Consumer Window Tinting Comparison Advanced Film Solutions Vs. 3M

Leave a reply

Thanks to the power of the Internet, consumers have incredibly detailed resources to conduct their own research on nearly any product or solution.

It’s no different for investigating window film solutions for homeowners in Tampa Bay, Orlando or throughout the USA.

Let’s assume that you recognize that window film is the right solution for glare, heat, uncomfortable rooms, rising electric costs and fading.

There are scores of choices and companies who are all vying for your business.

You may be familiar with certain brands and that’s understandable.  After all you have heard of Scotch Tape and 3M Post-It Notes; so that 3M logo might be tempting.

As an independent window film solutions provider Advanced Film Solutions established a differentiation strategy that allows our clients to find the perfect film for their specific requirements.

Our background (33 years at 3M) and more recently the last 17 years as Florida’s fastest growing residential and commercial window film installation company is unmatched in Tampa Bay and the Orlando region.

  • Is there a difference in the optical clarity of one film versus another?
     
    There are differences in optical clarity between the various window film brands. Advanced Film Solutions recommends VISTA, LLumar and Huper Optik Films that offer pristine clarity and unmatched durability.

    compare

  • When in doubt; we recommend that you compare the actual window film being proposed in a side-by-side comparison. Advanced Film Solutions has never lost this “see for yourself” comparison.

  • How about reflectivity?
    Most manufacturers produce reflective, dual reflective and non reflective window films to meet a variety of consumer requirements.
  • Reflective metallic films are effective in keeping the heat from entering your home.Advanced Film Solutions recommends our Vista dual reflectives based on the heat rejection, durability and optical clarity that are mandatory for Interior Designers.

  • Non-Reflective Films:

    Ideal for HOA rules and deed restrictions the best alternative is Huper Optik.  They have outstanding durability, clarity and superior heat rejection.

    Huper Optik is available in a wide range of light transmissions and all are less reflective than glass.

  • We have seen 3M Prestige at Home Depot and they claim that this film works better at an angle (like when the Sun is at 3 PM or 9 AM) they also claimed that their film blocks more heat than silver reflective films or very dark films. Is this accurate?

    The short answer is an emphatic – NO!

  • All window films and glass itself appear to work better when the heat source is at an angle to the glass. This is not unique to 3M Prestige Film or frankly any window film.

  • But we saw a heat lamp demo and we could actually feel a dramatic reduction in heat with a clear Prestige Film? Seeing is believing!How could such a great demo be inaccurate or misleading?

  • The trick is fairly easy to explain. 

    The french fry lamp blasts IR heat in a narrow wavelength. The Prestige film blocks IR wavelengths in this bandwidth.

    The BTU meter is configured to measure IR heat in that specific wavelength.  In other words it’s a snake oil trick.Collage

Summary:

There are important differences between the various window film solutions available.

Advanced Film Solutions consultants can explain the differences and customize the perfect solution for your home.

We win supported by facts over perception and our clients reap the reward of a lifetime of comfort and energy cost savings.

Transforming unprotected glass at ground level windows and entry ways to security impact glazing has become a priority given the recent violence.

Window Film Research, Think Window Film USA

Leave a reply

We assume that you are conducting your own research on window film solutions for your home or business.
BeFunky_all.jpg

You have obtained an estimate from a local window film installation company.  There was something about that experience that prompted you to gather additional information!

You may have a preference toward a particular type of window film solution; or perhaps a specific brand of window film in mind?

You have arrived at the right place.


Window Film USA is my brainchild and this concept came to me in late 2008.

Blend

We are Advanced Film Solutions a Tampa based company that has expanded throughout the state of Florida.

We compete against me too window tint shops and a host of different competitors throughout the state. We win.

Whether it’s our unmatched experience or simply the fact that we know more about our films and theirs than any other company in the USA.

We had initially launched Advanced Film Solutions in 2007 with VISTA Films as our flagship brand and Huper Optik as our ceramic film leader.

In late 2008 we added the Madico Sunscape Select Series and the exciting Geoshield Lumenesse nano-ceramic films.

Our commercial projects were given additional impetus by the addition of the low cost SunTek Films.

We augmented our portfolio with Armorcoat and Solar Gard. Most recently we included the Israeli Hanita Films into our mix.

This portfolio we have built is not a coincidence.


I had been a 3M direct employee for 33 years and my window film experience was up until the day I exited 3M; entirely 3M focused.  Having been the National Sales Manager of 3M window films I had paid close attention to my competition.

I certainly knew which manufacturers actually made superior performing window films.

That’s a solid advantage since you most probably have never hear of VISTA or Huper Optik.

Our challenge is to demonstrate factually why our selections are superior to 3M’s limited line of film.

Why our optical clarity is superior?

IMG-20110729-00132

Why your return on investment will be superior?

 

We base our proposals on solid fact, NFRC ratings.

You won’t hear hokus pocus baloney about angles of incidence or gimmick BTU tests that give an illusion of performance. 

Illusions won’t keep your home cool.

Call them.
