Window Tinting The Answer For Your New Tampa Bay Home

It wasn’t an intentional mistake when your home builder determined what type of glass would be included in your brand new home.

Odessa Ivy Lake

They were hoping to make your Florida home bright and inviting.

If you have a gulf or lake view they were counting on this to motivate a sale.

Your new home does provide that view but there were unintentional negative  consequences:

  • Fading

  • Loss of privacy

  • Easy entry for burglars

  • Ridiculously high cooling costs!

If you are rolling in cash and price is no object; you should call a window replacement company who will charge thousands of dollar a window.

While you are at it, don’t forget that oil change on the Maserati!

There is a smarter, affordable and super effective way to solve these problems:

Window Film

Yeah I know you are thinking that window film is some type of temporary solution that will bubble or turn purple.

Think again!

Technological improvements have taken your granddaddy’s window film into the 21st Century .

First of all these durable coatings are dye free and will last for decades.

Thin films can be nearly invisible and yet remain effective by factoring out invisible IR wavelengths.

Your window film investment will be less than 10% the cost of a window replacement and our films are all NFRC certified for accurate performance expectations.

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.
