Tenant, Visitor Comfort For Florida’s Coolest Offices. Think Today’s Window Film

Window film retrofit applications have been demonstrated to provide immediate cost savings benefits for commercial property managers throughout Florida.

The retrofit application of Advanced Film Solutions Eastman Solar Film provides a quantifiable cost reduction in Hvac operating costs as well as productivity gains in employee performance.

Today’s durable coatings filter 99.9% of the UV rays from entering office windows.

This reduces fading of interior accessories and wood floors and paintings.

There are also health benefits considering skin cancer issues that will also be beneficial.

  • Uncontrolled daylight coming in through windows can cause glare, employee and visitor discomfort, warm temperatures, hot/cold spots, and HVAC systems to run excessively to try to keep up.
  • A building’s directional orientation can create areas that receive significantly more sunlight than others. Depending on the sophistication of a facility’s HVAC system, this can create challenges for maintaining comfort.

  • A major component of any building envelope is its fenestration (windows, doors, skylights, and curtainwalls). A 10% to 40 % reduction in lighting and HVAC costs can be achieved by improving the energy efficiency of fenestration of commercial buildings, according to the National Institute of Building Sciences.

  • According to the U.S. Department of Energy, windows account for 10% to 25% of heating bills, and are the greatest source of heat loss or gain in any building. That’s where our Low E  Films win the day!
  • According to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, space heating, cooling, and ventilation account for the largest amount of end-use energy consumption in buildings.
  • Using window film to control the sun’s heat allows staff to leave blinds and curtains open and enjoy outdoor views and exposures with controlled daylight. This can improve health and well being for patients, reduce exposure to harmful UV rays, and increase productivity for staff members.

  • Window film has been proven to offer significant savings on both heating and cooling costs with metered measurement and verification of cooling and heating savings.  Studies have shown that window film can provide a significant increase in useful daylight (and in staff satisfaction and comfort levels).

  • Window film is a retrofit solution for facilities professionals who want to control solar heat gain and glare, provide UV protection, and experience year-round insulating benefits.

  • No special maintenance is required for window film.
  • Window film was named the most cost-effective energy-saving choice  when used in retrofit commercial building projects.

  • Advancements in window film have led to film options that aren’t overly dark and don’t produce an iridescent shine.

  • A study of the top five energy retrofits based on ROI identified window film as one option that offers a quick return on investment.

Glare is virtually eliminated as are hot spots and the cluttered appearance your windows may present from the street view.

Energy costs savings through the summer months as well as Low E films throughout the winter months save energy costs and provide a faster ROI

Tampa Goes Crazy For Window Tinting

We know how crazy it is “out there.”

amazed

A client came in the other day asking me if we had a tint that would give her complete privacy in her car. 

She whispered that unknown people were following her wherever she went. 

Carefully looking over her shoulder to ensure no one was listening, she explained that she dresses down in public (clearly she attained her goal!) simply to hide from the unknown stalkers.

Now after  years of dealing directly with Joe Public rather than corporate types; I have to agree with many of my associates in this business that some customers are nuts!

The following did not happen to me but rather to another window film company; but it’s a wonderful story.

My friend did an estimate at a clients’ home meeting with an older gentleman. 

 

should

The client was completely impressed  and signed up for an installation on the spot.
 


Later that week his installation crew showed up at the home and proceeded to tint all the windows in the home. 

The homeowner watched intently pointing out any areas of concern throughout the process.

At about the moment the crew finished the homeowners wife came home.

She went directly to the installers and asked them who they were and what the *&^% they were doing in her home?


They explained that they had just completed the job.

“What!!” she shouted.


“We don’t need window film. 

Why would you come to my house to do this??” she screamed.

They looked around and pointed to her husband who was now quietly sitting on the couch looking out the rear windows facing the backyard.

“Go ask your husband” the lead installer responded, he’s the person that signed the order.

He let us in and he watched us the last four plus hours. Plus he signed the work order”. . . furiously pointing at the bottom of the paperwork.


The wife explained that her husband was demented. 

 

Certifiably insane.

 

“He must have been off his Meds!”
 
 
 

He’s mentally incompetent so he could not make a decision.”

She chased the installers out of the house while her husband continued to sit silently rocking back and forth just  staring out the window.

The phone calls, the legal action, the court dates,  the aggravation.
 

Literally crazy for window tinting.

 
You have to love this business.
