2024, Tampa Bay’s Most Experienced Window Tinting Solutions

Leave a reply

Hot and humid weather is the rule here in the Tampa Bay-Orlando-Bradenton Sarasota region.

 

Most homeowners rely on their air conditioning for at least 9-10 months a year. 

Home and business cooling costs have increased during the last decade and there is little to suggest that this will change any time soon.

Most homes have single pane glass.

Unfortunately these window systems allow UV, light and heat (of course!) to enter the living space.

This means: hot spots, glare and faded furnishings.

 

Homeowners consider blinds or shades as their first line of defense against the heat. While terrific for privacy they simply don’t stop the solar heat gain or UV.

Replacing windows with insulated glass is an expensive proposition.

Payback for window replacement takes more than 15 years and the heat reduction isn’t nearly as profound as a window film solution.

Advanced Film Solutions installs the innovative solar control window films  manufactured by the world leading Eastman Performance Films.
These ingenious solutions factor out 99.9% of the UV and depending upon the light transmission you select, our coatings can block 80-85% of the solar heat.

Since we improve the performance of your existing windows the cost for this energy transformation is much less than a window replacement. Typically 1/10 that cost!hu

Designed for durability and incredibly optical clarity these films are backed by a lifetime warranty!


Ingenuity defines our window film portfolio and our expert installers have been awarded Angie’s List Super Service Award for 9 years.

Start 2024 with the perfect solution.
