Window Film Designed For Tampa Bay Deed Restricted Communities

Leave a reply

Gated communities frequently have HOA rules that limit or prohibit the use of reflective window film.

Their concern is the potential that highly reflective films will alter the appearance of homes and potentially reduce resale value.

Fortunately3M Prestige and  Eastman Chemical performance films has a complete suite of window film solutions that match your HOA rules and deed restrictions.

Consider our Huper Optik ceramic coatings that factor out visible light, UV and IR wavelengths associated with heat. Our lighter transmissions are virtually undetectable.

These coatings are less reflective than glass making it easier to see out day or night.

 

We are also pleased to offer the 3M Prestige window film available in shatter resistant ultra versions as well as the thinner solar control versions.

 
 
Advanced Film Solutions would happy to provide samples for your Architectural Committee.

We have installed our coatings in gated communities including Cheval, Landesbrook, Windermere, Celebration, Fish Hawk Estates, etc.

 

Our team has earned the Super Service Award from Angie’s List for 14 years.

Cheap Window Tinting: Tampa Bay Consumers Buyer Beware

Leave a reply

It’s interesting when you view the dynamics of the window tinting business from a consumer perspective.

 
1235000_642991412401000_590230546_n

There are Flea Market window tint shops (and moonlighters that work from a truck) who carry low quality, low cost tints that have a questionable pedigree (to say the least!)

How will they honor their warranty should anything go wrong? Will their no name product survive against the intense Florida heat?

Obviously, these cheap films are available to Advanced Film Solutions!

We prefer the NFRC rated 3M Prestige, Eastman Chemical’s VISTA and Huper Optik for homes and commercial clients and FormulaOne for our automotive clients! 

Hey. . have I got a deal for you!


 The low ball tinters typically show specification sheets that give the illusion that their films are equal to the NFRC Certified VISTA or Huper Optik Films.

The low cost films are made with lower quality polyesters and adhesives.  The scratch coating is inferior and the useful life of the product is very limited.

Always remember Caveat Emptor! (Buyer Beware!)

Tampa Goes Crazy For Window Tinting

Leave a reply

We know how crazy it is “out there.”

amazed

A client came in the other day asking me if we had a tint that would give her complete privacy in her car. 

She whispered that unknown people were following her wherever she went. 

Carefully looking over her shoulder to ensure no one was listening, she explained that she dresses down in public (clearly she attained her goal!) simply to hide from the unknown stalkers.

Now after  years of dealing directly with Joe Public rather than corporate types; I have to agree with many of my associates in this business that some customers are nuts!

The following did not happen to me but rather to another window film company; but it’s a wonderful story.

My friend did an estimate at a clients’ home meeting with an older gentleman. 

 

should

The client was completely impressed  and signed up for an installation on the spot.
 


Later that week his installation crew showed up at the home and proceeded to tint all the windows in the home. 

The homeowner watched intently pointing out any areas of concern throughout the process.

At about the moment the crew finished the homeowners wife came home.

She went directly to the installers and asked them who they were and what the *&^% they were doing in her home?


They explained that they had just completed the job.

“What!!” she shouted.


“We don’t need window film. 

Why would you come to my house to do this??” she screamed.

They looked around and pointed to her husband who was now quietly sitting on the couch looking out the rear windows facing the backyard.

“Go ask your husband” the lead installer responded, he’s the person that signed the order.

He let us in and he watched us the last four plus hours. Plus he signed the work order”. . . furiously pointing at the bottom of the paperwork.


The wife explained that her husband was demented. 

 

Certifiably insane.

 

“He must have been off his Meds!”
 
 
 

He’s mentally incompetent so he could not make a decision.”

She chased the installers out of the house while her husband continued to sit silently rocking back and forth just  staring out the window.

The phone calls, the legal action, the court dates,  the aggravation.
 

Literally crazy for window tinting.

 
You have to love this business.

Advanced Film Solutions is confident that we have the most effective and best value solutions for our clients.

 

Having earned the Super Service Award from Angie’s List for 14 years so it’s clear that our customers get the best installations with a lifetime warranty.

I liken it to wine selection.
 
 

Let’s say you are looking for a good wine you would go to the local shop and ask the owner which wine he would recommend?

If you looked at his shelves and noticed that they had only one type of wine it would hardly surprise you if he responded – -“pick that one from the shelf!”

 
We come at this from a customer prospective rather than a sole source point of view.
 

Having spent decades involved in window film we know which films have the best performance, features, advantages and benefits. 

We ask questions and consult, rather than simply proposing a “one size fits all” approach.


The “best” is quite often a very subjective adjective.  When we speak about the best film solution we cover the following aspects;

1. Based on your specific requirements which window film solution will best solve your problems?

2. Quite often there are several possible solutions; the determination will be based upon your aesthetic choice particularly if your neighborhood has deed restrictions.

3. Warranty is critical and of course our films are warranted for a lifetime

 

IG units manufacturers may void the warranty if window films are installed. VISTA will assume the warranty on your IG units.

5.   The state of the art manufacturing facilities at Eastman Chemical Performance Films and Huper Optik allow them to produce wider width films.

 

6. Our promise is to stay ahead of the technology curve in the window film business.  The ceramic and nanotechnology window films have increased the effectiveness of residential solutions without compromising the “look” of your home.

3M Prestige and 3M Ultra films keep the heat outside without changing the look of your windows and sliders. 

7. Our Low E Films provide energy savings in the winter and summer months.
