Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota’s Secure Window Film Expert Installations

Leave a reply

Making the decision to lower monthly electric costs by 30% and eliminating dangerous UV with today’s innovative window film just makes sense.

Determining which solar or solar security film to install and which company is best qualified to do the job is the critical challenge.

It helps to have experts guide you through the process and Advanced Film Solutions is best suited to accomplish this task.

After all our founder is the former National Sales Manager of 3M Window Film and was a columnist for Window Film Magazine (Dr. Of Tintology).

He was also an expert speaker at the IWFE in Reno.

Our team at Advanced Film Solutions has earned the Super Service Award from Angie’s List for 14  years and an A Plus rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Advanced Film Solutions does not promote one solution but rather offers our clients the “best of breed” coatings that deliver consumers the best value and technology.

This is the critical comparisons we have undertaken that supports the solutions we propose.

Safety & Security:

Strength and life safety are based on specific independent test results. 3M Ultra, 3M Prestige Ultra, Madico, LLumar, Vista, Armorcoat, SunTek and Hanita meet force protection as well as GSA blast criteria.  

From a security perimeter protection perspective all of these films will do the job. The question; rather your choice, is the appearance of the film.

Silver, Neutral, dual reflective or clear versions are available in dozens of light transmissions.

Several versions have UL approval and FM Global insurance benefits.

Several versions qualified for TECO rebates as well and Federal Tax incentives.

Solar films from 3M Prestige. Eastman Chemical like Vista, and Huper Optik for deed restricted communities.

Madico and their elite Sunscape portfolio.

Avery-Dennison Hanita solar security film made in Israel.

Our team will never do dog and pony gimmicks to get your trust. We deal in NFRC facts and documented results.

We won’t show you French Fry Heat Lamps with rigged BTU meters or pretend our tear resistant film out protects thicker tested safer versions.

Security Window Film, Florida Advanced Film Solutions Installations

Leave a reply

Advanced Film Solutions is Tampa, Orlando and Sarasota’s premier installer of clear and tinted safety and security window film.

These clear (and solar) films provide impact resistance and tensile strength and protect store and home interior from break-in and anti-spalling of flying glass.

Typical installations on retail storefronts employ the optional fastening systems that create a window system. This further enhances the security protection since the glass will not easily separate from the steel or aluminum storefront frames.

The film acts a little like the PVB interlayer in laminated glass and holds the glass together when it’s broken.

Another security use, which you may have seen at your workplace, is to mitigate the effects of a bomb blast, by preventing shards of glass flying around the inside of a building and causing injury or falling onto the pavements below.

Window film offers a practical and affordable way to reduce your monthly bill by improving the energy efficiency of your existing windows and sliders.

Advanced Film Solutions takes the guess-work out of window film performance expectations. We won’t use gimmicks like French fry lamps to pretend films block more heat than they actually do.

NFRC Website

NFRC has developed and operates a uniform national rating system for the energy performance of fenestration products, including windows, doors, skylights, and similar products.

The linchpin of the Rating System is a procedure for determining the thermal transmittance (“U-factor”) of a product. The U-factor rating procedure is supplemented by procedures for rating products for solar heat gain coefficient (“solar heat gain” or “SHGC”), visible transmittance (“VT”), air leakage (“AL”), and condensation resistance (“CR”). Together, these rating procedures, as set forth in documents published by NFRC, are known as the NFRC Rating System.

Our films factually filter out nearly 85% of the glare and our films can block nearly 84% of the heat depending upon the film you select!

This dramatically reduces the heat loss through the glass. In the summer the film provides 76% heat rejection! 

This can lower your annual electric costs and provide a fast return on investment!

When it comes down to window film, we know what we are talking about!

Your home is your largest investment.

Make your home comfortable and improve your resale value with window film!

Window Film Tampa’s Smart Choice For Reducing Electric Bills

Leave a reply

Advanced Film Solutions is Tampa, Orlando and Sarasota’s number one window film installation company. 

Window Film Makes Sense!
 


Advances in nanotechnology and thin film technology have taken this out of the Do It Yourself, bubbly purple tint arena and into upscale homes and commercial buildings.

 

In the residential and commercial “Flat Glass” market the industry leader is Eastman Chemical (Huper Optik, VISTA LLumar SelectPro and SunTek)

The rising energy costs has driven consumer interest in energy savings window film.

 

We offer the amazing 3M Prestige and Prestige Ultra combination solar security window film.  This film stops IR heat and meets all deed restrictions for gated community or condominium homes.

The key reason is the quantified direct impact solar control window film has on lowering energy costs and improving comfort.

 

Local utilities throughout the USA encourage your investment in window film by offering rebates for their installation. 

Today’s nano-ceramic films like Huper Optik dramatically block heat without adding reflectivity to your glass.

 
 

You benefit with energy savings and you meet all deed restrictions while complying with the energy efficiency requirements that earn rebates.


Advanced Film Solutions is proud to offer these world leading window films!

Objectivity, superior installations, experience, trusted technologies.

CHOICES!
