Tampa Window Tinting DIY Vs. The Pro’s At Advanced Film Solutions

You’re ambitious, frugal and handy

 AND. .

Tired of that glare, heat and fading.


You’ve heard of tinting for your car and when you walked past the Home Depot display for window tinting; you couldn’t resist buying a roll, or two of Gila Film.

So far- -so good?
 


Advanced Film Solutions has performed more than 24,000 home installations since we launched our company in early 2007.

Quite a few (too many to mention) were fix up installations.

We were called in to rip off these tints and do it right. . .the second time with Vista, Huper Optik or LLumar Film.

We’ve seen our share of installers over the years.

Guys and ladies who actually do this type of work for a living; and there is a wide gap in installation skill sets and ability.

 
  • Bubbles: Too much water, or too little.
  • Gaps: The glass area between the window frame and the film. A novice leaves wide gaps that let sunlight in and look horrible!
  • Straight cuts: We use film handlers to get a factory edge novice DIY tint amateurs do free hand cuts.
  • Lines and creases: When our installers do a project there are no lines or creases. That’s because they have developed the skill over thousands of installations to do outstanding work.
  • The film itself: The film you buy for DIY installations is typically very limited in variety, durability and aesthetics. Of course; you might be a big fan of purple tint??
  • Warranty: We provide a written lifetime warranty and our Vista, LLumar and Huper Optik warranty is one time transferable to the next homeowner. When you do it yourself; there isn’t any warranty.
Had enough?

NFRC Ceramic Huper Optik Window Film Comfort For Tampa’s Prestige Homes

When we launched Advanced Film Solutions in early 2007 our plan was to offer Floridians the best selection of window films in the world.

Advanced Film Solutions has completed 24,000 flawless installations and in many of these homes and businesses our competition was 3M Window Film or one of their home depot and window genie’s agents.

Superior technology, performance, value and documented results!

In each critical category our films surpass our 3M competition.


Our Huper Optik films are available in a wide array of light transmission and thanks to the lower solar absorption rates than 3M’s prestige 40- we block more heat and glare than their film.

Our Huper Optik films are dye free.

This preserves the appearance of the film for a lifetime of enjoyment and our scratch coating protects your investment.

Both Huper Optik and prestige do a fine job in factoring out IR (invisible heat that makes up nearly 50% of what we associate as heat) Huper Optik isn’t pretending their film works better at an angle (because every film does as does glass itself)

We won’t trick you by showing a bogus IR lamp illusion that makes it appear our films block more heat than a silver metal film.

Advanced Film Solutions also recommends our Low E all season window film. This solution insulates your windows winter or summer by acting like a heat mirror.

The NFRC has leveled the competitive playing field by providing objectivity through documented independent lab tested performance characteristics.

This is our competitive edge- -FACTS!

If you are researching a window film solution that is non reflective (meets deed restrictions or HOA rules) than call Advanced Film Solutions for a free estimate and a direct comparison in performance and cost!

We win on the glass with superior value and clarity.

Florida Compares Huper Optik Ceramic Window Tinting Vs. 3M Window Film

Advanced Film Solutions is Tampa Bay, Sarasota and Orlando Window Film, and what better place to be than one of the hottest, muggiest, humidity drenched, blazing, scorching places in the USA?

That’s why home and business owners select the best heat rejecting coatings manufactured by the world leaders in thin film coatings.

The technology and market leader: Eastman Chemical borne from the innovation of Eastman Kodak.

Advanced Film Solutions competes against 3M window film dealers and a host of agents, AC companies, out of state resellers, and of course the kiosks they set up at Home Depot.

We are very familiar with the limited 3M portfolio given the fact that Advanced Film Solutions was founded by the former National Sales Manager of 3M Window Film after “retiring” from 3M after 33 years.

Advanced Film Solutions is a family owned business that has earned the Super Service Award from Angie’s List for 8 straight years and an A Plus Rating from the Better Business Bureau.

We easily out perform the 3M Prestige Films in the following documented advantages:

  • Our Huper Optik ceramic and Drei films met TECO rebates while the prestige film with the most heat rejection does not. Why?
  • Because their film does not stop enough heat from entering through your windows.

hopt

Our patented coatings are multilayered.

3M has a knock off ceramic film that they repackage that does not equal the heat rejection of our Huper Optik and is more reflective inside and outside.

Believe it or not this stuff is limited to a five ft. width??

Our clear adhesives are optically clearer than the 3M adhesive.

Our hue is a a natural neutral color so the light doesn’t appear blue.

IWFA – IR Ratings of Window Film
2008-07-010-Tech Update-NA

Our films block more heat on angles as does glass.

When a 3M agent pretends that is special you are encouraged to laugh or roll your eyes.

Our coatings are NFRC certified so instead of pretending we block more heat you can simply look it up on the NFRC website.

You’ll notice that infrared heat rejection is only a portion of what we measure as heat.

Our coatings block more heat across the board which is why we qualify for rebates in Tampa and Polk County and their film prestige  did not!

Call Advanced Film Solutions and compare our superior choices, word of mouth recommendations and on glass performance!

Compare our Vista, Llumar, Sunscape and solar security films against their slew of dealers and depot agents and you’ll select
