Tampa Store Owners Cut Electric Bills With Window Tinting
Small business owners throughout the greater Tampa Bay area are painfully aware of their rising electric costs either from TECO or Progress Energy.
Window Films are a logical choice based upon the immediate reduction in cooling costs and the associated benefits of customer comfort, reduced glare and UV as well as smash and grab security features of our thicker films.
Retail stores and restaurants tend to require films that allow visibility into the interior of the store. We offer an extensive portfolio of non-reflective ceramic films from the leaders in window film technology; VISTA Films and Huper Optik.
Smaller offices that get baked with southern, eastern or western exposure might prefer the darker reflective series of films that eliminate nearly 80% of the heat and glare.
Whichever your choice you'll be rewarded with window film rebates from our local power companies!
Call today and improve that bottom line with Advanced Film Solutions

"People may be surprised to learn that car windows don't provide complete sun protection," said Perry Robins, president of The Skin Cancer Foundation . "Ultraviolet radiation reaches us in the form of shortwave UVB and long-wave UVA rays , but glass blocks only UVB effectively."
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends the following ways to protect your skin, particularly when spending extended time in the car:
* Treat your vehicle to window film: Transparent window film screens out almost 100 percent of UVB and UVA without reducing visibility, and is available in all 50 states. If you have window film installed, remember that it protects you only when the windows are closed. When shopping for window film, be sure to check if the product has The Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation."

Prestige Versus Huper Optik & VISTA Films Tampa-Orlando Sarasota
Given the number of phone calls that we have been receiving lately asking for a direct film to film comparison between 3M and Huper Optik/Vista; I thought it might be helpful to offer this competitive analysis.
In one corner 3M Prestige Films. In the opposite corner Huper Optik nanoceramic films
And VISTA Films in a separate bout!
We will make some broad assumptions based upon our experience in the real world of window film competition where we win against 3M prestige or their home depot agents every single day of the week here in Central Florida.
Here we did a side by side comparison between Huper 50 and Prestige 50. The prospective client immediately selected our Huper Optik based on optical clarity and hue.
Pretty amazing; if only it were true.
You might actually be ready to pull out your wallet or have a bank armor delivery truck show up to hand that 3M dealer your $$
STOP!
Here's what they did not tell you!
That heat lamp trick is a gimmick designed to fool you.
The IR wavelengths of that lamp are in sync with that BTU meter. I can explain how that illusion works but suffice to say think David Copperfield swallowing fire!
They didn't show you the NFRC website where all certified films have been qualified on various window glass configurations.
They didn't show you the actual prestige film because their sample card does not include their adhesive system. That's right. .kind of missed that one didn't you?
Of course the film looks pretty darn clear on that sample card. I wonder how it will look on your glass?
The hazy panel is 3M the balance? Huper Optik!
The more you know the more we win!

We will make some broad assumptions based upon our experience in the real world of window film competition where we win against 3M prestige or their home depot agents every single day of the week here in Central Florida.
- Let's assume that you live in an upscale home with plenty of heat streaming in through your windows.
- Let's assume that you may live in a deed restricted or gated community where a reflective film is not allowed; or simply your preference is a non reflective appearance for you windows!
- I'll also assume that you have been given a 3M demo or sales pitch using an IR Heat lamp, BTU meter and perhaps some sample comparisons between their prestige film and a competitive (much darker) film. You were shown how much more heat their prestige 70 blocks out compared to these dark reflective films. . .right?
Pretty amazing; if only it were true.

(Not really- -that's why we win in side by side comparisons)
- Check the NFRC websites
- Check the IWFA information on misleading claims about IR rejection
- Check the Huper Optik Website
- Check Vista
The hazy panel is 3M the balance? Huper Optik!
- We offer superior optical clarity
- We offer greater glare reduction in our 30% compared to their 40%
- Our scratch coating is superior to the prestige film.
- Our warranty is transferable
- Our hue is more neutral and will not color shift to blue
- We offer superior glass warranty for breakage and seal failure up to $2000 per window
- Our films will not interfere with signals
- All films work better at an angle (obviously!)
- You can use Windex on our films just like they do!
- Let's discuss the cost- -shall we?
The more you know the more we win!

IR Window Film Myths Versus Reality, The Techies Prestige Response
TECH UPDATE
Let me make this very simple:
CP Films issued this update several years ago to combat misleading and inaccurate claims that are made by our prestige competition.
This may or may not mean a hill of beans to you; but it floats my boat and that's all that matters. After all- - this is my blog!
Their prestige film does NOT reject 97% of the infrared, or as some of their dealers claim "the heat!"
They are filtering IR wavelength in a very narrow bandwidth and the measurement tool conveniently measures in that same narrow spectrum.
GIMMICK
This gives the illusion that their film is removing almost all the heat when in fact - -it is not!
There are laser temperature devices that can prove our point; but why bother?
Just look up their ratings on the NFRC website and compare to the other films!

Home Depot Window Film Or Advanced Film Solutions?
The recent launch of the VISTA EnerLogic All Season window film has raised the bar on solar energy rejection performance.
Imagine a window film that can block 76% of the solar energy while insulating your windows in the colder months?
Frankly only CP Films has the technology platform in thin films and coatings to produce this solution that doubles the capabilities of a film in this category compared to the 3M Low E series.
The EnerLogic Films have a lifetime warranty and a 15 year commercial warranty as compared to the 3M Low E films that can not be expected to last for more than five years!
Still; many Florida consumers are limited in their knowledge concerning window film and are apt to take the path of least resistance when shopping for energy solutions.
You've heard of 3M ( I certainly have since I spent 33 years with 3M!) and you are likely somewhat familiar with their logo.
Certainly you are acquainted with Home Depot so naturally your assumption might be that having a home installation done by a 3M -Home depot dealer might just be the best choice?
Fact over hyperbole:

Fact over hyperbole:
- Our VISTA dual reflective solar security films meet the ASTM1886 C (4.5 Lb missile test and cycling) the 3M solar security films are too thin to meet that level of performance.Vista 8 ML Missile Report
- Our Films are all NFRC certified. Many 3M films are as well so you should compare true performance based on this objective government rating agency. We have to alert our clients who are shopping because the performance claims by many of our competitors is unbelievable simply because it is not true!
- No window film blocks 97% of the heat or 97% of the IR. Advanced Film Solutions offers Huper Optik nanoceramic films that out perform their prestige 40 and qualify for rebates as well as complying with all deed restrictions.
- All window films work better at an angle. This spurious attribute of the 3M films has been scoffed at by the industry but has not been halted by their sale staff.
- The BTU demo is illusion since the wavelength of the light is exactly the wavelength measured by the BTU meter. It's misleading to say the very least!
- Pricing: We have reviewed dozens of quotations directly from prospective clients. Let's put it mildly; if you are looking for the best performance and the best value call us at 877-575-3456
You'd have to be a _______ to pay twice as much for less!
- Choices: Not even close. We offer the leading brands in capabilities and sales.
- Warranty: Our residential warranty is automatically transferable.
- Care and maintenance: Use Windex! Any statements by our competition that their film has a better hard coat or somehow can do a better job of lasting against Windex is utter nonsense!

Reduce Your Tampa Electric Bill With Window Tinting
How many times have you heard a sales person tell you that buying their product will pay for itself in ____ months/years??
How many times did that prove to be accurate?
Well before I take you down that path again let's talk credibility!
Advanced Film Solutions installs lifetime warranted energy reducing window films that prevent the heat from entering your home.
How much of the solar energy that gets blocked is up to you; a balancing choice between performance and aesthetics.
Reflective films like our LLumar and Solar Gard (silver and reflective dark neutral films) block nearly 80% of the solar energy. These films offer privacy during the day, and as dark as they are they block 85% of the glare and provide maximum protection against fading.
Perhaps these films are too shiny for your taste or the interior reflectivity of these films obstruct your night views?
That's where Vista Films and our Ceramic Huper Optik and Lumenesse Films come into play.
These are non metallic non reflective films that block higher percentages of IR and that allows us to install lighter transmitting films that offer dynamic reductions in solar heat.
Here's how these films REALLY pay for themselves:
Our local power company TECO and Progress Energy offer $1.00 rebates (for many of our darker films but generally a film that blocks more than 60% of the visible light or darker!)
You may qualify for Federal Tax Credits at a triple rate in 2010.
AND. .
Depending upon the film you select (based on the NFRC performance, quantified and confirmed, you can make that educated choice.

Someone asked me if I missed the that LOGO?
That red 3M logo that was on my business card for 33 years.
The subject came up yesterday when we were discussing our last 6 months sales and our business plans for 2008.
One key adviser made the comment that if we had that logo, imagine how many more installations we might have performed simply based on the consumers awareness level of the 3M name? Plus he went on, "with your background as National Sales Manager, imagine your credibility?"
This is pretty much what I told him:
Certainly I am proud of my 33 years with 3M.
I am also realistic in recognizing, all things being equal, an uninformed (in window film) consumer would be inclined to select the better known logo over a company or solution that was less well known to them.
Would it help getting in the door?
Probably!
Would we be able to up our installed prices based upon the consumer's perception?
Possibly!
Would that Logo placed on an ad, generate a better return or response rate?
Very likely!
Is that the "be all and end all" the difference between winning versus losing?
Absolutely not!
We deal in facts rather than hyperbole.
Consumers, particularly in a tougher economy, are less inclined to make a knee jerk selection when it comes to investing in a window film solution. Now more than ever with Hurricanes squeezing Florida right in the middle!
Our emphasis is on educating our clients.
Accurately comparing our Lumenesse Vista, LLumar and Huper Optik Window Films versus the logo boys or our Solar Gard friends.
If the logo should win based on the consumer's research and determination that they actually offer a better and documented safer solution, than so be it!
After all this Hilton is also very well known!
When Advanced Film Solutions consults with prospective clients we have a somewhat unique advantage.
We are quite familiar with the "logo films" compared with the Vista Window Film and Lumenesse portfolio. We can demonstrate the advantage in performance, optical quality and why interior designers select our Lumenesse or Vista Films.
We can also explain why having Vista Films certified by the NFRC are so important!
These ratings separate fact from fantasy about film performance.
Our films are certified, theirs? Hmmmmm. (NO!)
Plus our full line of combination solar and security films that pass the ASTM medium Large Missile Test and Cycling that they fail.
We deal with facts, features, quantifiable advantages and benefits.
We win based on these solid facts.
In more homes and buildings throughout Florida than any other window film company.
Advanced Film Solutions!
We love the comparison!
We'll show you why we are different.

Window Film USA Huper Optik Window Films The Prestige Ceramic Technology
Huper Optik-Warm natural light
Homeowners and retail store owners want to reduce the heat coming into their windows but of equal importance, protect the aesthetics of their glass.
Huper 30
They want to experience the benefits of window film without a metallic shiny glass appearance!
The choices drill down to Huper Optik versus the 3M multi-layered prestige series.
That hazy panel is 3M
Points that are equal:
- Ceramic and prestige films do not interfere with EM or RF signals- Call it a draw!
- Huper Optik Ceramic and prestige films all reduce the UV by 99.9%- A draw!
- All films including Huper Optik Ceramic and prestige films work better at an angle- That's also draw and silly even to mention, except for the fact that they brought this up as an advantage! It isn't!
- Yes we use Windex!
- Huper Optik Ceramic Films reduce as much of the entire infrared as their prestige film. There is no advantage in that respect despite their misleading jargon about 97% IR rejection. What is most critical is the amount of heat the film rejects.
TSER On Angle White Paper
- Ceramic Films will never rust or corrode, neither will their prestige. Another draw!
They bring this issue up because there are silver films like Hi-lite, and V-Kool that can oxidize in humid environments. This is typically never clarified by 3M, so consumers may be mislead into believing that all films corrode except theirs.
This is false!
Their film when the Sun hits the windows at an angle.
The exact same window with Lumenesse 70 Film
- Our Huper Optik and are available in a 30% version. We cut more glare and heat than their 40%
- This qualifies our ceramic films for Teco and Progress Energy rebates. Their 40 does not pass muster!
Why would anyone want to pass on a $200 rebate?
- The optical quality and clarity of Huper Optik and are unmatched by prestige film which tends to haze.
- Our hue is neutral theirs is "blue." You may like a blue look in your home but Interior Designers typically advise not to alter the hue of the light streaming through your windows. It can clash with your unique color scheme.
- Huper Optik has a superior hard coat. Huper Optik does not have any dyes!
Throughout the country we have won against prestige films for the above reasons and the better cost advantages for our Huper Optik ceramic films.

Tint Gone Bad- Window Tinting Removal Tampa-Orlando-Clearwater
Unfortunately most of the window tinting that was done in Florida in the 1970's and 1980's has gone bad.
Many films were dyed polyester films that you would expect in a low cost car tinting. These films looked terrific for awhile but the UV inhibitors degraded and the dyes migrated to purple or created optical distortion.
No matter what cased the problem Advanced Film Solutions can remove this junk from your windows.
We would be happy to replace this mess with VISTA or Huper Optik Window Films that are warranted for a lifetime of enjoyment and energy savings usage.

Tampa Tropical Storms, Hurricanes, Window Tint-Oh My!
Advanced Film Solutions wins against all window film contenders and pretenders.
Just last week we have completed 17 home installations of our VISTA Safety and Security Films along with our LLumar Huper Optik Nano-Ceramic and Lumenesse Window Films.
There are tangible reasons that Florida homeowners select our Lumenesse and VISTA Window Films.
1. VISTA and LLumar 8 ML Films pass the critical 4.5 LB missile test. LLumar Test Pass
VISTA TEST PASS
2. VISTA Mirage and Luminance 8 ML Safety and Security window films are lower reflective by 50% from the interior view compared to our LLumar line and the Stainless Safety films from BSF
Vista's V38 was designed specifically for homeowners who want the strength of a VISTA Product but prefer more interior light.
3. VISTA's Lifetime Warranty is automatically transferable. If you should ever sell your home the new homeowner has the same coverage as you had. The "other guys" end the warranty the moment you sell your home. This increased the value of your installation and home improvement!
4. We determine your specific requirements and identify the issues you are trying to solve. Our estimates are always based on exact measurements and our pricing never has any hidden charges that spring up after the decision is made.
5. Our Huper Optik Window Films have no metals so there is no reflectivity from the interior or the exterior. It is significant to note that the Huper Optik 50% 8 ML Ceramic Films are neutral and never cast a blue light into your home. This can not be said for our competitor's nano-layered films.
6. Lumenesse Films are the only nano-ceramic clear window films that have passed the large missile test. These films maintain your view and your home's aesthetics while reducing your heat by 55%. remarkable clarity and exclusive installations by Advanced Film Solutions technicians.
7. Armorcoat Stainless 8 ML Safety and security films have met the 4.5 Lb missile test and are economically priced to win.
The clear choice in Florida!
