Tampa Bay Compares Window Film Vs. Window Replacement

As Florida homeowners prepare for the long hot summer that is fast approaching, consumers are considering alternatives to combat hot rooms and rising energy costs.

Most consumers are not aware of the incredible benefits that would be enjoyed with today’s solar window film.

Built for the hot Florida summers our solar films can filter 99.9% of the UV and up to 85% of the total solar energy that would otherwise stream through windows and sliders.

Most homeowners appreciate that their clear glass windows are the culprit and typically their first though is a complete window replacement.

When comparing a window replacement to a retrofit application of window film the cost versus benefits should be critically compared.

If your windows aren’t leaking air or water than window film is the superior solution.

Cost-wise window film is 1/10th the cost of replacing your windows.

The performance expectations of window film are NFRC rated just the same as new replacement windows.

Our window film warranty is a lifetime of worry free protection and the energy efficiency of solar films and our Low E films are unmatched!

At the very least you should run your own cost comparisons and obtain a free estimate from Advanced Film Solutions!

With offices in Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota we will show you how to keep cooler and save up to 30% a month off your summer electric bill with window film!

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.
