Window Tinting Meets Demand In Tampa Orlando & Bradenton



The demand for our VISTA  Huper Optik and Llumar Solar and solar security films has never been greater!



Maybe it's the energy rate hikes from our wonderful Florida power companies like Duke Energy and TECO?

  • Perhaps it's the rebates our clients earn.

  • The fact that our solar films lower monthly electric bills by 30%

    UV is eliminated so furnishings are protected from fading!

We completed 4 home installations Wednesday and are lined up for three more today!



Our  expert installation crews are prepared and we are fully stocked.

Uncompromising Innovative Tampa Bay Window Tinting

We didn't set out to change the world of window film.

But in many ways that's what we have done.



Other companies may "talk the game" and try to eke out higher installation costs hoping that their client's don't do their homework or shop around.



Many continue to pound their drum with using their logo or the consumer's limited knowledge pertaining to window films, in particular the anticipated performance results that you should be demanding.

Not me.

Not Advanced Film Solutions.


We are as current when it comes to the latest advances in window film technology and the numerous film solutions available through our company solving our clients problems.


We compare the NFRC quantified performance numbers so our recommendations are based on fact rather than hype.

We represent the industry leading window film solutions. 



We know exactly why one brand of film might be less expensive than another, and I can assure you it isn't that they have figured out some brilliant approach to cutting overhead or working their staff harder.


Today's consumer is smarter than ever before. They are also far more skeptical than at any time in consumer history.

That's why we stick to the one thing that we do best:

Window Film.

Let our single minded uncompromising obsession work for you!

Dark Side Tampa Orlando Window Tinting



The Dark Side Of Window Tinting

Advanced Film Solutions completed  a recent install in Tarpon Springs.

The family room in this gorgeous home faces due west.

The heat and glare were so bad the homeowners couldn't enjoy their new TV or stay in that room for more than ten minutes at a time during the afternoon hours.



We window film mavens love to brag about our nanoceramic films that block copious amounts of heat while letting in more daylight than you can possibly imagine. . .but. .

These folks were not enthused.

They wanted it dark.

They just wanted the heat out of their home.

They chose our  5% dual reflective film.

Sun Battles Tampa Window Tinting Cool Summer Days

Maybe it's me but the heat has never felt quite this hot in all the years we have lived in Tampa.

There's no break in sight; but you already knew that!

We completed 22 installations last week with our Huper Optik VISTA solar and VISTA Window Films.

It's all about comfort and reduced electric bills. 

That's where VISTA works best.

 

Think of your west, south and east facing glass. You know how hot your rooms get when the Sun blasts through your glass. 

You've tried blinds and drapes but they simply don't do enough to cool down your home.

Our VISTA Films block nearly 80% of the solar energy streaming through your glass.

That equates to a reduction in monthly cooling costs by 50% and that's an impressive reduction in your total electric bill.

Progress Energy and TECO rebates apply.

Lifetime warranty against color change or bubbles. The residential warranty is automatically transferable to the next home owner.

Car Too Hot Top Two Tampa Heat Rejecting Films

If you live and drive (and who doesn't?) in the Tampa Bay area; you appreciate that tinting your vehicle is a necessity.



You are also familiar with the numerous car tinting shops and Craig's List suppliers who offer car tinting at prices that range from a Subway Sandwich to a Rolex watch.

Tinters at Flea Markets, hiding behind car washes and car stereo joints that pretend to do car tinting (they call one of their Craig's List buddies to work on your car!)

But who actually installs the best heat rejecting window films in the Tampa Bay area?

Advanced Film Solutions is the only professional installation company for automotive films that installs FormulaOne Pinnacle and Comfort Series as well as Huper Optik Ceramic Films.

What makes these films unique?

Typical standard window tinting (everyone else in Tampa Bay) can only block 40-50% of the total solar energy in a 15% light transmission window film (this is the legal light transmission for the rear windows.)



FormulaOne Pinnacle blocks 63% of the TSER and Comfort Series rejects 63% of the TSER as well.




No other automotive car films block this much solar energy in a "Legal" 15%!

Not that no name film that Flea Market guy is pushing today!

Advanced Film Solutions uses high speed plotters to cut your tint patterns. This eliminates using sharp razors on your soft glass.

Our warranty is lifetime, no fault and transferable (this is unique in Tampa Bay!)



Protect Furnishings UV Fading Window Tinting Tampa Orlando Solutions



Take a close look at your furnishing under the bright light that streams through your windows every single day.

The unrelenting UV, heat and bright light damage your most valuable furnishings, rugs, wood floors, drapes and leather.



The cost to repair is prohibitive which is why most homeowners simply buy replacements.



Advanced Film Solutions installs UV, heat blocking thin films that preserve your furnishings.


These are the same films that effectively reduce your monthly electric bills by nearly 30% a month. These films will earn you rebates from our local power companies.

Window Tinting Tampa Privacy Car Tinting Lutz Location

I enjoyed reading this article from Dubai where drivers discuss their rationale for going darker on their car tinting than the laws dictate.



Many women request reflective films because they do not appreciate the visibility (gawkers) when they are driving around town. 

Florida tint laws are fairly liberal since we are allowed to go darker on visible light transmissions than most northern states allow.


28% on the front windows and 15% on the rear windows.

Watch Your Step Double Wide Tinting

It's not all luxury homes and condos that need window tinting.

Every so often we get calls from folks living in trailers and double-wides.

I'll be politically correct here by saying that they are all very nice people and usually long in years.  (That's how I'd like to be described rather than that A-Hole, but I digress)

So I headed out to a double wide in Lakeland. 

Lakeland is the no man's land situated between Orlando and Tampa.

It's best seen from a car window zipping by at 75 MPH.



So there I am knocking on the door of the double wide. Their trailer singled out with a spinning wind mill stuck in a rock pile gravel front yard.

A dog or two starts barking and in a few seconds the door swings open and a husky gent greets me.

I'm overpowered with the smell of dog crap and something else which I am confident isn't a bowl of Gardenias.

The lady of the house is sitting in their TV room and makes no movement to welcome me. I do detect some eye movement as she watches a quiz show on a Hi Def TV twice as big as anything in my house.

Detecting her interest I follow suit and notice that it's a game show where the contestants all seem very young (like teenagers) and they are answering tough questions.

I wonder for a moment whether not knowing anything makes her feel stupid when she watches this stuff or is she somehow proud of these kids for knowing so much??

The husband (I assume that's who he is or he'd have run away years ago!) details their need.

He wants something that will stop the heat and give them privacy. I immediately imagine all their neighbors dying to see what these two are eating to maintain their weight.

He wants to do the room that gets most hot and even though the other room  is only separated by hanging beads; I get the message and show them the darkest shiniest window tinting known to man or beast.

The wife suddenly turns away from the TV and asks me how much this magical cure will cost her?

I tell them I have to measure to figure out the amount of glass we will cover.

She tells me to "watch my step" because their dogs don't go out to crap and in fact the other room in their double-wide is designated for where their mutts do their business!

Seriously.

So I tell them it might just be easier to measure from the outside of the trailer.

I give them a price and they tell me that two more window tint companies are coming to give estimates after me.

I tell them they should choose whomever they think is giving them the best value and that my guys will wear booties when they install which we usually wear to protect the client's carpets, etc. but this time we would to protect my installers shoes!

I waved goodbye and left.

They went with another window tint company who sold them a dark shiny film twice as expensive as my quote.

When I asked why they told me that the other fella told them the shiny film wasn't shiny and they believed him.

Watch your step. . .

Land O' Lakes, Lutz, Odessa Cooler Efficient Window Film

Our client lives in a beautiful home in an exclusive gated community nestled in Land O' Lakes, Florida.




The front of their home faces South and gets baked by the Sun throughout the hottest time of the day.

Every afternoon their west exposure heats up their bedrooms making these rooms unlivable despite the air conditioning running 24/7.



They did research on various methods for lowering the heat. 

They looked into expensive window upgrades; but each window replaced would cost $1000.



They compared window film alternatives and selected several local companies to measure and offer a quotation.

Obviously we won.


We proposed a combination of energy efficient films that matched our customer's lifestyle and aesthetic preferences. 

On the front of their home they will have our Huper Optik Ceramic Film.  This film qualifies for  rebates and the fact that there is no metallic reflectivity meets their strict homeowner association rules.



The rear windows and side windows of the home will have Vista dual reflective films .  This will decrease the heat gain by nearly 75% and provide daytime privacy for the windows that face their neighbors windows.



We also recommended our thicker Vista shatter film to protect the rear doors off thjeir lanai.  These doors are a weak entry point in terms of security.

Our 3M competition offered "their" Affinity film  for all of their windows. This film is highly reflective on the exterior and would have violated their deed restriction.



And considering the limitations of this film they were priced much higher (which is entirely their right to quote!)

Our crew completed a flawless installation and their home will be cooler, glare free with UV nearly eliminated by this afternoon.

South Tampa Gets Heat Relief Plus TECO Rebates

Our Advanced Film Solutions installation crews were cooling homes throughout South Tampa today.

The perfect solutions for the best addresses in Tampa Bay.



Close to downtown these homes need to keep a historic appearance so reflective, shiny films are OUT!

The best choice are our incredible nano-ceramic German manufactured Huper Optik Films.



These films meet the TECO rebate requirements while our unfortunate 3M competition does not.

So our non metallic ceramic film block more heat, come in more varieties and posses the optical clarity and durability that you'd expect from a German made ceramic film.


The historic non reflective appearance is sustained!

Heat is reduced by 20-30% and the UV eliminated.



That's why from Hyde Park to Ybor City, from Harbour Island to MacDill the best solutions are from Advanced Film Solutions/

We are uniquely qualified to perform the best installations.  A Rated BBB and our installers have earned Angie's List Super Service Award for 2011 and again in 2012.

Tampa Takes Advantage Of Window Tinting Opportunities

Advanced Film Solutions became Tampa Bay's largest and most respected window film installation company because we meet our customer's requirements.

We tailor affordable and solutions specifically designed for our unique Floridian requirements.



Many of our competitors (present and past!) focused on one brand only.

3M Dealers will talk about the 1960's and the good old days when Eisenhower was President.  Gee that must have been fun times for them!


This losing strategy limited their ability to meet their clients requirements which are broader and not so easily restricted.


The heat in Florida is oppressive and Floridians have their AC (heat pumps) on 24/7 from April until October.


Tampa Electric and Duke Energy have initiated window film rebate incentives for installing our window films.



Our VISTA and Huper Optik Window Films reduce your monthly bill by 30%.

Our window films cut 99.9% of UVA and UVB and up to 87% of the glare.



Your home becomes cooler and your AC costs are dramatically reduced.   Your furnishings, drapes, carpets and wood floors are preserved.

Advanced Film Solutions offers a practical alternative that is effective 365 days a year!

Free estimates and a superior installation.

Sunny Side Of Your House Documented Lessons In Window Film

Today was one of those days that you hope for in the window film business.

Sunny and hot - -Not a cloud in the sky.



Rooms so bright some homeowners resorted to taping aluminum foil on their windows. (How do you not laugh at these cheapskates?)

From Homossassa to Leesburg back to Lake Mary and around to Winter Park.


The faces change but the story stays the same:



Their home gets too hot. . .

Their rooms too bright. . .

Their furnishings are fading, their wood floors getting lighter. . .

Some rooms are unlivable. . .

Their electric bill is way too high. . .



They need privacy from snooping neig
hbors to the left, right and behind their homes.

The affordable, elegant, innovative and durable solution?


Solar control window coating film from Advanced Film Solutions.

Free estimates, more choices and better prices!

No games, heat lamp tricks or baloney about inventing film in the 1960's or working better at angles. No BS heat lamp illusions pretending that a OK film does magic on the glass.



No.  Unlike our 3M competition we focus on today's leading solutions by Eastman Chemical the world leader in window film.

We deal in NFRC rated facts so our clients get exactly what has been tested and documented.



And our choices include more rebate qualifying iterations and aesthetically superior clarity and choices than their limited portfolio.

Window Tinting Dare To Compare Tampa Bay, Orlando

Noticed that Electric Bill??

Can't believe your eyes?

Your electric bill sky rockets when you turn on that air conditioner.

Window Film has come a very long way since sun control films were originally manufactured.  Today's window film does not turn purple or bubble when installed by a professional company.


The old days of highly reflective tin foil  looking window tinting is ancient history!



With many choices out there, how should a Tampa, Orlando, Miami or Sarasota consumer make an educated choice?



Here are easy to remember suggestions:
 
Are their films IG safe? In their darker versions?

Check with the competitor but our experience is that IG units require specially designed window films that will not create thermal stress on IG units.  The Vista series of films were designed specifically with that requirement in mind.


TECO and Duke Energy Rebates are based on the VLT and shading coefficient of these films. Our IG safe films come in darker transmissions that meet and exceed these rebate requirements.

Do they offer a non reflective solar control film that can meet your deed restrictions?

Our Vista and Huper Optik Nano-Ceramic films meet that criteria for gated communities, condo associations and all deed restrictions that place limitations on reflective films.

Does the installation company carry General Liability Insurance and have a place of business?



Many window tinters work from their home and do not carry the insurance requirements. These folks are installing in your home and it is critical that you know the character of these folks


Advanced Film Solutions is fully insured ($2,000,000) and we have no issues concerning our reputation or background checks.

Are the window films proposed certified by the NFRC?


Vista Films are certified by the NFRC, the body that issues ratings for window performance.

May Skin Cancer Lessons Window Film Tampa-Orlando

Skin Cancer and Melanoma are serious health concerns that can be addressed with PREVENTION!

Many people believe that glass factors out these Ultra Violet Rays, but unfortunately that isn't always the case.

Integrate Window Film Into Your Tampa Energy Management Plan

Facility and building management typically focus on Hvac and lighting when they design energy management plans.

Small wonder since these are notorious energy wasters and implementing upgrades has a direct bottom line benefit.



Window Film retrofits are less top of mind for a variety of reasons but the return on investment for a solar window film application provides the fastest ROI of any alternate strategy.



Life cycle benefits are also impressive as our commercial applications have a long-term life expectancy and our warranty is 15 years.

The tangible savings in monthly energy costs can be easily determined. Less well known is the increase in employee productivity based on the improved comfort of their working environment.

Our portfolio includes several lighter choices that are virtually invisible on the glass.  These films provide superior heat rejection (or insulation winter or summer) without decreasing the daylighting.



Additionally building interiors and employees enjoy a UV free workplace. This has dramatic benefits for preserving paintings, carpets and office equipment that can be damaged by heat and light.

The curb appeal of your building is enhanced thanks to the streamlining effect of our films.


Florida commercial properties are fortunate that our local utilities TECO and Duke Energy provide free energy audits and incentive rebates that promote the installation of our solar coatings.



Advanced Film Solutions provides expert installations of today's leading solar and solar security window film.

These coatings are NFRC rated and as previously noted warranted for 15 years.



Manufactured by Eastman Chemical these coatings include Vista Film, EnerLogic Low E window film, Huper Optik Ceramic Films and the popular economically priced LLumar Commercial Films.

Based in Tampa with offices in Orlando Advanced Film Solutions provides free estimates.  We are fully insured and rated A with BBB.

NFRC Huper Optik Defining Comfort For Prestige Tampa Homes

When we launched Advanced Film Solutions in early 2007 our plan was to offer Floridians the best selection of window films in the world.

Advanced Film Solutions has completed 5,000 flawless installations and in many of these homes and businesses our competition was 3M Window Film or one of their home depot agents.

Superior technology, performance, value and documented results!



In each critical category our films surpass our 3M competition.

Our Huper Optik films are available in a wide array of light transmission and thanks to the lower solar absorption rates than 3M's prestige 40- we block more heat and glare than their film.



Our Huper Optik films are dye free.

This preserves the appearance of the film for a lifetime of enjoyment and our scratch coating protects your investment.


Both Huper Optik and prestige do a fine job in factoring out IR (invisible heat that makes up nearly 50% of what we associate as heat) Huper Optik isn't pretending their film works better at an angle (because every film does as does glass itself)


We won't trick you by showing a bogus IR lamp illusion that makes it appear our films block more heat than a silver metal film.

Advanced Film Solutions also recommends our EnerLogic Low E all season window film. This solution insulates your windows winter or summer by acting like a heat mirror.

The NFRC has leveled the competitive playing field by providing objectivity through documented independent lab tested performance characteristics.

This is our competitive edge- -FACTS!

If you are researching a window film solution that is non reflective (meets deed restrictions or HOA rules) than call Advanced Film Solutions for a free estimate and a direct comparison in performance and cost!

We win on the glass with superior value and clarity.

Land O' Lakes Home Window Film Coolest Installations

Our team was busy this morning installing our Huper Optik ceramic films on the windows of a beautiful home in Connerton, Land O' Lakes, FL



Huper Optik was the ideal choice based on the heat blocking capabilities in alignment with the non-reflective appearance of the glass.

This is a deed restricted community that prohibits reflective films and Huper Optik is interestingly less reflective than glass itself.

Our client chose the Huper Optik 40 for greater glare and fade control.



  • Their home is cooler and the glare is lowered by 60%

  • The UV has been virtually eliminated.



  • Their pristine views have been preserved.

  • Their ability to see through their windows day or night is protected!

If you live in a Gated Community or under a deed restriction you don't have to suffer with clear energy wasting glass.

Call Advanced Film Solutions today for a free estimate and start enjoying a comfortable energy smart home tomorrow!

Advanced Film Solutions has built it's solid reputation on superior customer service and delighted clients.

Bottom line energy cost savings and always with documented NFRC rated window film.



UV Fade issues- Our clients were particularly concerned with fading of upholstery, wood floors and precious furnishings. The intense Sun and the fact that clear glass does almost nothing to factor out heat, light and UV were determining factors.



Energy savings- TECO rebates are motivating homeowners to consider window film and these consumers are not disappointed.

$2.00 per sq. ft. rebates for west and eastern facing windows.

Privacy- Many of our homes are single story ranch designs or they have copious amounts of glass that face a neighbors windows. Our Vista Films provide the daytime privacy that many homeowners require.

Safety and Security- Our Vista  dual benefit window films are constructed 8 times thicker than their solar versions.



Commercial Office Towers and Retail Stores:  Advanced Film Solutions has completed landmark installations throughout 2013!

Prestige Homes Clear Ceramic & Low E Window Films

Unlike window films of the past; Advanced Film Solution films are not reflective, nor will they block electronic signals or wireless transmissions.

We won't play you with angle nonsense about working better when it's hot or gimmicks with IR lamps and BTU  meters at very narrow wavelengths.

Ivy Lakes Odessa, Huper Optik Ceramic Nanotechnology Home Window Tinting



Advanced Film Solutions crews were assembled at a well appointed home in Odessa, FL installing the incredible German manufactured Huper Optik Ceramic Films.



These coatings are far more durable than standard window films. They are designed for maximum heat rejection without changing the reflectivity of your home's windows.

Standard metal films present a shiny appearance that many home owner associations restrict.  Our incomparable nanoceramic Huper Optik films block infrared heat allowing a light transmission film to block more heat than many darker reflective films that work in the visible light spectrum.


Note the 3M hazy adhesives compared to the clarity of Huper Optik

Huper Optik qualifies for TECO rebates for west and east facing glass. Our key competitor 3M offers a dyed mult-layered film that does not factor out enough heat to meet TECO's requirements.



The optical clarity of Huper Optik is remarkable and these coatings are available in a wide range of light transmissions.



Frequently imitated; Huper Optik offers patented ceramic coatings available in wider widths than our knock-off competition. Here again our competition 3M reboxes a generic ceramic film that is limited in light transmissions and widths.



Ceramic films have a superior scratch coating that stands up to a lifetime of enjoyment and because there are no dyes; the vibrant hues will be maintained throughout the years these films are on your windows.



Advanced Film Solutions is uniquely qualified to perform the very best installations throughout Tampa Bay and the Orlando I-4 Corridor.

We have earned Angie's List Super Service Award for the last two years and are rated A with the Better Business Bureau.



We are fully insured and our management team has 40 years of experience including 33 years with the aforementioned 3M Company.

They cut your glass with sharp razors since they are too cheap to afford a plotter and precision cut software.

That's great for a teen in their first clunker car, but not for a Mom and kids.

Property Management Retailers Endorse Window Film USA


Our objective at Window Film USA and Advanced Film Solutions  was to offer superior NFRC rated window film solutions that provide our clients better value solutions in Florida and throughout the USA than our 3M window film competition.




This is still true for the residential markets here in Tampa, Orlando AND NOW EVERYWHERE.

The winning combination is VISTA, Huper Optik EnerLogic and LLumar

Later we expanded and broadened our portfolio with Geoshield, Sunscape Select and Solar Gard Armorcoat and SunTek




Commercial Installations:



The commercial markets typically demand competitively priced window films and clients understand the difference between fluff, hype and logo waving versus NFRC rated factual performance by the true market leaders in window film.

As an example take GSA and Dept of Defense testing criteria for high profile blast protection.



Our LLumar, Vista, SunTek, Madico, Armorcoat films meet GSA 3A . These films come in an assortment of light transmissions including privacy silver, neutral 20, 40, 50 and clear. We offer dual reflective Vista in a 28 and 38%.

3M?

They are limited to 5 ml in a 35%  and a clear 4 Ml and 6 ML version.

In most cases the 3M people will try to charge much more for films that meet the same security impact requirement but with less choices.

If that may make sense to a government agency who might take the lazy choice but it never makes sense for any commercial business watching their bottom line!


This makes commercial and retail projects much more competitive and certainly Facility Managers are well past falling for  3M's 97% IR rejection nonsense or that their film works better at an angle.

Or how about a 3M Low E Film that only has a limited five year warranty and 1/3 the winter energy savings as our Enerlogic Film with a 15 year commercial warranty??



Our unique EnerLogic All Season Low E Films that provide all year energy savings.


Advanced Film and Window Film USA for the Commercial Buildings in the USA.



After all we represent the industry leading brands and we know how to position these films.
  • Energy savings as part of a performance contract!
  • Commercial Rebates nationally
  • Choices-Choices-Choices
  • LEEDS
  • Installation capabilities across the USA
Project management is the key.

Let-Light-Shine-Bright-Home-Tinting-Ideas-Orlando-Tampa



Advanced Film Solutions is Florida's leading window film installation company.


We have accomplished this by gearing our entire portfolio of prestige window film solutions to meet and exceed our client's requirements.



Many of our customer's reside in Gated Communities. 

CHOICES!

These communities like Windermere Cheval and Waterchase have strict limitations that prohibit the use of shiny reflective (metal) window films. Homeowners still require energy savings and protection from crime and wind blown debris.


Advanced Film Solutions offers a suite of films that will match our customer's specific requirements.



Choices begin with Vista Film, EnerLogic and our  NFRC Cerified Huper Optik.

These films meet all Deed Restrictions since they maintain the aesthetics of your glass actually reducing the reflectivity of your windows from an interior and exterior view.
 
How does Advanced Film Solutions match against their nano-layered optical film?

  • Huper Optik qualifies for TECO and Progress Energy RebatesThe 3M nano film does not!

  • Our Ceramic Films have a neutral hue while their nano film has a decidedly BLUE Light that alters your interior color scheme.


  • Our adhesives are optically clear.  Their film has a haze issue that is easily observable. Yes, I know this may seem hard to believe, but we can easily demonstrate this for you before you make any buying decision!  Take the side by side challenge! 

    Let us install our film right alongside theirs. We guaranty that you will see the difference in clarity for yourself! It's not even close.

  • Our films work better at an angle, and so do theirs! There is no superiority in their angle claims.

  • Huper Optik  reduce similar amounts of the invisible IR wavelength. The 3M claims of 97% require that you read their "fine print" Claims of 97% IR rejection are spurious since they are simply measuring one very narrow wavelength between 900 nm and 1000 nm.


     
    Take a look at the entire IR Wavelength (750-2500nm) and 3M's prestige bragging position! 97% between the two red arrows!! SERIOUSLY!

  • Our scratch resistant coatings out-perform their nano films.  Our color is consistent and can not be scratched from the surface of the film. Try scratching their film. PLEASE!

  • Warranty- Vista and Huper Optik have a manufacturer's issued lifetime warranty.   
           
      
Advanced Film Solutions has installed our film solutions in over 6000 prestige homes since May 2007.

We offer a full line of metallic and low reflective films for consumers who do not have to deal with Home Owners Associations or Deed Restrictions!
