How Advanced Film Solutions Won The Tampa Window Tinting War

After 16 plus years of running my own company in the fascinating world of Tampa window tinting it may still be premature in declaring victory over competition, but hey; we are getting close!

The challenge for Advanced Film Solutions and is to consistently execute a superior business plan providing clients with the very best value proposition in window film!

Bar none!

Advanced Film Solutions created a winning foundation and competitive advantage leveraging our superior solutions versus the perception of 3M window film superiority.

Our VISTA and LLumar combination provides our clients an unmatched selection of choices. Our VISTA dual reflective films are comparatively inexpensive and offer sustained views particularly during the evening hours.

Our Huper Optik ceramic films gave Advanced Film Solutions a quantifiable advantage over the 3M Prestige Film series.

Huper Optik has superior optical clarity and they manufacture these films without any dyes.

3M recognized that they needed a ceramic film so they re-boxed another companies film. This private label film has higher reflectivity than our patented Huper Optik. They are charging the same or higher for less heat rejection and they are limited to a narrow 5 foot width.

Advanced Film Solutions placed focus on energy conserving window films for consumers. That’s why we have exhibited at the Tampa Living Green Expo for five straight years.

Advanced Film Solutions expanded operations into Bradenton and Sarasota. We expanded into the Orlando region.

NFRC ratings separate fact from baloney which is particularly critical when we compete against their prestige series.

Window Film Vs. Window Replacement Myths!

Myths:

Window film is a temporary solution for improving the energy efficiency of windows. The film doesn’t stand up to Florida’s heat and brutal sun.

Window tinting peels or bubbles or turns purple.

Replacement windows (their sales guy says!) is the best thing you can do to replace your single pane windows. Low E and IG units are clearly expensive but well worth it in the long run.

Facts:

Today’s window film is manufactured for performance and durability.

Optically transparent coatings that are warranted for a lifetime and filter out 99.9% of harmful UV rays.

While damaged or deteriorating windows simply have to be replaced, window tinting provides an affordable alternative to replacement when your goal is to improve energy efficiency. In fact, the cost for quick, professional installation is about one-tenth the cost of replacement windows!

These films will last for decades and they won’t peel, bubble or change colors.

Window films have been tested and documented by the NFRC so you get exactly what you are paying for.

The ROI from our window film installation is the fastest of any home improvement aftermarket solution. Typically payback in two years or less.

Get Energy Efficient Windows without Replacement

Reducing your home’s energy consumption with energy efficient windows not only saves you money, it also helps the environment and can lower your carbon footprint. Replacement low-e windows have 128-267 times the carbon footprint of window film.

Plus, installing new windows leads to more landfill waste while energy saving window film installation has little to no waste.

Most window replacement payback period range from 15-20 years!

So before you invest in new windows think Window Film.
