We try to keep a close eye on GPS Systems since our unique FormulaOne Pinnacle Films will never interfere with the signals that your system requires for satellite positioning.
Advanced Film Solutions reminds Tampa area drivers that metallic and dyed metallic HP type window tinting will interfere by a factor of 1000 X more than our ceramic films.
Local pharmacies have had a string of break-ins during the last few months.
We all know the attraction and the level of desperation there is due to addiction from pain pills.
These criminals know exactly what they are looking for and usually hit during the night hours. Their goal is to be in and out of the drug store in minutes.
The solution?
Safety and Security Film. The interior now has a clear 8 ML film and anchoring system while the exterior has a graffiti guard film to protect their glass from scratches and acid etching.
The window film world has always had a Ying-Yang between value addedwindow film solutions and the "down and dirty" out the door silver and dark neutral winda' tinting .
Window film manufacturers and distributors have historically believed that the more dealers, outlets and agents they added- -the better!
Supply-Demand
More Dealers=Lower Prices
Lower Prices+More Film Sold at Lower margins
Sort of Adam Smith meets the Tin Man!
The downside?
Tinters who would put a dyed car tint on a building or home knowing it will turn purple-but why would they care?
Tinters who don't carry insurance or have a business certificate.
Or we simply match garbage against garbage and you'll still be far better off dealing with a legitimate window film installation company! (This will be hard to do but I think we can hold our noses just long enough!)
I'll benefit with the enjoyment of knowing I am helping to put these clowns out of business (if you can really call what they do being in business!)

Sure you might believe that all car tints are the same.
They aren't (shocked aren't you?)
There are crappy car tints you can get at a Flea market or some bozo who tints on the side.
There seem to be hundreds of LLumar and Solar Gard Tint Shops everywhere thanks to the well planned strategies of manufacturers and distributors. . .BUT
To be frank the fault for this negative impression is based upon the early years of window film when most films were constructed with dyed polyester. These films had a very short life-expectancy and homeowners and businesses that invested in the early window film products soon discovered their obvious limitations.
Many of today's Do It Yourself (DIY) window films continue to be manufactured with short-lived dyed polyester. You see it on the highways every day. Purple everywhere!
VISTA Films simply can not turn purple because there are no dyes in the composition of these films.
Commercial offices like the Pulmonary Center we filmed benefit from the 85% reduction in glare that had blinded their patients and employees until we installed V14 Ultima.
Oh there might be nay sayers who think that a diamond ring or a pearl necklace may be a more romantic gift than FormulaOne Car Film; but fellas; these negative nabobs would be totally wrong!
She'd rather get that car tinted and YOU KNEW IT!
Imagine that happy face when she discovered that you went for the best window film in the world- -FormulaOne!
She gets:
Privacy from curious types who wonder at her beauty!
UV protection so her soft skin stays that way!
Glare protection so she doesn't scrunch up that gorgeous face!
A gift that will last a lifetime; or at least as long as the car or SUV lasts!
The knowledge that her main squeeze (YOU!!) thought long and hard to find this perfect romantic elegant gift!
It brings tears to my ears for sure; that you cared - - - and dare I say???
Love her that much!! Anyone have a tissue??
Maybe you go that extra mile and get your Mother-In-Law her own FormulaOne Gift Coupon!!??
Here is the IWFA Website describing film benefits in general.
By preventing heat from entering your home or business your living space temperature stays at a stable and your cooling bills are dramatically reduced.
Many consumers are no doubt familiar with window tinting as a "do it yourself" project where the handiest among us set out to block heat or glare by buying GILA Film from their local Home Depot or Lowes. These films are highly reflective and dark.
Getting the creases and bubbles to evaporate while keeping your sanity- -well that's an entirely different issue!
There have been dramatic improvements in technology that allows more light into your home or business with less heat than you would expect.
They do so by factoring out a higher percentage of the invisible IR wavelength. Nano-ceramic films like Huper Optik, VISTA Terre, and Geoshield Lumenesse are well known examples.
Unfortunately consumers need to be vigilant because their is confusion about how IR rejection works.
The reality is that their film blocks IR that % in an extremely narrow bandwidth (read the small print on their own brochure!)
IR Lamps that give the illusion of solar heat are in reality filtering IR heat at this same misleading extremely narrow wavelength.
The BTU meters that are being used for this demo; meter this narrow wavelength giving consumers the FALSE impression that the film is blocking nearly all the Sun's heat!
You won't find bogus measurements claiming films working better at angles, or false statements implying plastic films that allow 70% of the light into a room can somehow block more solar heat gain than a mirrored metallic film that blocks 90% of the light!
Many of our clients have joined our sales associate program by referring their neighbors to our Vista, Lumenesse or Huper Optik.

CP Films has issued this update to combat misleading and inaccurate claims that are being made by our prestige competition and some copy cat newcomers.
Guys need to get themselves checked as well. As a heart attack survivor I know there are preventative check-ups I might have taken that could have helped to prevent my "really bad" day back in September 2008. Don't make the same mistakes!
Florida is famous for our white sand beaches and crystal clear blue waters of the Gulf Of Mexico.

Homes and condo's from Marco Island/ Naples through Ft. Myers, Venice, Sarasota and Bradenton, Advanced Film Solutions is a prestige homeowners only choice for high performance non-metallic Ceramic Window Films.
Unspoiled views call for a special type of designer window film.
Why?
First Advanced Film Solutions offers the widest and deepest selection of 21St Century Technology that cuts your glare/ heat and energy bill without sacrificing your views.
2009 was a gloomy year for the economy but one positive outcome was the increased awareness of energy efficient solutions that reduce the heat load on your home or business.
The Federal Government (Energy Star) has extended these incentives throughout 2010 that encourage energy retrofits and improved weatherization.
Windows add beauty to your home and your view may be the reason you purchased your home in the first place. The light and ambiance also brought glare, heat and faded furnishings.
We offer more variations in film technology than any other film installation company. The Vista Films meet your Deed Restrictions and qualify for our Climate Zones:
The purple glass you see just about everywhere is actually dyed polyester film gone bad, seriously bad.
The purple tells you that the film was flea market cheap.
That installer knew when they stuck it on the glass- -
That they were sticking it to that client.
We turn that purple to green. (Not just the money clients pay us to remove that crap!) When the tint turns purple the heat rejection is practically nil.
The UV inhibitors are toast. .
We remove the garbage tint and your property value improves.
Our NFRC certified films offer documented energy savings and the metal or ceramic coatings are stable.
By the way- -we simply will never install a cheap dyed car tinting film on a house or a commercial property. If you have an unbelievable price quote for a "brand X" film think twice and call us!
We have been called to two retail stores in the last 24 hours to install our safety and security window film.
The first store is a major paint retailer that had their side window busted out during the night.
The thieves walked off with $$ in inventory.
The second store is a retail outlet for high end oriental rugs and carpets. Some enterprising person shot through the window to see if the glass would collapse. It did- -The Alarms sounded and the crooks made off with some inventory.
