Out Of The Fish Bowl: Tampa Bay, Lutz, Land O’ Lakes LLumar Car & SUV Tinting

Leave a reply

Driving around Tampa and Pasco County it still surprises me that there are so many drivers suffering without window film. 

I counted the mix at several stop lights the last week and my “unofficial estimate” is that 60% of the vehicles have no window tint or factory tint on their cars!

Now we are talking about Tampa Bay, so why would someone want to drive in a fish bowl??

 
Here are my (again completely unofficial gut feeling top reasons drivers do not get window tinting in Tampa.)
 


1.  Drivers think tinting is illegal?

Response:  The Tint Law is very clear and Florida law allows you to drive with window film as long as they are within the legal limits.

 

2.  People think all tint turns purple, yellows or bubbles.

Response:  We only install window film that is warranted against failure or color change.

Our FormulaOne Films never turn purple, yellow or bubble.!

3.  Drivers fear that their visibility will be cut, ergo creating a hazardous driving situation particularly at night.

Response:  Our Stratos and Pinnacle Films reduce the reflectivity of glass so your nighttime view is actually better with these ceramic films than the clear glass!

Films no longer have to be shiny or dark to factor out the glare and heat.  Technology has vastly improved since the early days of window tinting.

4.  OK- – so the driver believes the above, but is afraid to get their car tinted at some tint shop that looks like a head shop or tattoo parlor.  They don’t want to enter the shop because the place looks like a dump!

Upscale, safe and clean environment.


5. Drivers are afraid of the cost or more accurately are afraid of getting ripped off!

Response:  Our pricing is very competitive!

We want happy customers who tell their friends and neighbors how well they were treated and how great their installation is.

We use a plotter so our film gets right to the edge and our staff is experienced and extremely well versed in all car glass configurations.

Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota Window Tinting Was Not Created Equally; Why It Matters?

Leave a reply

We hear what competitors are saying to our clients.  

There is a fascinating mixture of fiction sprinkled with fact.

A combination of hyperbole and total nonsense all offered up with a facade of seriousness.

Let’s try to separate fact from fiction.
 
 
All films are the same, so you should choose the lowest price?


Obviously this is an untrue statement and typically offered up by a hack window tint person who is buying the cheapest tint available.

It’s in their interest for you to suspend disbelief and accept that false premise.

Does that cheap steak at some hamburger grill taste the same as Ruth Chris?

 If your answer is yes than go ahead and buy some no name tint for your home or car!

Advanced Film Solutions recommends the very best quality window films.

3M Prestige, Eastman Chemical’s VISTA and  Huper Optik are NFRC certified and are supported by documented performance characteristics.

Gated communities limit or restrict the use of reflective metallic window films.

For these homes we propose our 3M Prestige Multilayered optical film or Huper Optik Ceramic Non-Metallic Window Film.

How do you want your windows to look from the inside and the outside?

Obviously there are aesthetic differences between the lower quality films and the top of line 3M, VISTA or Huper Optik.

OK we understand that, but are your films that much better? Now can you match their pricing??

We carry the spectacular 3M Prestige and 3M Ultra solar security window film as well as Eastma’s Vista and LLumar films and we will sharpen our pencils on a case by case basis.

 If you are looking for a highly efficient film and have no problems with reflectivity from an interior view, than the LLumar is a terrific solution. 

VISTA is manufactured by the same company  and was designed specifically with lower interior reflectivity.

VISTA Films are dual pane (IG) safe.  The lifetime warranty is transferable and quite frankly the VISTA Dealer has to meet a much higher level of dealer requirements than a LLumar dealer.

VISTA and LLumar are superior window films as are the ceramic Huper Optik  window film.

That’s value difference and why Advanced Film Solutions has earned our customer’s trust!

Tampa Polycarbonate Lexan Plastic Sunroom Window Tinting

Leave a reply

Homeowners have Florida rooms made with Lexan windows rather than glass.

These sun rooms get hotter than &^%$

These long suffering clients can tell you horror stories about how hot these additions get in the summer.

Advanced Film Solutions solves overheated sunrooms with Madico Blisterfree or Avery-Dennison’s Polyzone. These coatings are designed specifically for polycarbonate and are available in either a silver reflective film or a clear layer merged with the window film you choose!

polyzone

 

The problem with Lexan (polycarbonate or acrylic) is that they are made with a petroleum product similar to plastic. 

If you attempt to install a typical polyester film with CDF or PSA adhesives you will very quickly experience a hazy bubbly appearance to the film.

There is a solution and who better than Advanced Film Solutions to offer it here in the southern climates.

Terrific results and a smooth installation.
 
 

No need to suffer any longer.
