easily out-performs the 3M Prestige 40.

Window Film For Tampa-Clearwater Heat Control Perfect Balance

Homeowners throughout Tampa bay, Orlando and Sarasota appreciate the numerous benefits of having solar control window film applied to their windows.

Advanced Film Solutions has provided energy control films on nearly 23,000 homes in the last 14 years.

Our in home estimates allow our clients the opportunity to choose the perfect film for their specific requirements and aesthetic preferences.

Reflective, dual reflective coatings:

Our portfolio of films covers a wide range of light transmissions and heat filtering capabilities.

Dual reflective films present a reflective appearance from the exterior view and a lower reflection from the interior. These films allow for night vision and will give the homeowner daytime privacy while factoring out heat.

No other company in Florida has as many choices. The se films range from our 5% straight through light transmissions of 58-60%

Non- Reflective coatings:

Our Ceramic Huper Optik coatings and Vista ceramic and spectrally selective films are less reflective than glass.

These coatings are perfect for deed restricted gated communities and they block a range of total solar energy from 75% to 49%

 

It should be noted that darker films in any composition factor out more heat than lighter versions of these films. This includes our spectrally selective films that filter out IR wavelengths.

There are some 3M dealers who confuse IR wavelengths with heat. This confusion leads them to make erroneous claims that a lighter 70% film can block 97% of the heat. This is clearly untrue.

Fortunately the NFRC has established factual, lab tested performance characteristics that highlight the actual performance of their prestige film as well as the Eastman Chemical portfolio we represent.
