Comparing Prestige Home Depot Window Tinting Quote-Advanced Film Solutions

Let's state some basic assumptions:



You were strolling through a Home Depot Store and happened upon a 3M Window Film display.

The helpful sales person showed you a rather convincing demo of a heat lamp and how amazingly effective that clear Prestige 70 was when they metered it on a BTU device. They wouldn't give you a price but insisted that you get an in home estimate.  They may have requested that both husband and wife be home at the same time.

The 3M sales person came to your home.

They measured your windows but in all likelihood they wouldn't tell you how many square feet you have. They handed you their quote. 

You were shocked but you held strong and advised them you needed time to think (or possibly mortgage your home!) They may have pressured you about taking an incentive to buy right then. . .you held out. (Smart move!)

You went to GOOGLE and found this website.

So far so good?

Advanced Film Solutions offers the industry leading VISTA and Huper Optik Ceramic Films. We also provide Solar Gard, LLumar, SunTek, Geoshield, Hanita and Armorcoat Window Film.

I was a 3M employee for 33 years. At one point I was the National Sales Manager of 3M Window Film.

These Are The Facts:


  1. The BTU meter and heat lamp demo created an illusion of performance .  The narrow wavelengths produced by the IR lamp is not indicative of the entire solar spectrum. Bottom line it's a trick.
  2. The Prestige 70 has fair heat rejection slightly over 50% (certainly not 97%!!)

  3. Or you can check the NFRC website which documents the actual performance of Prestige 70.

  4. Our Huper Optik and Vista Films are also certified by the NFRC. Heat rejection is based upon the film you select. We have clear non metallic films that out-perform Prestige in heat rejection.
  5. All window films work better at an angle . If the 3M rep made noise about this supposed advantage it's another case of pure nonsense.
  6. When we measure your home you'll get a quotation with the exact scope of the project. No guesswork.
  7. It's likely that our quote will impress you and your bottom line.

  8. Our warranty is lifetime and transferable. The clarity of our film will surpass their prestige series.  We can prove that with a side by side comparison.

  9. Our Huper Optik ceramic films qualify for rebates (Prestige 70 does not!)

  10. We offer Low E EnerLogic Films that offer winter and summer electric cost savings.
You owe it to yourself to get a comparison quote. Facts speak volumes.
