NFRC Rated Window Film Ideal For Tampa, Pinellas County, Pasco Homes

Leave a reply

Advanced Film Solutions is one of the busiest window film installation companies in the USA.

Small wonder given the tropical climate and number of sunny days we enjoy in the Bay area.

We differentiate our window film solutions from our competition by promoting window film that has been objectively tested and rated by the NFRC.

What is the NFRC and why is this important to an educated homeowner?

NFRC

NFRC Window Film Fact Sheet

NFRC is a non-profit organization that administers the only uniform, independent rating and labeling system for the energy performance of windows, doors, skylights, and attachment products.

Their goal is to provide fair, accurate, and reliable energy performance ratings so that:

• Architects, builders, code officials, contractors, homeowners,
and others can compare different products and make informed
product choices.

• Building officials, state government employees, and others involved
in code development and enforcement can determine if products
meet local codes.

• Government-and utility-run energy efficiency programs can establish
performance requirements and standards.

• Manufacturers have a fair and level playing field to compare products and an accurate method of showing the energy benefits of new designs or technology.

Advanced Film Solutions represents these NFRC rated films:

Vista Films
3M Prestige
LLumar
3M Fasara
Huper Optik
Solar Gard
Armorcoat Films (listed under Bekaert, but now a St. Gobain company)
Avery-Dennison Hanita
SunTek
Madico

Consumers can make educated choices and conduct apple to apple comparisons.

No gimmicks or hyperbole about IR rejection or working better at angles.

No car tint films that might look good on a price quote but aren’t stable, durable or effective for your home!

Florida Homeowners Choose Window Tinting Vs. Blinds Or Shutters

Leave a reply

NFRC Certification has reinforced the option of installing window film like 3M Prestige rather than replacing inefficient windows.

The energy conservation performance is confirmed but at a capital cost of 1/10th that of a complete replacement.

Blinds and decorative shutters block the light but do very little to factor out the heat. Blinds darken the room but your view is gone!

Orlando and Tampa homes and buildings have huge glass windows and sliders.

Many of these homes face a Preserve or a waterway. One of the primary reasons our clients purchased these homes is that view!Take the condos that line Gulf Blvd in Sand Key and Clearwater.

West facing units have spectacular views. I didn’t ask; but I assume the higher the floor the higher the purchase price.

Why?

That View!!

Advanced Film Solutions will preserve that view and eliminate a large % of the heat and almost 100% of the UV that can damage wood floors and draperies.

The views are crystal clear and all of our films are available in 72 inch widths for those larger aquarium glass windows! (How on earth would you cover them with blinds?)

Key advantages:

1. Views are unobstructed.

2. UV is eliminated.

3. Security of the home is enhanced.

4. Glare is reduced by a factor that the homeowner selects. Our films come in a host of light transmissions.

5. The heat is reduced saving energy costs and entitling you to energy incentives.

6. Privacy

7. Reducing carbon fuels

Advanced Film Solutions, Tampa’s FormulaOne high performance Automotive Window Film.

Why?

We won’t keep your car all day.

Our Precision Cut software and plotters take the guessing game out of window tinting.

You won’t find many local area shops who have invested in technology. We have!

This means we can get your car done in 2 hours or less!

You have better things to do all day rather than waiting for your car!

All window films are warranted by the manufacturer for a Lifetime. Our FormulaOne Films are unique since they offer a NO FAULT warranty. No other window tint shop but FormulaOne can make that statement and back it up!

New cars and SUV’s rely heavily on Bluetooth technology and metallic films can attenuate (interfere) with these EM signals as well as radio frequency (RF).

FormulaOne Pinnacle Films and Stratos are non attenuating , non conductive so we simply can’t interfere with cell phones or Sirius Radio!
GPS works perfectly with Pinnacle Films non-metallic non interfering!

We are family owned and operated. No “gasoline alley” treatment.
Sure, we carry LLumar ATR and if you are pricing around we won’t let a dime a dozen LLumar dealer beat us on these mid-range performance films.

If however you require superior heat rejection in your too hot car, than you might wish to consider Comfort and Pinnacle Films. better heat rejection, better warranty (transferable) and of course a no fault warranty!

Don’t even think about getting your car done at a Flea Market!!

Are you kidding me??

Tampa Bay Window Film Vs. Window Replacement Challenge

Window Film Vs. Window Replacement Myths!

Myths:

Window film is a temporary solution for improving the energy efficiency of windows. The film doesn’t stand up to Florida’s heat and brutal sun.

Window tinting peels or bubbles or turns purple.

Replacement windows (their sales guy says!) is the best thing you can do to replace your single pane windows. Low E and IG units are clearly expensive but well worth it in the long run.

Facts:

Today’s window film is manufactured for performance and durability.

Optically transparent coatings that are warranted for a lifetime and filter out 99.9% of harmful UV rays.

While damaged or deteriorating windows simply have to be replaced, window tinting provides an affordable alternative to replacement when your goal is to improve energy efficiency. In fact, the cost for quick, professional installation is about one-tenth the cost of replacement windows!

These films will last for decades and they won’t peel, bubble or change colors.

Window films have been tested and documented by the NFRC so you get exactly what you are paying for.

The ROI from our window film installation is the fastest of any home improvement aftermarket solution. Typically payback in two years or less.

Get Energy Efficient Windows without Replacement

Reducing your home’s energy consumption with energy efficient windows not only saves you money, it also helps the environment and can lower your carbon footprint. Replacement low-e windows have 128-267 times the carbon footprint of window film.

Plus, installing new windows leads to more landfill waste while energy saving window film installation has little to no waste.
