Comparing Home Glass Window Tinting

One of our clients explained her decision making process to me. 

She explained that investing in window film was “like buying a vacuum cleaner”, she knows that she needs it; but “it gave her no pleasure in buying our film, unlike that feeling she got from buying a HD TV or a new couch.” 

Understood and “OUCH!”

Advanced Film Solutions is passionate about window film because we know how versatile these solutions are and how many issues are resolved when you have Vista or Huper Optik Films installed on your windows.

We know how much safer your home is from smash and garb and when you have our Armorcoat, Madico or LLumar 8 ML thick safety and security films installed on your windows.

It’s a “given” that our potential customers would be confused by the numerous choices available in the marketplace. 

The ultimate decision drills down to a matter of TRUST

Do you trust that the solution being proposed meets your stated requirements and that the provider can meet and exceed these requirements at a fair investment cost?

Here are suggested questions that you should ask our competition:

1. Do their films have the certification of the National Fenestration Ratings Council?

A simple yes, or no will suffice.

Our Vista Films are have earned this government certification that quantifies the true performance of our window film.  This is important since the data  in small print on their sample cards can be potentially misleading.

How?

Did they choose a sample to test from their best run of film?  What thickness of glass did they test?  Does their sample card have an adhesive and liner on their film sample?  That’s why the NFRC requires independent test results!

Advanced Film Solutions offers more choices of window films that meet this criteria than any other window film company in Florida.

Unequivocally!

 

2. Does their film comply with your Deed Restrictions?

If you live in a gated community your HOA may have a restriction on reflective films. There are only a handful of ceramic and nanotechnology films that match this standard.  Films like Huper Optik are virtually clear yet cut heat and UV leaving your windows looking untouched!

Our ceramic prestige films meet this criteria, can never corrode, turn purple or discolor. There are no dyes in our ceramic films and our hard coat that protects our film from scratches out performs all of our prestige competitors.

4. Are they using the “Who’s Afraid Of the Big Brand Wolf” routine on you?

Negative selling techniques like “they will go out of business”, “their film falls off the windows”, “they used to work for us”, “we invented the wheel in 10,000 BC”, “our film works better when it’s hotter” “we made up our own test because the industry measures the Sun’s angle the wrong way”, “our films reject 97% of the infrared”, “we install better; get closer to the edge of the glass” , “Windex makes them run!”, “their film rusts!” and a host of other nonsense simply made up on the spot.
