AND HOW ‘BOUT THEM HIGH ELECTRIC AC BILLS

Window Film Sure Seems Like The Best Answer but . . .
 

DOES IT REALLY WORK?   (And will it last?)

 Advanced Film Solutions loves that question because window film suffers from an incredibly poor image.

 

This began when window film companies first created solar films back in the 1960’s.

Those were the days of dyed films that rapidly turned colors (mostly purple)

The adhesives failed turning hazy, yellow and bubbling.

Today Advanced Film Solutions installs NFRC CERTIFIED nano-ceramic window films and completely metallic sputtered films that last for decades and never turn colors, bubble or de-laminate.

VISTA Film blocks 80% of the heat and that drops your AC costs down an incredible 30% per month during our hot months.

How much was your AC bill last June and July?
 
Does it work?
