Heat Blocking Window Film Tampa & Orlando For Deed Restricted Communities

Many homeowners reside in gated, deed restricted communities.

These developments typically restrict the use of reflective sun control films because they are trying to preserve the aesthetic appeal of the homes in their neighborhood.

This is a similar situation faced by condo owners and historic buildings where heat, glare and UV are problems but the solution requires maximum heat rejection without the reflective appearance that many window films possess.

Advanced Film Solutions has the ideal solution utilizing 3M Prestige window film or Eastman Chemical’s ceramic IR heat blocking window films.

Our Huper Optik ceramic films and 3M Prestige window film factor out heat, glare and UV without adding a reflective appearance to your windows.

We have a wide range of light transmissions that tackle any heat problem and all of our selections pass the deed restrictions of all gated communities and HOA’s.

Huper Optik’s patented ceramic coatings are dye free and less reflective than glass. Views are preserved and the optical clarity of these coatings is unmatched.

Many window film choices look similar on a sample card or mock up.

Huper Optik and 3M Prestige are both NFRC certified so the performance expectations are lab tested and documented.

These ceramic films block an extraordinary amount of heat in the visible and invisible IR spectrum.

These coatings have a lifetime warranty and their durability will provide comfort for decades.

All of our estimates are free and you’ll get the very best precision installations for our team of installers who have earned the Super Service Award from Angie’s List for 10 consecutive years.

Tampa Region’s Smart Choices For Cooling UV Shatter Window Film

Most consumers have a limited amount of information concerning window film.

Checking online can eliminate some obvious issues since everyone claims to have the best solutions, etc.

Fortunately consumers can get detailed performance characteristics thanks to the NFRC which is a quasi-governmental agency that is the repository for factual, lab tested specifications for leading window film brands.

The NFRC (Click here) was developed to demonstrate accuracy in light of the anticipated energy savings that would eventually lead to Energy Star ratings.

While the intention of window film manufacturers to comply with the strict testing data imposed is admirable, an unintended virtue of the NFRC is to dispel numerous exaggerations frequently espoused during competitive sales calls and demonstrations.

Advanced Film Solutions is  Florida’s leading commercial and residential window film installation companies.

We remain steadfast in highlighting factual performance expectations and real-world film comparisons.

Here are a few examples:

3M Window Film is the well known superior window film solution for homes and condos that are under deed restrictions. Our Prestige and Prestige Ultra film meets all HOA rules and is virtually invisible on your windows and sliders.

IR heat blocking films like 3M Prestige and Huper Optik  filter out a large percentage of the IR wavelengths as IR wavelengths make up more than 50% of total solar energy (Heat)

The remaining portion of heat is a factor of visible light being filtered.

Advanced Film Solutions represents 3M and Eastman Chemical and their portfolio of Vista, LLumar, Huper Optik coatings.

We prefer facts.

Documented performance and results.

  • Advanced Film Solutions has earned the Super Service Award from Angie’s List for 13 years the only Florida company that can match that!
