Tampa Car Tinting Facts. Choosing The Perfect Automotive Film

Tampa drivers have lots of window tinting choices and for many consumers there is an incredible lack of knowledge about the differences between them.

Advanced Film Solutions is Tampa’s LLumar SelectPro- FormulaOne High Performance window film installation company.

We have choices just like our customers and given our 40 plus years experience in this business we’d like to educate Tampa drivers about the differences in automotive films and why our LLumar FormulaOne films are the smart choice.

  • Our coatings are dye free. Dyed films are cheaper to buy but in swift order they lose their color, optical clarity and performance. These are the bubbled glass windows you notice while driving around the Bay area. We don’t want unhappy clients so we stay away from films that are not color or adhesive stable.

  • Some films can interfere with satellite radio, GPS and cell phones because of metal in the film components. Advanced Film Solutions recommends ceramic IR heat blocking films like Pinnacle and Stratos that have no signal interference yet perform heat rejection like a metal film would.

  • We represent the Eastman Chemical film line. This is a huge American based company that is easily the world leader.We appreciate their innovation and their 100 year ability to support their warranty should anything go wrong with their film. This is important for our customers since things rarely go poorly and you should expect that to be fixed at no cost to you.

  • No name brands or tinting from an unknown source typically leaves this squarely on your shoulders. That should be unacceptable to you as well.

  • Our techs are the most experienced and utilize high speed plotters and precision software to cut templates that exactly match your car or SUV windows. This eliminates errors, sharp cutting on your glass or gaps. This automated system reduces waiting times as well which is important because you are busy and hate losing a day for car tinting.

  • We install in a clean environment rather than in a driveway. This reduces debris, dust and bubbles.
  • We offer more warranted choices than competition so you get what you require  in performance and appearance. That means light transmissions and total solar heat rejection.

Do your research and call Advanced Film Solutions for more information, questions or scheduling.

LLumar Window Film Vs. Replacing Windows The Clear Choice

Window film is an aftermarket retrofit solution that transforms your inefficient single pane or dual pane windows into heat filtering units at a fraction of the cost for a window replacement.

Today’s durable lifetime warranted window film will not bubble, peel or fade. The number of choices is incredible ranging from dark light transmissions to clear IR heat blocking films.

We also recommend dual benefit solar security window films that will strengthen your glass providing shatter control and theft protection.

There are low e coatings that provide summer and winter benefits by maintaining the interior room temperatures no matter how hot or cold it gets outside.

Optically transparent coatings are warranted for a lifetime and filter out 99.9% of harmful UV rays.

While damaged or deteriorating windows simply have to be replaced, window tinting provides an affordable alternative to replacement when your goal is to improve energy efficiency.

In fact, the cost for quick, professional installation is about one-tenth the cost of replacement windows!

Advanced Film Solutions with offices in Tampa Bay, Sarasota and Orlando offers more choices of coatings than any other window film installation company.

We can meet any deed restriction or HOA rule thanks to our non-reflective coatings.

These films are all NFRC certified so you will get the performance expected and the durability you require.

Tampa Bay, Orlando Window Film Consumer Comparisons

Advanced Film Solutions is proud to promote the  Eastman Chemical window film products.

What  consumers may not know is that Eastman Chemical is the world’s largest manufacturer of solar and solar security window film.

Their brands include LLumar, Vista, SunTek and Huper Optik.

Still there may be a perception that 3M is the leader in window film based on their well known Scotch brands, etc. and this inaccurate belief may skew some consumers into believing that the 3M window film is the top choice for residential and commercial films.

This is decidedly not the case in any objective comparison of product depth, capabilities or performance.

Eastman films out-perform the limited 3M choices in each major product category:

Solar Films:

The Eastman solar film portfolio includes a wider choice in light transmissions and appearance.

Reflective and dual reflective films as well as non-reflective ceramic and spectrally selective films.

These Eastman films are all NFRC certified and can easily be compared to the very limited 3M NFRC database. In terms of security films used for life safety and asset protection there is really no comparison.

Eastman’s LLumar film meets all critical testing requirements including GSA, DOD and ASTM and European Smash standards.

Choices include several neutral choices, silver and several dual reflective security films as well as thicker coatings of 7, 8, 11 ml or thicker for various applications.

The Huper Optik ceramic films are IR heat blocking choices ideal for deed restricted or gated communities.

These films out-perform the 3M prestige series as they provide superior heat rejection and better glare control features.

Additionally the clarity of the Eastman adhesives is superior to the 3M adhesives.

Huper Optik is dye free unlike the aforementioned Prestige films, so the heat filtering capabilities of the Huper Film will not degrade over time.

Competitive Edge, Window Film For Tampa Bay Consumers

The window film business has been around since the 1960’s and you would be correct in assuming that given the tropical climate here in Florida there might be many window film companies to meet the demand.

Advanced Film Solutions began our path to becoming Florida’s number one window film company in 2007.

Prior to this launch we worked for 3M for 33 years. Our experience as south east sales executive and national sales manager for 3M window film was a strong foundation for this fledgling business.

The competitive landscape in 2007 was a daunting challenge.

Our goal was to develop our business from the ground floor by offering the best performing selections of window film using the best installers in the Tampa Bay region.

Advanced Film Solutions has grown during these last nearly 16 years.

We have built the best team of fully trained and experienced installers.

Our film portfolio has grown as well as we have adapted our product solutions to include the NFRC certified films manufactured by Eastman Chemical, Avery-Dennison, Madico, Saint-Gobain and 3M Fasara and Scotchcal.

Our customers matter. Meeting their expectations is the main objective because growth depends on our reputation and positive referrals.

The need in Florida for cooling solar and solar safety films is acute. Advanced Film Solutions is there for you and is ready to make your home comfortable and safe.

Tampa Window Film Vs. Buying New Windows Comparisons

Home owners facing inefficient windows and sliders will typically consider replacement with new higher performing glass systems.

These new windows will reduce heat and glare (if tinted) and will certainly improve heat loss and potentially enhance security.

Advanced Film Solutions is one of the largest window film installation companies in the USA.

Our thin film aftermarket solutions are applied to your existing windows and sliders making your windows energy efficient and secure than a window glass replacement at a fraction of the investment cost.

Considerations:

Our window film solutions performance characteristics are in many cases superior to a new window replacement.

These energy savings expectations are measured by the NFRC in the exact same testing measurements as a brand new window.

This means that you will improve your energy efficiency, glare rejection and UV elimination at a fraction of the cost of a window replacement.

Window film installed by Advanced Film Solutions is supported with a lifetime warranty against adhesive failure, peeling and de-lamination.

This is critically important because many consumers have a low opinion of window tinting based on their observation of failed car tinting that has turned purple or demonstrates bubbling or peeling particularly on rear windows.

Window film technology developed by Eastman Chemical for flat glass residential and commercial applications has eliminated these issues and these coatings are designed to be optically clear, durable and they will maintain their appearance and performance for decades.

Advanced Film Solutions recommends that you get a free estimate from our team and compare our film solutions compared to a window replacement.

With 24,000 window film installations; we can assure you that our solutions meet and exceed our clients requirements and continue to provide comfort, safety and energy efficiency for your neighbors throughout the region.
