Tired of battling the relentless Central Florida sun and scorching temperatures? Advanced Film Solutions is here to revolutionize your living and working spaces with cutting-edge window film technology.

As Orlando’s premier residential and commercial window film installation company, we’re dedicated to providing the ultimate solution for comfort, energy efficiency, and protection.

Beat the Heat with Advanced Window Films

Living in Central Florida means dealing with long, hot summers and high humidity. While air conditioning helps, it can only do so much, especially when the sun’s intense rays are beaming through your windows.

That’s where Advanced Film Solutions comes in. Our advanced window films are specifically designed to reject a significant amount of solar heat, significantly reducing indoor temperatures and keeping your spaces comfortably cool, even on the hottest days.

Save Energy and Lower Your Utility Bills

By reducing the amount of solar heat that enters your home or business, our window films can drastically decrease your energy consumption.

With a cooler indoor environment, your air conditioning system won’t have to work as hard, leading to substantial savings on your monthly utility bills. Over time, the energy savings alone can pay for the cost of the window film installation, making it a wise and cost-effective investment.2942595

Protect Your Interiors and Your Health

The sun’s harmful UV rays are not just uncomfortable; they can also cause fading and damage to your valuable belongings, including furniture, flooring, artwork, and upholstery. Moreover, prolonged exposure to UV rays can pose serious health risks to you and your family. Advanced Film Solutions offers window films that block up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays, protecting your interiors and your skin from the sun’s damaging effects.

Glare can be particularly problematic in commercial spaces, leading to eye strain and reduced productivity.

Advanced Film Solutions provides window films that effectively control glare, creating a more comfortable and productive environment for both home and business.

Stop the Summer Heat Before It Starts: Why New Florida Homeowners Need Window Film Now

Leave a reply
The Gated Community at Lexington Oaks
 
 
 

Moving into a new home in Florida is an exciting chapter, filled with visions of sunny days and relaxed evenings. But as you settle into your new space, you might be overlooking a crucial element: the Florida sun itself.

Before and after comparison for west facing windows

While that abundance of natural light is wonderful, you’ll likely soon realize that certain rooms, particularly those with large windows and sliding glass doors facing west or south, turn into veritable ovens during the afternoon hours.

he heat gain is not only uncomfortable but also sends your air conditioning system into overdrive, resulting in sky-high energy bills.

Why Enhance Your New Home’s Windows Before Summer?

Prestige 70 is virtually invisible

 
Before the true heat of a Florida summer arrives, here’s why installing solar window film should be at the top of your moving to-do list:
 

 

Enhanced Cooling and Comfort:

The primary benefit is improved interior comfort. High-performance solar films significantly reject heat (solar energy), keeping your rooms noticeably cooler even when the sun is at its peak. No more retreat from your sun-drenched living room in the late afternoon.

Reduced Energy Costs:

In Florida, your AC is your biggest energy consumer. By blocking a significant amount of the sun’s heat from entering your home, window film reduces the load on your cooling system, leading to substantial energy savings that can quickly offset the installation cost.

UV Ray Protection:

The intense Florida sun carries harmful UV rays that cause fade damage to your flooring, furniture, artwork, and upholstery. It also poses risks to your family’s skin health. Premium solar window films block up to 99% of these damaging rays, effectively preserving your investments and protecting your family.

Glare Reduction:

Excessive sunlight creates annoying glare on TV screens, monitors, and devices, making it difficult to enjoy your home and spaces. Window film reduces this glare without distorting your view.

Added Security and Safety:

Consider a combination shatter-solar film. These films offer all the cooling and UV protection benefits but are engineered with advanced adhesive technology to help hold glass together in the event of impact. In storm-prone Florida, this added layer of security provides peace of mind against both storms and potential intruders.

The Solution: 3M and Eastman LLumar from Advanced Film Solutions

 

At Advanced Film Solutions, we are proud to offer the highest quality window films in the industry: 3M and Eastman LLumar.

These are not all-purpose films; they are scientifically engineered solutions tailored to our specific climate challenges.

3M Window Films:

Known worldwide for innovation and performance, 3M offers a range of options, from optically clear films that maintain your views while rejecting heat to decorative privacy films.

Eastman LLumar Window Films:

The world leader in the architectural film industry, LLumar provides exceptional performance and durability, with a focus on maximum solar heat rejection and UV protection. Advanced Film Solutions offers the Vista Film and Huper Optik Ceramic films that are ideal for Gated Communities.

By choosing a combination shatter-solar film from these top brands, you invest in both your home’s efficiency and your family’s safety.

Florida’s Best Window Film

 

 

Why NFRC Certification is the “Gold Standard” for Your Florida Home

Leave a reply

In the Sunshine State, window film isn’t a luxury—it’s a survival tool. But with so many brands making big promises about heat rejection, how do you know what’s real and what’s just marketing fluff?

NFRClogo3

These NFRC rated coatings can lower the monthly electric costs by 30% a month!

At Advanced Film Solutions, we don’t ask you to take our word for it. We let the data do the talking. Every film we install—from 3M Prestige and Huper Optik to Eastman’s LLumar and Vista lines—is certified by the NFRC.

What is NFRC Certification?

The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is a non-profit organization that provides fair, accurate, and credible energy performance ratings. Think of it like the “Nutrition Facts” label on your food, but for your windows.

When a film is NFRC-certified, it has undergone rigorous independent testing to verify:

  • Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): Exactly how much solar heat is blocked.

  • Visible Light Transmittance (VLT): Exactly how much light comes through.

  • U-Factor: How well the window insulates against heat transfer.

Window Film serves to balance the amount of light and heat reducing hot spots and allowing your AC system to be more productive.

The Danger of “Unverified” Film

In Florida’s intense climate, an uncertified film might look good on day one but fail to stop the heat, or worse, damage your dual-pane windows. Using non-certified products is a gamble with your comfort and your electric bill.

  • No special maintenance is required for window film and you’ll receive a lifetime warranty.
  • Window film is the most cost-effective energy-saving choice for home or building energy retrofit.
  • Advancements in window film have led to lighter nano-ceramic options that aren’t overly dark. These coatings meet all deed restrictions and HOA rules
  • Thicker security iterations provide a strong crime prevention glass hardening that will delay, deter and deny entry.

Why Choose Advanced Film Solutions?

Expertise matters just as much as the product. Our team doesn’t just “tint windows”; we engineer solutions for Florida’s unique challenges.

Benefit Why It Matters for Floridians
Lower Cooling Costs NFRC-verified SHGC ratings mean your AC isn’t fighting a losing battle.
Fading Protection We install films that block 99.9% of UV rays, preserving your floors and furniture.
Safety & Security Our Eastman and 3M films provide an extra layer of shatter resistance against storms and intruders.
Glass Compatibility Our experts ensure the film you choose is safe for your specific glass type (low-E, tempered, etc.).

Advanced Film Solutions team of dedicated installers has earned the Super Service Award from Angie’s List for 14 straight years.

Science-Backed Comfort

By choosing a company that insists on NFRC-certified brands like 3M, Huper Optik, and Vista, you are investing in documented performance. You’ll feel the difference in the temperature of your living room, and you’ll see the difference in your Duke Energy or TECO bill.

Stop guessing and start cooling. Trust the experts who prioritize verified science over sales talk.

The life safety considerations involved with selecting the best choice for your school glass security must be based on objective criteria.

The Federal guidelines are typically referred to as GSA blast criteria and subsequently testing done for the Department of Defense.

The following window film choices and brands have met and exceeded these requirements. There is no additional test of strength by the Federal government and any implied superiority by any manufacturer is strictly a sale pitch rather than a safety advantage.
