Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and while Florida homeowners are preparing to welcome family and friends, there’s another important way to prepare your home for the season: make it cooler, more comfortable, and better protected from the Florida sunshine!
Here in Tampa Bay, we enjoy beautiful sunshine throughout the year. Unfortunately, that same sunshine can create some uncomfortable challenges inside our homes. Excessive solar heat, annoying glare, fading furniture, damaged flooring, and rising air-conditioning costs are common frustrations for homeowners throughout Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and surrounding communities.
Fortunately, there is a smart, affordable solution that doesn’t require replacing your existing windows.
Advanced Film Solutions brings the world’s leading window film technologies from 3M and Eastman directly to your home’s glass.
Our professionally installed, NFRC-rated window film solutions help stop heat, glare, and harmful UV rays right at the glass, transforming your existing windows into more energy-efficient, comfortable, and protective systems.
TV viewing or working on your tablet or PC has become a chore and rooms are too bright, hot and furnishings are fading.
Why Tampa Bay Homeowners Are Choosing Window Film
Imagine enjoying your favorite room without the afternoon sun turning it into a greenhouse. Imagine watching television without fighting reflections and glare. Imagine protecting your beautiful hardwood floors, furnishings, artwork, and interior finishes from years of damaging ultraviolet exposure.
That’s the difference high-performance residential window film can make.
Advanced Film Solutions offers an extensive selection of premium 3M and Eastman window films engineered to address the unique challenges of Florida homes.
Here are some of the outstanding benefits:
1. Stop Excessive Solar Heat Before It Enters Your Home
Florida sunshine can create substantial solar heat gain, especially through south- and west-facing windows and sliding glass doors.
Our advanced 3M Prestige and Eastman LLumar and Vista solar control films are designed to reject significant amounts of solar energy while maintaining beautiful natural views.
The result?
- More comfortable living spaces.
- Reduced hot spots near windows.
- Less strain on your air-conditioning system.
- More consistent indoor temperatures.
- Potential reductions in cooling energy consumption.
Rather than continuously asking your air conditioner to fight the heat entering through your glass, why not address the problem where it begins?
2. Enjoy Your Home Without Annoying Glare
Glare can make some of the most beautiful rooms in your home difficult to enjoy.
Whether you’re watching television, working from home, reading, or simply relaxing, excessive sunlight can become a daily annoyance.
Our 3M and Eastman film selections offer different levels of visible light transmission and solar control, allowing us to tailor the solution to your home’s needs.
You don’t have to sacrifice beautiful natural light to achieve a more comfortable environment.
3. Protect Your Home’s Interior From Harmful UV Rays
One of the most overlooked benefits of professional window film is ultraviolet protection.
UV exposure contributes significantly to the fading and deterioration of:
- Hardwood floors.
- Luxury vinyl flooring.
- Furniture and upholstery.
- Area rugs and carpeting.
- Artwork and decorative finishes.
- Window treatments.
Many of our premium 3M and Eastman film selections block up to 99.9% of harmful UV radiation.
That means an additional layer of protection for the valuable furnishings and finishes you’ve invested in over the years.
While fading can also result from visible light, heat, and other environmental factors, reducing UV exposure is an important step toward preserving your home’s interior.
NFRC Ratings: Independent Performance Information You Can Trust
Here’s where Advanced Film Solutions really separates itself from ordinary window tinting companies.
We believe homeowners deserve more than marketing promises. They deserve documented performance information.
That’s why we emphasize NFRC-rated window film selections.
The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is an independent organization that tests, certifies, and labels the energy performance of windows, doors, skylights, and window films.
NFRC ratings provide valuable information that allows homeowners to make informed comparisons when selecting window film.
Important performance measurements include:
- Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): Measures how much solar heat passes through the glass assembly. Lower values indicate less solar heat gain.
- Visible Transmittance (VT): Measures how much visible daylight passes through the glass assembly.
- U-Factor: Measures the rate of heat transfer through the window assembly.
These measurements help take the guesswork out of selecting the right window film.
At Advanced Film Solutions, we offer leading 3M and Eastman technologies with independently documented NFRC performance information for applicable film and glass configurations.
It’s a smarter way to compare products and understand what you’re purchasing.
3M and Eastman: Two Outstanding Names in Window Film Technology
Advanced Film Solutions has carefully developed a portfolio featuring some of the industry’s most respected manufacturers.
3M Prestige Window Film
3M Prestige represents some of the most advanced solar control technology available for residential applications.
Its multilayer optical film technology delivers impressive solar performance while maintaining excellent clarity and a natural appearance.
Homeowners who want meaningful heat rejection without making their windows look dark or overly reflective appreciate the technology behind 3M Prestige.
Eastman Performance Films: LLumar and Vista
Eastman brings an extensive portfolio of residential solar control and solar security film technologies to our customers.
Our LLumar and Vista selections offer an impressive range of performance characteristics, appearances, and light transmissions.
Whether you’re looking for subtle solar control, ceramic technology, enhanced glare reduction, or additional glass protection, there are solutions designed to meet a wide variety of residential requirements.
The advantage of working with Advanced Film Solutions is that we aren’t limited to just one manufacturer or one type of film.
We can evaluate your glass, your home’s exposure, your preferences, and your performance objectives to recommend the appropriate solution.
Why Replace Your Windows When You Can Improve Them?
Window replacement can be a major home improvement expense.
In many situations, professionally installed residential window film provides an economical alternative to replacing otherwise suitable existing windows.
The film is applied directly to the glass, providing an additional performance layer without changing the overall structure of your windows.
You can enjoy:
- Improved solar heat control.
- Reduced glare.
- Significant UV protection.
- Greater comfort throughout your home.
- Preserved natural views.
- Long-lasting performance.
And with properly selected products and professional installation, your investment can provide benefits for many years.
