Clear, Durable & Effective Tampa Bay, Orlando Window Film Solutions

Advanced Film Solutions is the leading window film installation company in the Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Sarasota region of Florida.

It has taken more than a decade of success as a family owned business to reach this high level of performance.

In fact, Advanced Film Solutions has been one of the top 15 window film businesses in the entire country the last seven years as documented in Window Film Magazine.

It is important that our potential clients understand that we are providing thin film applications on existing windows and glass doors and sliders that stop heat, glare and UV.

These films are durable and optically transparent, and our clients select just how dark or light they want their rooms to be during the daytime.

There may be an element of skepticism concerning the effectiveness or durability of window film solutions out in the collective consciousness of the consumer’s mind.

This negative perception is based on the purple, bubbling tint they see on some cars on our roads.

The thought is: “if this is what is going to happen to my window film, I’d rather take my chances with the clear glass I already have!”

We understand.

There was a time when window tinting was made using dyes and less than durable adhesives. These films wouldn’t last very long, peeled and bubbles while turning purple. Even today some cheaply made tints can have the same result.

Advanced Film Solutions will only install stable, lifetime warranted coatings manufactured by Eastman Chemicals. These thin films won’t peel, bubble or change color.

These coatings are distortion free and do exactly what we say they will do as documented by the NFRC in independent testing.

Our clients have their expectations matched or exceeded every time.

We won’t settle for anything less.

Advanced Film Solutions has performed more than 32,000 installations throughout the Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota region as well as commercial windows throughout the south east USA.

We are dedicated to solving the problems of overheated rooms, flying debris and faded furnishings.

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.

Protective Glazing Window Film Ship Safe, Advanced Film Solutions

Advanced Film Solutions provided protective glazing security window film for a tanker ship.

The ship was docked for resupply and their primary concern was the protection of their crew against pirates at sea.

The bridge deck windows were protected with LLumar Clear Shatter Control window film.

The application was further hardened with a wet seal attachment system that creates a system between the glass, frames and the LLumar Film.

This application will maintain the integrity of the window envelope. If Somali pirates shoot at the bridge windows the glass will remain in the frames. This is similar to the objectives of retail store asset protection and school safety requirements.

Many of our local government building have contracted with Advanced Film Solutions to protect their people and property.

The optical clarity and documented performance combined with the installation capabilities of our techs made this smooth sailing!

Our team protected a sister ship last year docked in Taiwan!
