Protective Window Film Stops Heat, Glare & UV For Tampa Area Homes

Homeowners and property managers realize that clear glass windows are inefficient in factoring out glare, heat and UV. 

Unprotected glass is the weakest link in your security planning.

It only takes a few seconds for burglars to break through; take your valuables and leave the scene before law enforcement responds.

There is a practical cost effective solution that will give you the best ROI of any alternative window strategy: Window Film!


Advanced Film Solutions provides transparent, durable and optically clear coatings that are installed on your existing windows. 

These coatings remove UV, factor out heat and glare and lower your electric costs by as much as 30% a month.

Manufactured by 3M Prestige and Prestige Ultra or Eastman Chemical; these coatings are designed to last and will provide these benefits for decades to come supported by a lifetime warranty.

Winter or summer these coatings maintain the interior temperatures that best suits your comfort level.

Single pane windows perform like double pane windows at a fraction of the cost of a window replacement.

Thicker solar and clear shatter resistant versions harden your glass and make it extremely difficult for burglars to break through your windows. 

These films delay, deter and deny access and in reflective versions can provide privacy from that curious neighbor or a serious potential threat.
