Frequently Asked Window Film Questions Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota

Leave a reply
 
 
Are window films installed on the inside or outside of the windows?


We typically install on the interior side of the glass. This increases the life expectancy of these films supported by our lifetime warranty.

Consumers are concerned about window film having a perceived tendency to break windows.
 

 

Advanced Film Solutions represents the finest window film technology manufactured by Eastman Chemical.

Our expert technicians and sales consultants have decades of experience and we absolutely know our way around a window.bbb

There are films that are specifically built for cars that absorb heat rather than reflect the heat away.  These films can create thermal stress.

Unfortunately some car tinting bozo’s will apply this incorrect film on a home or commercial application.

 
  1. Our films are warranted against glass breakage and we provide a written automatic glass breakage warranty. Optional glass breakage warranties are available that match your existing window warranty for extended periods beyond 5 years.

  2. Our Vista Films are designed for maximum efficiency on IG units. Our Huper Optik non reflective films are also warranted against glass breakage!

Advanced Film Solutions represents Eastman Chemical LLumar, Vista shatter control films. These meet GSA and DOD specifications.

How does our film compare to 3M Window Film?

The 3M dealer told us that their prestige film blocks 97% of the heat, works better at angles and keeps the home warm in the winter as well as keeping homes cooler in the summer.

Well. .

The key criteria for window film specifications and performance characteristics is the total solar energy rejected or shading coefficient.

These attributes are tested by objective independent laboratories and documented and certified by the NFRC.

Advanced Film Solutions installs NFRC rated films that can be confirmed by this agency for their capabilities.

All window films and glass seem to reject heat better when the heat object (SUN!) is at an angle to the glass.

The maximum sun angle is 90 degrees (this is the standard measurement for maximum accuracy) Any representation that an angular measurement improves the heat rejection capabilities of the film is simply ridiculous and disingenuous.

The strength of the security glazing films we represent meet the objective criteria as set forth by various independent rating and testing thresholds.

secureity

While your home or office may differ in the type of glass and frames being protected the Federal Government and code agencies have established a level plain for testing and performance.

Fortunately it can be stated that there is no 3M Window Film that has a better safety performance than the security films we represent.

Further there are several iterations of our security films that objectively out-perform the thinner 3M ultra films in puncture strength, tensile strength and test results.

Importantly we install dozens of security films that have solar properties in combination with the security features that 3M can not match.

This becomes a critical advantage when the consumer requires privacy our sustainable energy savings.

The Eastman brands for example are available in silver versions, dual reflective versions and ceramic versions all exceeding the limited 3M portfolio.

Advanced Film Solutions furthermore offers attachment systems ln particular the industry standard Dow Corning 995 which has been tested by the Dept of Defense, UL laboratories, ASTM and Factory Mutual Windblown debris.

City Hall Altamonte Springs where Advanced Film Solutions delivered superior Vista Dual Reflective Films changing the weaker 3M S25 5 ML film to the stronger, safer 8 ML V28 PS8

Consumers can be frequently confused when 3M states that their thinner tear resistant films meet performance levels that competitive thicker films achieve.

This is quantifiable as an inaccurate assessment.

Advanced Film Solutions installs coatings 8 ML thick and greater. This is the performance platform that is required to meet GSA Blast Criteria and ASTM testing criteria.

From a safety profile the Advanced Film Solutions is unequivocally the superior choice and value.
