Top 10 Ways To Find The Perfect Window Tinting For Tampa And Orlando Homes

If you live in the Tampa, Orlando or Sarasota area and your glass is clear, typically single pane; you appreciate that you have to do something to block the heat from blasting through your windows.

Your shutters don't keep that afternoon heat from entering your rooms. They look great and provide privacy, but don't make a dent in the room temperatures, UV or your rapidly escalating cooling bill!

Window Film Solutions:

Window Films provide documented performance and immediate results. The NFRC certifies their performance on a variety of common window systems.

Our local power companies recognize their efficacy by offering rebates for window films that meet the energy rejection numbers stipulated by TECO and Progress Energy.

Nevertheless, neophyte window film shoppers are frequently confused about the differences between the brands of window film available and the reasons to select one over another?

Huper Optik Ceramic Film

Here is a quick Top Ten List of critical factors in choosing the right film for your home or business:

Always select an NFRC certified window film. The specific amount of heat rejected is an important consideration. (NFRC Website)

Car tinting films are not recommended for residential or commercial applications for a variety of reasons (and they are not certified)
Make certain that the film has a lifetime warranty against changing color, bubbling, distortion and adhesive failure and peeling. Higher end films like Vista have a transferable warranty.
Make certain that the film is safe and warranted for IG units or dual pane glass (if your home has these window systems) Films like Vista and Huper Optik take over any existing window warranties.
Check the interior and exterior reflectivity of the films being proposed.

Heat rejection capability is not predicated upon the aesthetic appearance of a window film. Silver reflective films can block tremendous amounts of heat but your windows will look like mirrors. Our experience has demonstrated that competitors tend to promote one brand for every situation.

Our business strategy is entirely different. Advanced Film Solutions represents the world leading window film brands from Solutia, Bekaert, Madico, Hanita, Huper Optik, SunTek, Geoshield, Vista, EnerLogic and LLumar.
Check your deed restrictions or HOA rules governing window film reflectivity. Our non-reflective Huper Optik films provide outstanding heat rejection without changing the aesthetic appearance of your glass.
Compare light transmissions of the films being considered. Films like Vista are available in a multitude of transmissions ranging from 14%-80% light transmissions. Huper Optik ranging from 20% to 70% light transmissions.
Make certain that the window film is available in 6 foot widths so there are no seams on wider width glass. Incredibly there remain some manufacturers who can only offer a 60 inch width.
Be circumspect when a window film company tries to impress you with gimmicks like heat lamps and BTU meters that purport to simulate how effective their films are in factoring out heat.

These demo's offer illusions of effectiveness. Check the tested and documented heat rejection of the film being displayed and you will discover a huge gap between the illusion of performance versus the real world capability. (In other words; it's a trick!)
Make certain that the company doing the installation is BBB Accredited and has an A rating. Confirm that they are fully insured.
Check for references, particularly in your local area. Advanced Film Solutions has completed nearly 5,000 homes since we left 3M in 2007. We will have examples of homes in your area- -guaranteed!
