Tampa Keeps Cool With 2026, Window Tinting, Advanced Film Solutions

The mature window tinting business that began over a half century ago has gone through many change since late 2008 when Eastman Performance Films became the first company with NFRC Certification.

The original window films back in the 1960’s and 1970’s had a limited life cycle because of the unstable dyes that were used in the manufacturing process.

This grew to become an industry still in search of credibility.

Even today you’ll see purple windows on homes, office buildings and retail stores.


Credibility is critically important and the game changer is the US Department Of Energy and their Energy Star program. 

For window films to become rated and approved the industry has had to develop standardized measurements independently lab tested and documented.

The NFRC provided the vehicle for this logical process and the leading window film companies driven by Eastman’s leadership have followed suit.

Consumers are looking for energy efficient solutions that can reduce their carbon footprint and save money on their electric bills. 

Now with NFRC rated films a consumer can narrow their choices to performance and aesthetics.

Certainly there are reflective films that provide privacy, UV rejection and superior heat rejection.

These films like 3M Prestige, VISTA and LLumar set the standard in low interior reflection and outstanding optical clarity.

 

Non-Reflective Ceramic Films like Huper Optik set the bar at the highest level for a non metal film that meets aesthetic requirements of any Home Owners Association and complies with Deed Restrictions.

We strongly endorse the NFRC and the independent credentials that will ultimately lead to Energy Star ratings

That’s why we always advise our clients to do their homework, check the ratings and get a free estimate from:

Fast ROI, Window Tinting For Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota Properties

Commercial property managers have long appreciated the value of aftermarket applications of window film. 

 

Energy costs continue to increase and a large percentage of operating costs are associated with heating and cooling your facility.

Historically window film has provided an admirable job of factoring out heat gain. This reduced energy consumption, balanced your facility by eliminating hot and cold spots while factoring nearly 100% of the UV from entering the building.

Life cycle costs compared most favorably since the new technology films are durable and warranted for 15 years.

The improved tenant and employee satisfaction and the streamlines appearance of the facility from the exterior view served to enhance property value.

The one weak area was the impact solar control films had on winter heating costs as well as the reduced daylighting that a facility would receive particularly if darker light transmissions were installed on the glass.

Limiting daylighting tends to increase interior lighting requirements and frankly the reduction in solar heat during the winter had a negative impact on energy usage.

Beat the Florida Heat: Why Your Commercial Property Needs a Free Estimate from Advanced Film Solutions

Beat the Florida Heat: Why Your Commercial Property Needs a Free Estimate from Advanced Film Solutions

Property managers and building owners in Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco County face a triple threat every summer: soaring cooling costs, uncomfortable tenants, and the constant battle against harsh sun damage. The solution isn’t replacing all your windows—it’s a high-impact, low-cost upgrade that pays for itself: Advanced  Film Solutions.

Advanced Film Solutions brings you the industry’s best, with premium solar control films from LLumar, Vista, and 3M. This isn’t just about tinting your windows; it’s about a sophisticated, energy-saving retrofit that delivers immediate relief and a rapid Return on Investment (ROI).

Here’s a look at the compelling reasons you need to pick up the phone and schedule your free, no-obligation estimate today.


1. The Power to Slash Your Cooling Costs (Fast ROI)

Florida’s relentless sun turns window glass into an oven, forcing your HVAC systems to run non-stop. This is the single biggest drain on your building’s operational budget.

  • Massive Heat Rejection: Premium solar film can reject a significant amount of solar heat gain—in some cases, up to 80%—dramatically reducing the temperature inside your building.

  • Lower Energy Bills: By reducing the solar load, your air conditioning units don’t have to work nearly as hard. Industry data shows that commercial properties can see cooling cost reductions of 15% to 30%, with the investment often paying for itself in as little as 2 to 4 years.

  • Extend HVAC Life: Reduced strain on your cooling system means less wear and tear, deferring costly maintenance and extending the lifespan of your expensive HVAC equipment.

2. Boost Tenant Comfort and Retention

Uncomfortable tenants are unhappy tenants, and unhappy tenants are more likely to move. Window film directly addresses their most common complaints:

  • Eliminate Hot Spots: Film balances the internal temperature, eliminating the annoying hot spots near windows that make desks or seating areas unusable.

  • Reduce Glare: Say goodbye to squinting, eyestrain, and the need to constantly pull down blinds. Window film cuts distracting glare on computer screens, creating a more productive and comfortable environment for office workers, retail staff, and residents.

  • Maintain Natural Light: Unlike heavy curtains, advanced films are designed to reject heat and glare while still allowing ample natural light to stream in, keeping your spaces bright and appealing.

3. Protect Your Valuable Interior Assets

The sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays are silent wrecking balls for your interior finishes.

  • 99% UV Blockage: LLumar, Vista, and 3M films block up to 99.9% of the sun’s damaging UV rays. This is critical for protecting the assets you’ve already invested in.

  • Preserve Interiors: Stop fading on carpeting, upholstery, artwork, wood flooring, and expensive retail merchandise. This significantly extends the life of your interior furnishings, saving you money on premature replacements.
