Noticed that Electric Bill??

Can’t believe your eyes?
 

Your electric bill skyrockets as soon as you turn on that air conditioner.

bills Window Film has come a very long way since sun control films were originally manufactured. 

Today’s window film does not turn purple or bubble when installed by a professional company like Advanced Film Solutions.

The old days of highly reflective tin foil  looking window tinting is ancient history!

With so many choices out there, how should a Tampa, Orlando, or Sarasota consumer make an educated choice?
Here are easy to remember suggestions:


Are their films Insulated Glass safe? 
 

Check with the competitor but our experience is that IG units require specially designed window films that will not create thermal stress on IG units.

3M Prestige 70 and 3M Prestige 70 Ultra are IG safe and 3M extends an automatic glass breakage warranty. These films are clear and less reflective than glass. Condos, gated communities and retail stores prefer the appearance of 3M Prestige!

The Vista series of films were designed specifically with that requirement in mind.

Our IG safe films come in darker transmissions that meet and exceed these rebate requirements.

Do they offer a non reflective solar control film that can meet your deed restrictions?

Our 3M Prestige, Vista and Huper Optik Nano-Ceramic films meet that criteria for gated communities, condo associations and all deed restrictions that place limitations on reflective films.

Does the installation company carry General Liability Insurance and have a place of business?

Many window tinters work from their home and do not carry the insurance requirements.

These folks are installing in your home and it is critical that you know the character of these folks.

We simply suggest that you check first.

 

Advanced Film Solutions is fully insured and we have no issues concerning our reputation or background checks.

Are the window films proposed certified by the NFRC?

Vista Films are certified by the NFRC, the body that issues ratings for window performance.

Why take chances?

Florida Heat Blocking Frequently Asked Window Film Questions

Leave a reply
 

 
Are window films installed on the inside or outside of the windows?


We typically install on the interior side of the glass. This increases the life expectancy of these films supported by our lifetime warranty. There are situations where an exterior installation is required. Our 3M Prestige exterior film and LLumar/Vista Films have an extensive range of performance and appearance.

Consumers are concerned about window film cracking their glass or causing seal failure in IG units.
 

Advanced Film Solutions represents the finest window film technology manufactured by 3M or Eastman Chemical.

Our expert technicians and sales consultants have decades of experience and we know our way around a window.bbb

There are films that absorb heat rather than reflect the heat away.  These films can create thermal stress.

Unfortunately untrained or unskilled tint shops will apply this incorrect film on a home or commercial application.

 
  1. Our 3M and Eastman films are warranted against glass breakage and we provide a written automatic glass breakage warranty. Optional glass breakage warranties are available that match your existing window warranty for extended periods beyond 5 years.

  2. Our 3M Prestige, Eastman LLumar or Vista Films are designed for maximum efficiency on IG units. Our Huper Optik non reflective films are also warranted against glass breakage!

Advanced Film Solutions represents 3M, Eastman Chemical LLumar, Vista shatter control films. These meet GSA and DOD specifications.

Advanced Film Solutions is the regions largest volume window film installation company. We cover the entire region from Orlando north to the Villages and south to Venice. Our expert installers have more experience than any competitor.

We are please to offer 3M Prestige multilayered optical film that meets all deed restrictions and is ideal for condos and gated communities. 

We also represent Eastman, Madico, Solar Gard and Avery-Dennison.

The key criteria for window film specifications and performance characteristics is the total solar energy rejected or shading coefficient.

These attributes are tested by objective independent laboratories and documented and certified by the NFRC.

Tampa gets hot and we have more sunny days than our friends in Hawaii.

We also get humid weather that equates to having our air conditioning on for more days than nearly any other geographic location (OK maybe Miami!)

We have our share of colder weather (last week we were down to 30 degrees!) and we are faced with hurricane threats during the months from June to October.

Our electric bills are high and typically our windows are inefficient, clear single pane glass are extremely poor insulators.

Advanced Film Solutions represents Eastman throughout the Greater Tampa Bay and Orlando area.
