Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota, Selecting Your Best Window Tinting Installation

Today’s consumer faces enormous challenges given the conflicting alternatives available in Florida’s window film marketplace.


Here’s some insider advice for you to consider for selecting the dealer and the brand that meets your requirements.

DIY:

Unless you are extremely handy or have window film installation experience; doing the installation yourself is problematic at best.

The films sold in big box houses like Home Depot and Lowes tend to be lesser quality than the professional grade films used by window film installation professionals.

After all your home is your largest investment.

Your windows are essential to maintain ambiance and home value. 
 

No one wants dyed purple films or bubbles that will block your view or devalue that investment.

Professional window film dealers should be insured and members of their local Better Business Bureau.

Having an A Plus Rating for 18 straight years is a plus!

Certainly a window film business should have a business license and be able to furnish the proper credentials to enter your home.

These stipulations are important when choosing your installation professional if only to differentiate the moonlighter from the pro. 

What is important is your lifetime warranty from the dealer as well as the written guarantee from the film manufacturer.

Brands:

We represent the leading window film brands in the industry.


These suppliers represent more that 90% of the residential and commercial window film sold in the USA. 

Most of these manufacturers have had their films independently tested by labs as part of the NFRC.


Warranty:

Most window film manufacturers offer a lifetime residential warranty. Several offer extended transferable warranty typically for their premium film lines.

Commercial warranties vary depending upon the film selected but generally this warranty is for 10-15 years.

The SMALL BUSINESS ADVANTAGE:
 

Speaking on behalf of window film dealers across the USA we are typically family owned businesses with deep roots in your local community.

We have a passion for excellence and we take pride in our business and body of work.

Personally I strongly believe in identifying the brand of film and the manufacturer.

The brand lets you know what you are investing in and the specific performance characteristics of that film. Comparing apples to apples like the NFRC ratings takes the mystery out of the buying process.

There are vast differences between these films.

Some are tremendous energy savers using highly reflective films using stable alloys.  Several films are far less reflective from an interior perspective so your night views are protected.

There are certainly consumers who prefer non-reflective films and this is when we would propose 3M Prestige, 3M Prestige Ultra or nano-ceramic films like VISTA and Huper Optik.

“Caveat Emptor- Buyer Beware!”


We founded our company on meeting and exceeding expectations and in earning word of mouth referrals.

ADVANCED FILM SOLUTIONS

 

Storefront Protective Glazing 3M, Eastman LLumar Window Film Solutions

As a retailer, your storefront is more than just a display – it’s the face of your business, your first line of defense, and a crucial element in attracting customers. Unfortunately, it can also be a vulnerable point. Smash-and-grab burglaries, vandalism, and even severe weather can leave you with broken windows, damaged merchandise, and significant downtime.

That’s where the power of protective glazing window film comes in.

At Advanced Film Solutions, we specialize in installing high-performance films like 3M Prestige Ultra and LLumar, engineered to provide a significant layer of security and peace of mind for your retail business right here in  Florida. One dynamic choice are our 3M Prestige and 3M Prestige Ultra solar security window film.

These coatings stop IR heat and  allow visibility into the store so potential clients know that you are open for business.

More Than Just a Tint: The Strength of Protective Film

These aren’t your average window tints. Protective films are much thicker and constructed with robust, multi-layered materials and strong adhesives. When professionally applied, they create a powerful barrier that makes your storefront windows significantly more resistant to impact. Think of it as an invisible shield working silently 24/7.

Deter, Deny, and Delay: A Multi-Layered Approach to Security

The benefits of this added strength are substantial:

  • Deterrence: The mere presence of these thicker films can act as a visual deterrent. Potential criminals often look for the easiest targets. Seeing a window that’s clearly reinforced can make them think twice and move on to a less challenging opportunity.
  • Denial: In the event of an attempted break-in, the film’s strength makes forced entry much more difficult and time-consuming. Instead of shattering easily, the glass will likely crack and hold together, denying immediate access to your store.
  • Delay: This delay is critical. Every extra second it takes for a criminal to breach your storefront increases the chances of them being seen, apprehended, or simply giving up out of frustration. This precious time can be the difference between a minor inconvenience and a significant loss.

Beyond Security: Additional Benefits for Retailers

While security is a primary advantage, protective window films offer a range of other benefits that directly impact your bottom line and the overall comfort of your retail space:

  • Enhanced Safety: In the event of accidental breakage or severe weather, the film helps to hold shattered glass fragments together, significantly reducing the risk of injury to staff and customers.
  • UV Protection: Many of these advanced films block up to 99% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. This helps to protect your valuable merchandise from fading and discoloration, preserving its quality and appeal.
  • Energy Efficiency: Certain protective films, like the 3M Prestige Ultra series, also offer excellent solar heat rejection. This can lead to lower energy bills by reducing the need for excessive air conditioning, creating a more comfortable shopping environment for your customers and staff.
  • Discreet Protection: These films are optically clear, meaning they won’t significantly alter the appearance of your storefront or obstruct valuable window displays. You get robust protection without sacrificing aesthetics.
