Out Of The Fish Bowl: Tampa Bay, Lutz, Land O’ Lakes LLumar Car & SUV Tinting

Leave a reply

Driving around Tampa and Pasco County it still surprises me that there are so many drivers suffering without window film. 

I counted the mix at several stop lights the last week and my “unofficial estimate” is that 60% of the vehicles have no window tint or factory tint on their cars!

Now we are talking about Tampa Bay, so why would someone want to drive in a fish bowl??

 
Here are my (again completely unofficial gut feeling top reasons drivers do not get window tinting in Tampa.)
 


1.  Drivers think tinting is illegal?

Response:  The Tint Law is very clear and Florida law allows you to drive with window film as long as they are within the legal limits.

 

2.  People think all tint turns purple, yellows or bubbles.

Response:  We only install window film that is warranted against failure or color change.

Our FormulaOne Films never turn purple, yellow or bubble.!

3.  Drivers fear that their visibility will be cut, ergo creating a hazardous driving situation particularly at night.

Response:  Our Stratos and Pinnacle Films reduce the reflectivity of glass so your nighttime view is actually better with these ceramic films than the clear glass!

Films no longer have to be shiny or dark to factor out the glare and heat.  Technology has vastly improved since the early days of window tinting.

4.  OK- – so the driver believes the above, but is afraid to get their car tinted at some tint shop that looks like a head shop or tattoo parlor.  They don’t want to enter the shop because the place looks like a dump!

Upscale, safe and clean environment.


5. Drivers are afraid of the cost or more accurately are afraid of getting ripped off!

Response:  Our pricing is very competitive!

We want happy customers who tell their friends and neighbors how well they were treated and how great their installation is.

We use a plotter so our film gets right to the edge and our staff is experienced and extremely well versed in all car glass configurations.

Advanced Film Solutions Window Tinting Reduces Electric Cost By 30%

Leave a reply

Solar window film has been a staple of energy cost savings techniques for decades.


Technology improvements in thin film and nanotechnology have generated consumer benefits that are important for Florida homeowners as well as commercial and retail property managers.

Energy conservation, comfort and balanced cooling for a home or facility are positive benefits with an installation of window film. 

These NFRC certified films are durable and unlike the early generations of window films they will never turn purple or distort your view.

Lighter films are designed to reduce the solar heat gain thus lowering your AC usage.

This is a major factor for energy cost reduction.

We have built the widest and deepest collection of window film solutions manufactured by the industry leaders.

Unequaled capabilities and the fastest return on your investment!

Window film doesn’t need to be dark or reflective to be effective. 

Ceramic technology has shown benefits in removing large percentages of IR invisible heat.  This also equates to daylighting benefits that improve employee comfort and satisfaction.

3M Prestige and 3M Prestige Ultra nanotechnology multilayered optical film factors out IR heat and is available in solar as well as solar security versions. This is ideal for high winds and protection from smash and grab crime.

The window film industry has provided quantified performance characteristics on the glass types most frequently found in our homes.

These films are tested in laboratories to determine the exact anticipated performance.
 

The NFRC has certified all of our Eastman and 3M Window Film  performance criteria.Advanced Film Solutions is unique by customizing our solutions portfolio to meet our clients requirements. 

We are not brand-centric but rather we guide our clients to film that works best for the client.

Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota Window Tinting Was Not Created Equally; Why It Matters?

Leave a reply

We hear what competitors are saying to our clients.  

There is a fascinating mixture of fiction sprinkled with fact.

A combination of hyperbole and total nonsense all offered up with a facade of seriousness.

Let’s try to separate fact from fiction.
 
 
All films are the same, so you should choose the lowest price?


Obviously this is an untrue statement and typically offered up by a hack window tint person who is buying the cheapest tint available.

It’s in their interest for you to suspend disbelief and accept that false premise.

Does that cheap steak at some hamburger grill taste the same as Ruth Chris?

 If your answer is yes than go ahead and buy some no name tint for your home or car!

Advanced Film Solutions recommends the very best quality window films.

3M Prestige, Eastman Chemical’s VISTA and  Huper Optik are NFRC certified and are supported by documented performance characteristics.

Gated communities limit or restrict the use of reflective metallic window films.

For these homes we propose our 3M Prestige Multilayered optical film or Huper Optik Ceramic Non-Metallic Window Film.

How do you want your windows to look from the inside and the outside?

Obviously there are aesthetic differences between the lower quality films and the top of line 3M, VISTA or Huper Optik.

OK we understand that, but are your films that much better? Now can you match their pricing??

We carry the spectacular 3M Prestige and 3M Ultra solar security window film as well as Eastma’s Vista and LLumar films and we will sharpen our pencils on a case by case basis.

 If you are looking for a highly efficient film and have no problems with reflectivity from an interior view, than the LLumar is a terrific solution. 

VISTA is manufactured by the same company  and was designed specifically with lower interior reflectivity.

VISTA Films are dual pane (IG) safe.  The lifetime warranty is transferable and quite frankly the VISTA Dealer has to meet a much higher level of dealer requirements than a LLumar dealer.

VISTA and LLumar are superior window films as are the ceramic Huper Optik  window film.

That’s value difference and why Advanced Film Solutions has earned our customer’s trust!

Security Window Film Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota Home Glass Protection

Burglars agree: Glazing Protection Films on sliders makes their task much more difficult.
 

These thieves ring your door bell and when they realize no one is home, they go around your home and make their way to your sliders or pool bath door.

If you don’t have security glazing window film there is only a piece of glass standing between them and your valuables.

Advanced Film Solutions is the region’s leader in the installation of security glazing window film.

These thicker coatings are available in clear versions and a host of solar versions that not only maintain the integrity of your doors and windows but also lower your monthly cooling costs and provide daytime privacy.


All of our choices start at a minimum 8 ML thickness.

These are the same coatings utilized by the Federal Government on GSA buildings throughout the USA as well as military bases throughout the world.


We recommend that you also have Advanced Film Solutions attach the film, glass and frames into a “system” using Dow silicone 995.

Don’t make it easy for thieves!
