Tampa Bay Home Improvement: New Windows Vs. Window Film?

Florida homeowners are considering upgrading their windows and sliders.

The first thought for most people is a total window replacement.

Consumers are “sold” on the energy efficiency of IG units either because they have succumbed to advertising or peer pressure from friends and neighbors.

The cost for a complete window replacement is very expensive and the ROI may take more than 15 years to recover your investment.

That’s why thousands of Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota homeowners have researched and decided to initiate a retrofit window film solution by Advanced Film Solutions.

White Paper

Window film is applied to your existing windows and sliders. These thin film coatings transform your current windows into energy efficient systems that filter out more heat, glare and UV as compared to new windows at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Our payback is less than  2 years and our lifetime warranty and NFRC rated performance expectations takes the guess-work out!

TAMPA, ORLANDO, SARASOTA-BRADENTON

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.

Tampa Advanced Film Solutions Window Tinting Improves Glass

Clear glass windows and doors are what builders typically install when they build homes and offices in Florida.

Florida home owners in the tropical climate of Tampa Bay, Sarasota and Orlando understand just how many problems they face when they move into their new home.

  1. Rooms are too bright.

  1. Glare makes it impossible to watch TV or work on their computers.

  1. Furnishings and wood floors fade under the relentless heat, light and UV
  2. Privacy is non-existent.

  • Glass is easy for burglars to break in.

Today’s high technology window film solves these issues and more.

Thin films filter 99.9% of the UV and are available in scores of light transmissions. The homeowner can easily select the perfect light transmission which determines just how light, or dark a room can be.

Typically darker films will block more heat but there are next generation coatings that factor out more IR heat along with visible light.

This allows a lighter coating to block more total solar energy than a standard metalized film.

Advanced Film Solutions team of experts works with our clients to determine the perfect customized solution.

Leading manufacturer’s include Eastman Chemicals, Saint Gobain and Madico.

Thicker versions provide dual benefits of solar insulation as well as security and glass impact strength.
