Tampa Bay Heating Up, Discover Window Tinting Savings

Leave a reply
It’s in the air.
 

While the calendar tells us it’s  almost May, afternoon temperatures are telling us that the hot days of summer are right around the corner.

 Homeowners know their single pane glass is incredibly inefficient at keeping your home cooler.
 
 
 

We have no choice but to keep our AC on constantly because of the humidity and summer heat.

There is no more cost effective solution than the installation of energy savings window film.

Recent studies conducted for the IWFA in California documents that fact.

Our temperatures are higher than California and we have far more humidity which adds to our heat index. Most homes have single pane glass here in the Tampa area which only increases your ROI.

Advanced Film Solutions is Tampa Bay’s leading home window film installation company.

We understand that one size doesn’t fit all requirements

That’s why we offer more choices in heat rejection, appearance and brands than any other local area provider.

Why is this important?
 
 
 

Many homeowners prefer a non-reflective film that won’t alter the appearance of their windows.

Our 3M Prestige and Prestige Ultra film and Huper Optik ceramic films meet this requirement without sacrificing heat rejecting performance.

You should also consider improving the  shatter protection of thicker versions of our solar control films.

These films improve glazing strength and create an effective barrier from burglary.

Security Window Film strengthens your home security defense by maintaining the structural integrity of the glass.

These thicker (8ML+) films also perform the same solar features you’d expect to find in thinner solar versions.

 

There is a modest up front cost for these dual benefit films but this investment is rewarded by the added safety and security that these glazing protection films provide.

Advanced Film Solutions shatter films block solar energy in the same manner as the thinner solar only versions. 

The thicker mylar films have incredible puncture strength and more aggressive adhesives.

These films when properly installed (optional fastening systems should be considered for larger window openings and sliders!) hold glass in place against intrusion and impact. 

In fact these are the very same films that protect government buildings throughout the world.

We have seen a spike in the number of installations geared to improving the glass protection of homes and businesses against burglary.

While FBI statistics seem to point to only a modest increase in burglaries, the clients we have interviewed have direct experience with home break-ins in their own neighborhood!

How thicker shatter films work?
 
 

Thicker safety and security window films hold the glass in place against forced entry. Glass- film- and frames can be reinforced using attachment systems. 

Formerly vulnerable rear windows and doors are now much harder to penetrate. 

This has the effect of slowing down would be intruders and allowing your home or business security system to sound the alarm.

Many consumers request versions that offer solar reduction properties or reflective films for privacy.

These films lower your monthly cooling costs by as much as 30% !

At minimum we recommend 8 ML thick films. 

While many manufacturers do make a 4 ML version, the thicker versions offer much greater puncture strength and tensile strength.

Protect, Home Furnishings From UV, Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota Window Film

Take a close look at your furnishings under the bright light that streams through your windows every single day.

UV
The unrelenting UV, heat and bright light damage your most valuable furnishings, rugs, wood floors, drapes and leather.

The cost to repair is prohibitive which is why most homeowners simply buy replacements.
 
 

There is a better way.

UV window film provides a barrier between a building’s occupants/interior furnishings and harmful ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet A rays (UVA) in particular are responsible for causing extensive damage – including initiating skin cancer development and causing fading of furniture and flooring.

While ordinary glass offers little to no protection from the sun, UV window films do, and at a fraction of the cost of other UV-blocking alternatives.

The Vista™ brand of UV window film provides the highest level of UVA and UVB rejection by blocking up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays.

Vista UV window film’s protective shield helps defend against the dangers of UV induced skin diseases and photosensitivity. The sun’s ultraviolet rays are also the leading cause of fading in interiors such as furniture, floorings, wall coverings, artwork and photographs. Retail stores are especially prone to damage from UVA rays as merchandise in windows is more susceptible to damage and fading.


Advanced Film Solutions installs UV, heat blocking thin films that preserve your furnishings.

These are the same films that effectively reduce your monthly electric bills by nearly 30% a month.
