Innovative Window Film Solutions For Tampa Bay Homeowners

Advanced Film Solutions is Tampa’s number one window film installation company.

A major aspect of our continuing market leadership is our ability to offer more solutions than any other competitor.

This covers a wide array of film technologies, brands and film appearance.

Our Eastman portfolio has been enhanced with new residential and commercial films that extend the capabilities of what we currently offer.

Combination solar safety security window film:

We are adding several shatter solar combination films that stop heat, UV and provide privacy along with the critically important glass protection capability.

Our darker solar film that stops 85% of the glare and 75% of the glare in a neutral warn earth tone appearance augments the security film portfolio.

These choices offer a lower interior reflection which improves the night viewing capability since these films are less reflective from an interior perspective.

We are also adding the recently launched extended line of spectrally selective films in darker light transmissions that maximize heat rejection since these unique coatings stop visible light heat as well as IR invisible heat.

This combination of total solar energy rejection gives our clients more of what Florida homes and businesses require: Heat stopping immediately!

Experts Doing Superb Window Film Installations

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.
