Comparing Home Glass Window Tinting

One of our clients explained her decision making process to me. 

She explained that investing in window film was “like buying a vacuum cleaner”, she knows that she needs it; but “it gave her no pleasure in buying our film, unlike that feeling she got from buying a HD TV or a new couch.” 

Understood and “OUCH!”

Advanced Film Solutions is passionate about window film because we know how versatile these solutions are and how many issues are resolved when you have Vista or Huper Optik Films installed on your windows.

We know how much safer your home is from smash and garb and when you have our Armorcoat, Madico or LLumar 8 ML thick safety and security films installed on your windows.

It’s a “given” that our potential customers would be confused by the numerous choices available in the marketplace. 

The ultimate decision drills down to a matter of TRUST

Do you trust that the solution being proposed meets your stated requirements and that the provider can meet and exceed these requirements at a fair investment cost?

Here are suggested questions that you should ask our competition:

1. Do their films have the certification of the National Fenestration Ratings Council?

A simple yes, or no will suffice.

Our Vista Films are have earned this government certification that quantifies the true performance of our window film.  This is important since the data  in small print on their sample cards can be potentially misleading.

How?

Did they choose a sample to test from their best run of film?  What thickness of glass did they test?  Does their sample card have an adhesive and liner on their film sample?  That’s why the NFRC requires independent test results!

Advanced Film Solutions offers more choices of window films that meet this criteria than any other window film company in Florida.

Unequivocally!

 

2. Does their film comply with your Deed Restrictions?

If you live in a gated community your HOA may have a restriction on reflective films. There are only a handful of ceramic and nanotechnology films that match this standard.  Films like Huper Optik are virtually clear yet cut heat and UV leaving your windows looking untouched!

Our ceramic prestige films meet this criteria, can never corrode, turn purple or discolor. There are no dyes in our ceramic films and our hard coat that protects our film from scratches out performs all of our prestige competitors.

4. Are they using the “Who’s Afraid Of the Big Brand Wolf” routine on you?

Negative selling techniques like “they will go out of business”, “their film falls off the windows”, “they used to work for us”, “we invented the wheel in 10,000 BC”, “our film works better when it’s hotter” “we made up our own test because the industry measures the Sun’s angle the wrong way”, “our films reject 97% of the infrared”, “we install better; get closer to the edge of the glass” , “Windex makes them run!”, “their film rusts!” and a host of other nonsense simply made up on the spot.

This investment has certainly paid dividends as we completed seven homes from New Smyrna and Sanford to Dr. Phillips and Oveido in just the last few days.

Why is there so much opportunity in Central Florida?

It’s Hot.

Utility costs are high

Many new homes are built on treeless properties

Most new homes have inefficient single pane glass!

Let In Light, Keep Out The Heat, Tampa, Clearwater, Orlando, Bradenton Ceramic Window Film

Advanced Film Solutions is Florida’s leading window film installation company.

We have accomplished this by gearing our entire portfolio of prestige window film solutions to meet and exceed our client’s requirements.

CHOICES!
 

Communities like Windermere Cheval and Waterchase have strict limitations that prohibit the use of shiny reflective (metal) window films.


Homeowners still require energy savings and protection from smash and grab crime and flying debris.

Advanced Film Solutions offers a suite of films that will match our customer’s specific requirements.

 
Choices begin with Vista Film LLumar Select and our  NFRC certified Huper Optik.


These films meet all Deed Restrictions since they maintain the aesthetics of your glass actually reducing the reflectivity of your windows from an interior and exterior view.

 
How does Advanced Film Solutions match against their nano-layered optical film?

  • Our Huper Optik ceramic films have a neutral hue while their nano film has a decidedly BLUE Light that alters your interior color scheme.

  • Our adhesives are optically clear.  Their film has a haze issue that is easily observable. Yes, I know this may seem hard to believe, but we can demonstrate this for you before you make any buying decision! Take the side by side challenge! 993059_600872276612914_1704008341_nLet us install our film right alongside theirs. We guaranty that you will see the difference in clarity for yourself!

  • Our films work better at an angle, and so do theirs! There is no superiority in their angle claims.
  • Our scratch resistant coatings out-perform their nano films.  Our color is consistent and can not be scratched from the surface of the film. Try scratching their film. PLEASE!
  • Warranty- Vista and Huper Optik have a manufacturer’s issued lifetime warranty.

Selecting Best Value Window Tinting For Florida’s Prestige Homes

We love the question: “How does Vista or Huper Optik compare to 3M film?”

Typically get this question from a consumer who has been quoted a high cost from the home depot 3M install program.

Prices so inflated that we were wondering if platinum was being added into the deal? 

1457705_667075529992588_888455922_nCheck out that left top panel with 3M film.

The remaining panels have Huper 30 ceramic film.

This haze is a crucial difference between the Vista and Huper ceramic films and 3M’s nano line.

Seeing is believing. If you have any doubt at all; we’ll do a side by side comparison.

If you prefer an invisible coating that will maintain the aesthetic appearance of your glass; you should consider our Huper Optik ceramic film.

  • Vista Films were the first NFRC Certified window films. Huper Optik has also been certified.The reason this is important for consumers is the documented performance you will enjoy when the installation is completed. It separates fact from fantasy when you might hear spurious claims about 97% heat rejection or better heat rejection at angles.

  • This is a key issue for gated communities as well as deed restricted neighborhood where a shiny film is forbidden.

  • Our 8 ML Vista and Llumar Magnum Films  have greater puncture resistance thanks to the thicker multi-layered composition.  Their ultra film is thinner and less secure than our 8 ML or thicker coatings.

  • Their hard coat is no stronger than Vista’s. Any implication that their film withstands scratches better; or is Windex safer than ours is false.
  • The optical clarity of our VISTA films is unsurpassed.  We’ll take that match up film to film any day!
  • VISTA manufactures all of their window films and does not “private label” outside manufacturer’s film. PERIOD!  The list of films sold by 3M that are actually made by other lesser known companies is too long to list here.
  • Vista offers dual reflective films in a 5, 7,14, 15, 18, 25, 28, 38, 45, and 48 % visible light transmissions. 3M in a 15, 25, 35 only!
  • We offer a full line of bronze films.  3M has none.
  • VISTA & LLumar Magnum Security Films are available in a 20 neutral, 20 silver, 28, 38, 40, 50 and clear. 3M in a  25, 35, and clear 4ML and clear 6 ML and their 50 and 70 prestige.  The re-package another manufacturer’s 14 ML film and brag about how strong it is. Obviously that same film is available directly from the OEM at a fairer price.

That’s our top ten reasons consumers select our VISTA Films!

Tampa, Clearwater, St. Pete Loves Huper Optik Ceramic Window Tinting

mix

Florida has a love affair with Huper Optik!

Advanced Film Solutions offers our customers more choices in window film than any other company in Florida.

 So why do more luxury home owners select Huper Optik over any other choice?

 

It starts with innovation and quality in the technology and unmatched optical clarity.

 

A major motivation is the fact that Huper Optik films are non reflective so your home’s aesthetic appearance is not altered.

Huper Optik meets all deed restrictions!

 

Huper Optik Ceramic films are patented.

huperoptik

The other “ceramic films” are single layered and offer considerably less features as well as limitations on the width of their films.

There is only one Huper Optik!

 
  • NFRC Certified.
  • No Dyes
  • Unmatched clarity.

  • No blue shift (a major advantage over our 3M -home depot prestige competitor!)
  • No haze in the adhesives or distortion!
  • Huper Optik is available in a wide assortment of light transmissions.

  • Accurate and impressive IR rejection across the entire near and far infrared wavelengths.

 

We won’t mislead consumers with nonsense about 97% IR rejection and then have small print below that identifies that this is only for an extremely narrow bandwidth!

Unmatched warranty and the best glass breakage-seal failure warranty in the industry!

The proof is evidenced by the growing number of Tampa, Sarasota and Orlando clients who are selecting the Huper Optik solution.
