In the Sunshine State, window film isn’t a luxury—it’s a survival tool. But with so many brands making big promises about heat rejection, how do you know what’s real and what’s just marketing fluff?
These NFRC rated coatings can lower the monthly electric costs by 30% a month!
At Advanced Film Solutions, we don’t ask you to take our word for it. We let the data do the talking. Every film we install—from 3M Prestige and Huper Optik to Eastman’s LLumar and Vista lines—is certified by the NFRC.
What is NFRC Certification?
The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is a non-profit organization that provides fair, accurate, and credible energy performance ratings. Think of it like the “Nutrition Facts” label on your food, but for your windows.
When a film is NFRC-certified, it has undergone rigorous independent testing to verify:
-
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): Exactly how much solar heat is blocked.
-
Visible Light Transmittance (VLT): Exactly how much light comes through.
-
U-Factor: How well the window insulates against heat transfer.
Window Film serves to balance the amount of light and heat reducing hot spots and allowing your AC system to be more productive.
The Danger of “Unverified” Film
In Florida’s intense climate, an uncertified film might look good on day one but fail to stop the heat, or worse, damage your dual-pane windows. Using non-certified products is a gamble with your comfort and your electric bill.
- No special maintenance is required for window film and you’ll receive a lifetime warranty.
- Window film is the most cost-effective energy-saving choice for home or building energy retrofit.
- Advancements in window film have led to lighter nano-ceramic options that aren’t overly dark. These coatings meet all deed restrictions and HOA rules
- Thicker security iterations provide a strong crime prevention glass hardening that will delay, deter and deny entry.
