Advice For Selecting Your Window Tinting Installation Company & Brands

2010-03-10T15:54:00Z

Today's consumer faces enormous challenges and opportunities given the number of conflicting alternatives out there in the window tinting, window film marketplace.

Sometimes these selections blur and might tend to confuse the average client.

Here's some insider advice for you to consider in determining the dealer and the brand that meets your requirements.

DIY:

Unless you are extremely handy or have window film installation experience; doing the installation yourself is problematic at best.

The films sold in big box houses like Home Depot and Lowes tend to be lesser quality that the professional grade films used by window film installation professionals.

After all your home is likely your largest investment. Your windows are essential to maintain ambiance and home value. No one wants dyed purple films or bubbles that will block your view or devalue that investment.

Professional window film dealers should be insured and members of their local Better Business Bureau.

Certainly a window film business should have a business license and be able to furnish the proper credentials to enter your home.

These stipulations are important when choosing your installation professional if only to differentiate the moonlighter from the pro. What is important is your lifetime warranty from the dealer as well as the written guarantee from the film manufacturer.

Brands:

We represent the leading window film brands in the industry.

These suppliers represent more that 90% of the residential and commercial window film sold in the USA. Most of these manufacturers have had their films independently tested by labs as part of the NFRC.

Warranty:

Most window film manufacturers offer a lifetime residential warranty. Several offer extended transferable warranty typically for their premium film lines. Commercial warranties vary depending upon the film selected but generally this warranty is for 10-15 years.

The SMALL BUSINESS ADVANTAGE:

Speaking on behalf of window film dealers across the USA we are typically family owned businesses with deep roots in your local community. We have a passion for excellence and we take pride in our business and body of work.

Personally I strongly believe in identifying the brand of film and the manufacturer.

That may come from my 33 year background at 3M. The brand lets you know what you are investing in and the specific performance characteristics of that film. Comparing apples to apples like the NFRC ratings takes the mystery out of the buying process.

There are vast differences between these films.

Some are tremendous energy savers using highly reflective films using stable alloys. Several films are far less reflective from an interior perspective so your night views are protected.

There are certainly consumers who prefer non-reflective films and this is when we would propose nano-ceramic films like VISTA and Huper Optik and Geoshield.

Ceramic films provide superior heat rejection by factoring out larger percentages of the invisible IR* wavelength. Consumers need to be alert to the fact that visible light and IR are both elements in the total solar energy rejected.

* We have previously taken issue (as have the industry -IWFA) concerning misleading statements by 3M concerning the % of IR rejected. Claims that 97% is rejected are based upon an extremely narrow wavelength between 900 and 1000 NM. This is a vast difference compared to the visible and the balance of the IR wavelengths.

Summary:

As always: "Caveat Emptor- Buyer Beware!"

We founded our company on meeting and exceeding expectations and in earning word of mouth referrals.

Sun Control Window Tinting Covering Lakewood Ranch & Florida

2010-03-10T10:50:00Z

Advanced Film Solutions sales teams were cruising our home region today.

We had the benefit of another bright, sunny Florida day. The glare, the oppressive heat right around the corner.

Home 1- Orlando

They get hot with intense glare all morning and afternoon. They are entitled to Progress Energy rebates and our VISTA 28 hit the mark.

Home 2- Wesley Chapel

They get hit with the afternoon Sun and wanted maximum visibility and their deed restrictions prohibit any metallic shiny film appearance. The answer? Huper 30 ceramic. This time we beat a local car tinter/ moonlighter guy who told the client a metal shiny film wans't that shiny! Don't believe your eyes?? We win!

Home 3- Bradenton- Lakewood Ranch

Safety and security and a modest amount of heat rejection without a shiny appearance. The end result? We win with Madico DG 45 in their 8 ML safety and security version. Let me add our confidence in the beauty of the Madico residential and commercial window films. I have to point this out because we tend to limit our praise of these fine window films but from an optical clarity and "aesthetic" look on the glass these Madico films are outstanding!

Home 4- New Port Richey

Our client wanted a darker reflective films to block heat, glare and providfe daytime privacy. She selected our economical LLumar 20 neutral film.

Just Another Sunny Day In Tampa For Window Tinting

2010-03-10T10:07:00Z

I arrived at their Land O' Lakes duplex this afternoon right on time.

I have a thing about being late; probably because my Mother would drum timeliness into our heads when we were little kids.

The 3M guy was supposed to have been there an hour ago and gone by now. His car was in their driveway. An hour???

I waited a few minutes but rang their door bell right on time. I acted like I hadn't noticed the 3M guys car at all.

I waited patiently for his exit. I didn’t say a word.

I never asked them what he proposed as a matter of general principle. It didn't matter.

I can't lose since I am so darn cute!

I measured the glass and “consulted” with my prospect all along with that smile on my face. Unless this couple were G-d parents to this 3M guy; I knew I couldn’t lose.

I didn’t.

We install Thursday at 9 AM.

Just another sunny day in Tampa.

Advanced Film Solutions has been steadily building upon our installation track record since we launched our efforts for Central Florida back in 2007.

Our 3M competition based in home depot stores has consistently estimated high costs for their window film installations.

This has raised the bar for ROI as consumers require a superior performing window film selection, documented performance (NFRC) and prices Orlando area residents can justify!

Tampa Store Owners Cut Demand & Electric Bills With Window Tinting

2010-03-08T17:24:00Z

Small business owners throughout the greater Tampa Bay area are all painfully aware of their rising electric costs either from TECO or Progress Energy.

Window Films are a logical choice based upon the immediate reduction in cooling costs and the associated benefits of customer comfort, reduced glare and UV as well as smash and grab security features of our thicker films.

Retail stores and restaurants tend to require films that allow visibility into the interior of the store. We offer an extensive portfolio of non-reflective ceramic films from the leaders in window film technology; VISTA Films and Huper Optik.

Smaller offices that get baked with southern, eastern or western exposure might prefer the darker reflective series of films that eliminate nearly 80% of the heat and glare.

Whichever your choice you'll be rewarded with window film rebates from our local power companies!

Tampa Vista Window Film Goes Up & Your Electric Bill Goes Down

2010-03-07T19:14:00Z

It's true.

Vista Window Film is the leading solution for rising electric costs, glare and UV protection.

Advanced Film Solutions has completed more than 3300 window film installations in the last three years.

Yes the economy has been down and people are holding tighter to their wallets; but from a practical perspective window film is one of the fastest returns on your investment and the versatility of the solutions might astonish you!

We know that many consumers have a negative opinion concerning the window films of the past.

Who hasn't seen purple, bubbly film on a neighbors home or a local retail shop?

This is the legacy of years of car tinters doing home and commercial installation with dyed garbage tints.

There are also competitive films that have a history of hazy adhesives and distortion. Vista Films have incomparable clarity and are guaranteed to never haze or shimmer like our home depot friends.

Vista Film is a completely different technology. These duPont polyesters are optically clear and your views are never compromised. Nearly 100% UV reduction protects your furnishings and precious paintings and carpets.

You have a choice of light transmissions that will block the glare and cool your home. Invisible beauty that maintains the beauty of your home.

We offer free estimates and unlike the hype you may see at home depot our films are warranted for a lifetime and then some.

VISTA Films are also available in thicker safety and security versions. These films offer superior adhesion and although they look exactly the same as their thinner versions the ability to hold the glass in place during hurricane winds and against criminal intrusion are well documented.

Six Degrees Of Window Tinting Separation

2010-03-06T20:41:00Z

Window Film's SIX Degrees Of Separation:

We have heard the story that all of us are connected by 6 people. .right?

Well the window film industry is a much tighter link.

Many dealers (independent businesses) purchase window films from numerous manufacturer's and distributors.

Many of the distributors had previously handled competitive brands and of course the personnel move from one company to another throughout the years.

My links are fairly extensive given my time at 3M.

Obviously I know a few 3M Window Film Dealers as well as some ex-3M Dealers throughout the USA. Clearly I might know a few VISTA, LLumar, Solar Gard, Madico, SunTek, Geoshield, Huper Optik. . .

Global, Hanita, V-Kool, Johnson. . .

At one time the competition was every company other than 3M Window Film and now my competition is everyone and 3M Window Film. . .

BUT- -I am not that unique.

When industry people meet we run through our common links and very often shared window tinting pedigree.

Names from the past and newcomers alike.

Just a few months ago I got a call from Paul Clark who was once upon a time the 3M Window Film Honcho when I got into window film.

He called me from Scotland to brag about his vacation on the golf course where golf began.

Now that was a hoot!

This is a splendid business with fascinating people and incredibly humorous experiences. Friendships are forged that last a lifetime and today's opponents can become your allies in days!

Really. .where else could I still have this much fun?

Mike

Reduce Your Tampa Electric Bill With Window Tinting

2010-03-06T18:55:00Z

How many times have you heard a sales person tell you that buying their product will pay for itself in ____ months/years??

How many times did that prove to be accurate?

Well before I take you down that path again let's talk credibility!

Advanced Film Solutions installs lifetime warranted energy reducing window films that prevent the heat from entering your home.

How much of the solar energy is getting blocked is a balancing act between performance and aesthetics.

Reflective films like our LLumar and Solar Gard silver and reflective dark neutral films block nearly 80% of the solar energy.

These films offer privacy during the day and as dark as they are they virtually block 85% of the glare and provide maximum protection against fading.

Perhaps these films are too shiny for your taste or the interior reflectivity of these films ruin your night views?

That's where Vista Films and our Ceramic Huper Optik and Lumenesse Films come into play.

These are non metallic non reflective films that block higher percentages of IR and that allows us to install lighter transmitting films that offer dynamic reductions in solar heat.

Here's how these films REALLY pay for themselves:

Our local power company TECO and Progress Energy offer $1.00 rebates (for many of our darker films but generally a film that blocks more than 60% of the visible light or darker!)

You will qualify for Federal Tax Credits at a triple rate in 2010.

AND. .

Depending upon the film you select (based on the NFRC performance, quantified and confirmed, you can make that educated choice.

It's not only those folks who went with a car tinter who installed a dyed garbage film on their home that bubbled or quickly turned purple.

There are numerous homes suffering from hazy adhesives and distortion in their window film installation.

Our number one competitor has a history of film installations that present an off angle haze.

2010-03-04T10:37:00Z

We have been truly excited by the reception of consumers throughout Florida and the USA for the innovative nano-ceramic Lumenesse Films by Geoshield.

Because you earned that view!

Why Lumenesse Films?

Lumenesse Brochure

These nano-ceramic films are clear (70% plus VLT) and will not alter your home's aesthetics. This is very important to homeowners who live in a deed restricted gated community or simply prefer no alteration in the amount of light entering their home.
These Lumenesse Films meet the missile tests that 3M Prestige Ultra can not, and does not meet. If you are looking for the key differentiation for safety and security that salient fact would outweigh all the others that support a Lumenesse installation, hands down.
The optical clarity of these films is superior. Your views are crystal clear and there is no haze or rainbow effect that is demonstrated by prestige.
The Total Solar Energy Rejection is 55% which is outstanding for a light film like Lumenesse. This is an accurate rating and Lumenesse does not make undocumented and unsupportable claims about angles of incidence or hyperbole about rejecting 97% of heat, the Sun's energy or any other real or potentially misleading statements.

Advanced Film Solutions- Solar Control and Window Display Advertising Using Digital Graphics

2010-03-03T18:05:00Z

This shot of our front store display is an example of 3M Digital Graphics. The film image is visible only from the exterior of the storefront. The image is invisible from the interior.

Avery Graphics also manufactures perforated films and many design people prefer this brand.

This is accomplished by using 3M Perforated Vinyl Films and printing the colors on the white microdots . The end result is an outstanding image and modest sun control. We enhanced the sun control and solar properties of the perforated films by installing VISTA MIRAGE V-38 Safety and Security , 8 ML Window Film.

The process begins with the creation of high resolution digital images like your logo or corporate images. Advertising and brand advertising utilizing your available window space. This is perfect for retail stores, chain stores and new car dealerships.

The process begins by creating digital images in a high resolution format that are readily available. Similar to using any printer the system and software takes care of the rest. Installation of these films is done from the exterior of the store or building. Advanced Film Solutions can assist you in creating your images and obviously, we can install these vinyls on your storefront.

Advanced Film Solutions AFS Profile offers these unique solutions for retail stores that wish to leverage their brand identity, or simply create an exciting image that gets them noticed. The in-store visibility allows the store personnel to see out. The majority of displays and signs that retailers use today blocks the light completely. Digital imaging on perforated films is a "cool" way to get your message out!

Orlando Window Tinting With A Difference

2010-03-03T11:26:00Z

Orlando is much more than THE MOUSE or Universal Studios.

Central Florida is a dynamic hub of commerce and technology. Our neighbors expect the best and given our exceedingly long and hot Summers we are keen on energy cost savings and improved comfort.

How much did you spend last Summer on your electric bill?

Advanced Film Solutions has designed our window film solutions portfolio to meet our client's expectations with fact based performance and NFRC certified benefits. These savings in cooling costs are rewarded with energy rebates from Progress Energy and OCU and Triple Tax Credits in 2010.

We understand our competition(3M Window Film) having spent a fair amount of time (33 years) with that company.

It's this film to film comparison against 3M window film and their home depot agents that we particularly look forward to.

Advanced Film Solutions represents VISTA Films, Huper Optik, Madico Sunscape Select, Geoshield, SunTek LLumar and Armorcoat.

Different strokes for different folks. .

We will be exhibiting at the Central Florida Home and Garden Show (March 18-21, 2010) at the Orange County Convention Center

Our NFRC Certified Films that meet all deed restrictions
We offer privacy reflective films as well as non reflective ceramic films
Our solar security combination films pass the ASTM1886C testing where the 3M solar combination films do not.
Our film solutions meet Federal tax requirements (DOE standards apply)
Rebates are available through local utilities
Our Huper Optik ceramic Films are available in wider widths so we never seam a window

We are also experts in explaining and demonstrating the true performance of these films and the aesthetic nuances between the best selling brands.

Our installations are professionally completed and our warranty is lifetime and in our VISTA portfolio that warranty is automatically transferable to the next homeowner.

Going green?

Our installed film performance, or more accurately what you can really expect to save on that electric bill, is documented by the NFRC.

This helps to limit any of the baffling nonsense we continue to hear from prospective clients when they get competitive quotes!

97% IR Rejection - Nope!
97% Heat Rejection- Nope!
Clear Films that block all the heat?- Nope
Works better at angles so a new test was created? (I have some swamp land to sell you if you believe that one!)

On the other hand many of our clients tried to do their window tinting all by themselves.

One squeegee and an instruction pamphlet??

Window Film may not be brain surgery but it really does require talented installers with plenty of real world experience.

These films are meant to last a lifetime and no one wants bubbles, lines or peeling off adhesives!!

We have spent a good deal of time fixing some of these disasters!

Advanced Film Solutions will assist you in finding the perfect window film solution!

Orlando's Window Tinting Leader Advanced Film Exhibiting @ Central Florida Home Show

2010-03-01T21:49:00Z

Mark down your calendar for March 18-21, 2010 at the Orange County Convention Center for the Central Florida Home And Garden Show.

Advanced Film Solutions will once again take on our 3M Window Film friends at Engineered Sun (these are the Home Depot dealer agents) and match our superior performing Vista Films toe to toe!

We are also exhibiting our nanoceramic Huper Optik Films against their prestige films. These are our non-metallic nanoceramic films designed to block IR heat and meet all deed restrictions concerning exterior reflective appearance.

(Certainly we also offer a complete portfolio of Sunscape and Solar Gard films with Geoshield Lumenesse films for our lightest solar and security combination films.)

We were very enthused with our reception at the Fall event and immediately signed up to do this spring show here in Orlando!

Directions

Central Florida has many gated communities and homes with high ceilings and plenty of glass openings. our films reduce the cooling costs in your home by as much as 50% and that had a direct impact on your monthly bill from our local power company!

We have better ways to stay cool this Summer!

Tax incentives also apply throughout 2010!

Stop and visit our VISTA booth and compare our superior performance, quality and optical clarity against our home depot 3M prestige competitors.

Compare our ROI and our automatically transferable lifetime warranty.

Finally compare the documented and certified performance of our NFRC certified films versus their prestige films. Remember if anyone tells you they block 97% of the heat in a clear film you might want to confirm that number against the factual numbers on the National Fenestration Ratings Council website (it won't be 97% I can assure you- -nor will the NFRC confirm misleading nonsense about working their film working better at an angle- -let alone that they invented a new test!)

REALLY???

Stop by our Booth and sign up for a free estimate in credible solutions!

Tampa's Car Tinting Buzz: Get FormulaOne Film

2010-03-01T14:54:00Z

Our FormulaOne car tinting installations along with Paint Protection specialty films have been rapidly growing at a record pace in 2010.

Perhaps that's because consumers are holding on to their vehicles longer and want the very best solar protection?

Perhaps it's because we are one of the few companies in Tampa that use high speed software and plotters to download the perfect template for your specific vehicle.

Then again. .

It may just be that Tampa drivers are sick of cheap tints that turn purple or fade and bubble!

Our FormulaOne Films match every budget from the economically priced Classic Series right to the Pinnacle Ceramic Films.

Pinnacle Films wont interfere with Bluetooth signals or GPS and Premium Satellite Radio signals. Check your owners manual but many og the newer models have their antenna in the rear window grill. Metal films will block these signals and degrade your reception.

FormulaOne Films are warranted for a lifetime of enjoyment and our unique "NO FAULT" warranty gives you peace of mind and added value to your window film investment.

Window Film USA- Spring Into Action

2010-03-01T10:21:00Z

Bad weather across the USA has been the recent experience for many of us; but we know as march "comes in like a Lion" what is coming!

It's a matter of weeks before we start turning on thos Air conditioners.

Window Film that's matched for YOUR REQUIREMENTS!

2010 government tax incentives and window film rebates make this spring the most affordable time to consider a window film solution.

Clearly there is confusion concerning which film meets a consumers requirements.

Just yesterday a gent in Dayton Ohio told me he thought that based upon this blog; we leaned toward VISTA Films compared to some of our other brands.

I mentioned that this was only the case because of their variety of films and performance of their films.

There are objectively many situations where a Solar Gard, LLumar or Madico film might better suit a consumers requirement. In terms of a non metallic film; the Huper Optik and Geoshield Ceramic might be the better fit.

Windowfilmusa.com is based upon the premise that a customized solution is based on matching the right film for YOUR SITUATION!

This becomes a competitive advantage for Windowfilmusa.com because we are NOT leaning toward one specific film trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
