Huper Optik Window Tinting Designed For Prestige Orlando Homes

There’s nothing like the sweet smell of success.

Our Orlando sales team has been giving their Tampa counterparts a run for the money these last several months.

There has been a huge demand for effective and practical solutions that drive cooling costs down without altering the aesthetics of your home’s windows.

 

Huper Optik’s patented nano-ceramic technology provides the perfect answer for the hot Orlando summers while meeting all HOA rules and deed restrictions.

Our clients in the Kissimmee, Windermere, Oveido, Orlando area have been doing their homework comparing the features, advantages and benefits of Huper Optik compared to the 3M-Home Depot competition.

For home after home; the winner is Huper Optik!

  • Your investment is protected by a lifetime warranty and a glass breakage warranty.

 

  • Our installation is pristine and your cost is based upon the amount of glass in your home. We are very competitive.

Heat rejection can be obtained in a variety of aesthetically diverse choices.

Reflective films are economically priced and extremely durable and effective. They provide privacy during the daytime and this can be a plus if you have nosy neighbors or simply prefer that level of privacy.

 

Non reflective choices will better suit the deed restrictions you would expect in a gated community. How light or dark you prefer your light is determined by the level of light transmission selected.

On the surface this appears to be a simple process but the devil is in the details.

Our experience is unmatched.

We know there are cheap films that use inferior adhesives and lower grades of polyester. We know that given the Florida heat and bright days a coating has to be long lasting and the adhesive has to be clear and distortion free.

Our selections are best of breed in all categories.

Our films are certified by the NFRC and warranted for a lifetime of performance.

Our installers are some of the best techs in the entire world having made the finals in flat glass window film installs in the annual tint-off competition!

Consumer Window Tinting Comparison Advanced Film Solutions Vs. 3M

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.

PicMonkey Collage

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.

  • 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.
