Cost Effective Window Tinting Solutions For Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota

Leave a reply

A study published by the non-profit IWFA has concluded that installing solar control window film in Florida is the most cost effective aftermarket energy savings home improvement compared to adding insulation to your attic, replacing windows, replacing AC units, or sealing air gaps around your windows.

 

The Tampa Bay, Sarasota, St. Pete-Clearwater and Orlando area has an abundance of single pane clear glass windows. 

These configurations are extremely inefficient for keeping our intense heat from entering through your windows.

These single pane windows also allow UV rays an open invitation into your home fading valuable furnishings and endangering the health of your family from skin cancer.

UV Window Tinting Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota

An article in the Wall Street Journal discusses a recent and growing trend in interior design.

High cost custom drapery and sheer window treatments rapidly replacing blinds, shutters and vertical blinds are highly susceptible to sun and UV damage.

UV control window films are highly recommended since they eliminate 99.9% of the UV that would contribute to the fade and damage these expensive accessories.

These clear optically transparent films block more than 60-80% of the heat without altering the beauty or hue of your home.

“Many sheer window treatments incorporate a high-tech layer of protection from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, which can penetrate regular window glass and damage skin, discolor fabrics and overheat rooms.

 

A layer of protective film, like the kind once found mainly in cars, is mounted onto the glass window panes.

High-performance window film typically is cut to size and professionally installed by a dealer-representative affiliated with a manufacturer.

(It should be noted that darker and higher heat rejecting films will provide greater overall protection since UV is only approximately 1/3 the driving component of fade damage)

3M Prestige Vs. Huper Optik Window Tinting Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota

In one corner 3M Prestige Films. 

In the opposite corner Huper Optik nanoceramic films.

We will make some broad assumptions based upon our experience in the real world of window film competition where we win against 3M prestige or their home depot agents and window genie window washers every day of the week here in Florida.

  1. apples2Let’s assume that you live in an upscale home with plenty of heat streaming in through your windows.

  2. Let’s assume that you may live in a deed restricted or gated community where a reflective film is not allowed; or simply your preference is a non reflective appearance for you windows!

  3. I’ll also assume that you have been given a 3M demo or sales pitch using an IR Heat lamp, BTU meter and perhaps some sample comparisons between their prestige film and a competitive (much darker) film.

    You were shown how much more heat their prestige 70 blocks out compared to these dark reflective films. . .right?

Pretty amazing; if only it were true.

 
That heat lamp trick is a gimmick designed to fool you.

$_35
 The IR wavelengths of that lamp are in sync with that BTU meter.

I can explain how that illusion works but suffice to say think David Copperfield swallowing fire!

They didn’t show you the NFRC website where all certified films have been qualified on various window glass configurations.

They didn’t show you the actual prestige film because their sample card does not include their adhesive system.

That’s right. . kind of missed that one didn’t you?

Of course the film looks pretty darn clear on that sample card. I wonder how it will look on your glass?
