Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota Thicker Safer Security Window Film

Leave a reply

When it comes down to safety and security the thicker the window film the better.

That’s why Advanced Film Solutions recommends the 8 ML thick clear and solar safety security window films manufactured by global window film leaders Eastman Chemical, Armorcoat, Madico, Hanita, Johnson and Suntek.

The 8 ML thickness has become the industry standard because these films meet a superior level of security when tested to GSA, DoD and ASTM standards.

Thinner films like 4, 5 and most 6 ML films do not meet this security level. This includes any 3M 5 ML film. Be certain to confirm that a competitors film is not thinner than 8 ML.

Solar security films are designed to withstand impact and provide energy solar savings by filtering out heat gain while simultaneously doing their security function.

Window film can be attached to metal frames like storefront windows or sliders by using a wet sealant Dow 995 system.

These attachment systems have provided that additional measure of protection to keep glass lites in the frame.

Advanced Film Solutions team of installers is fully equipped and trained in all aspects of security glazing installations.

Our residential warranty is lifetime and most commercial warranties are 10, 12 or 15 years.

Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota Comparison Shopping Window Tinting

Leave a reply

The competitive landscape is constantly changing and today’s consumer has to be better educated in making the right choice for their window film installation.

wer

We have seen a number of home installation quotations asking us to offer comparisons against the 3M Prestige Window Films or Night Vision film throughout Florida.

As an expert in window film installations and the numerous choices available to consumers Advanced Film Solutions is perfectly positioned to offer window film solutions that out-perform the 3M-film  and importantly deliver a better return on your investment.

 
Clearly the bar is raised high.
 
 
 
 
 

 

Consumers may simply sign up for a 3M installation no matter the cost based upon their “familiarity” with the 3M Brand.

994946_660887517278056_422811541_n

We grant that you should be more familiar with these name brands but if consumers have learned anything in the last decade it’s the fact that there are a vast array of choices available to you that will exceed the well known brand’s performance and price points.

Advanced Film Solutions has developed the most complete portfolio of the leading window films in the industry.

 

Consumers may not realize this fact but brands like VISTA Films, LLumar, Solar Gard, Armorcoat, Avery-Dennison, Huper Optik, Madico, SunTek and Johnson Films comprise more than 90% of the residential and commercial window film sales in the USA.

There is a reason for this and the key factor is performance of the window film solution coupled with the price points.
 

You might be skeptical about these facts but we wouldn’t expect you to rely simply upon our recommendation no matter how experienced we might be in window films or the fact that I spent 33 years with 3M and was the former National Sales Manager of 3M Window Film (but that doesn’t hurt my position- -does it?)

We only ask that consumers take the opportunity to compare our selections to the quotes you may have received from 3M representatives either after their walk through in your home.

Compare the interior and exterior reflectivity of the films and the rebate requirements that may qualify you for immediate rebates.

 
Compare our superior optical clarity ON THE GLASS!

  • Compare our transferable lifetime warranty to their original owner policy.
  • Compare our choices in light transmissions, reflectivity, hue and strength.
  • Compare the NFRC documented credentials of our films.

Finally; compare our cost versus benefit.

That all important bottom line!

Window Film Winning Combinations For Tampa, Orlando Area Homes

The world of window tinting is not for the faint of heart.
 
 

 

It’s a struggle between guys with squeegees in their hand and real businesses.

It’s a constant battle between the insured and the unsure; the guys who work out of their cars and true businesses.

14540661330_5fa9b617a0_m

I’ll add our battles with 3M and their Home Depot program where the challenge is to educate consumers before they make a poor decision based on smoke and mirrors and phony French fry lamp trickery.

Here are our rules for engagement:
 
 

  • Always treat our clients like valued customers. That means offering facts-NFRC rated choices and direct factual comparisons.

  • Offer more information so that our clients can be confident in making an informed choice.

  • Never pressure clients to make a fast decision.
  • It’s about trust.

  • We win because we prove better value and performance and clearly better clarity. 

  • We stay informed about this business and this industry we earn our living in. That means we attend the national meetings to get first hand knowledge. 

  • Ultimately there’s no trickery or gimmicks that can take the place of an extremely satisfied client.

  • We have earned the Super Service Award from Angie’s List for 10 straight years and an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. 

    Consumers know their best choice is Advanced Film Solutions

That’s our winning combination.

Tampa Bay Window Film When Only The Best Will Do

Leave a reply

Discriminating home owners understand that there are quantifiable performance differences between various window film solutions and providers.

Advanced Film Solutions competes directly against window film installers who frequently don’t measure up to the high standards smart homeowners demand:

Here is a brief check list for your review:

  1. Experience: How long has the window film company been in business and does this company have a physical location?
  2. Does the window film company carry the appropriate insurance credentials.
  3. Does the company have an A Plus Better Business Bureau rating?
  4. Does the window film company have direct employees rather than subs?
  5. Does the company have third party recommendations like Angie’s List Super Service Award (we have earned this accomplishment for nine consecutive years!)

Concerning the window film selections:

  1. Does the film coating have a lifetime warranty or transferable warranty?
  2. Does the company warranty against glass breakage and seal failure?
  3. Does the film manufacturer acknowledge the status of the window film dealer? Are they in good standing and authorized.
  4. Does the film qualify for rebates?
  5. Does the film meet deed restrictions or HOA rules?
