Tangible Window Film Benefits For Florida’s Commercial Buildings

Leave a reply

The perfect storm of rising electric costs based on unstable petroleum supplies and the encouragement of the US Government for energy efficiency has reawakened interest in window film as a cost savings solution.

This has been a long time coming because the cost equation was never easily quantified with window film and the life cycle of the product would create issues during viability studies.

Further the net effect of darkening windows quite often produced increased internal lighting costs which led to a lower ROI.

Window film leaders have created leading edge window films that meet today’s Facility Manager’s requirements:

  • We no longer install dyed polyester films that would lose their color and create purple windows. Frankly you can still see purple glass on office towers throughout the USA. This is the legacy of the 1970’s when dyed tint films were the only show in town.  The Oil Embargo created the need and these films initially produced the anticipated benefits. Unfortunately as the dyes migrated so did the effectiveness of the window tinting. LLumar and VISTA Films are metallic or ceramic and the life cycle of these films can be expected for a 20 year cycle.

  • DOE II programs have effectively quantified dramatic cost savings and ROI with the installation of our window film.  There are variables, to be sure that have an impact on the rate of return. Certain films like our Reflective 20 Silver films provide huge heat gain reductions at a very cost effective investment. Less internally reflective films have an associated cost premium which would be evident with our VISTA Series dual reflective films. Ceramic and nano-ceramic films will block copious amounts of IR and Solar heat gain without reducing the visible light transmission.  These ceramic films should be considered if daylighting benefits are considered.  Sunlight is free and these spectrally selective films would balance the AC without incurring higher internal lighting costs.
  • There are tangible aesthetic improvements that can be expected with the installation of window film. Uniform building appearance increases the value of the commercial property and in today’s competitive climate tenant comfort and tenant satisfaction are enormously important as vacancy rates increase.

Government facilities and Fortune 500 corporations have recognized the bottom line and top line benefits of reduced energy usage.  The Recovery Act and LEEDS credits and city specific commercial window film rebates are driving renewed interest.

Building Managers and Commercial Property Managers can implement their own energy retrofit plan without contracting with a third party energy services company.

Advanced Film Solutions has teamed with the world leading window film solutions.

Tampa Bay Affordable Window Tinting Advanced Film Solutions

Leave a reply

The window film business in Tampa has been our obsession since the 1990’s. 

Back then I was the 3M sales rep for window film and later National Sales Manager of 3M Window Film.  In 2007 when I “retired” from 3M my goal was to launch a new concept window film installation company serving the entire Tampa Bay area.

The solutions we would offer were in every category superior in performance, appearance and investment cost to the 3M made or re-boxed films.

HO_5568-XL

We thought that we knew the obstacles that would face us as we began.  After all I had paid attention throughout the previous years and having had first hand experience with some of the most successful dealers in the USA.

My goal was to offer superior value with superior products never taking a back seat to 3M.
 

18 years later and Advanced Film Solutions has developed into one of the largest VISTA and Huper Optik Window Film installation companies in the USA.

 

 

 

 

We have earned the Super Service award from Angie’s List for 10 straight years and the Best Of Home Advisor Award and HOUZZ.

2020 Eastman LLumar Dealer of the Year for the USA

Locally our car tinting business has grown in leaps and bounds based upon the support and performance of our FormulaOne and LLumar.

The challenge throughout these last 15 years is to continue to offer solutions that meet and exceed our clients requirements.

Our strategy has been to offer the best solutions and warranty with films that are superior in every respect.

Solutions that provide maximum return on your investment by insulating your windows in the winter as well as the summer!

 
The challenge as always is to remain relevant.
 
 
To meet our clients requirements and to offer the best films and the very best brands.
 
 

We never assume a sale but rather take the time to explain the differences between the films we offer.

We win on the glass!

It’s tough enough out there without having to face monthly electric costs that can take your breath away!

 

Cooling costs during the long summer months and now rising home heating costs that have you hesitating before turning on your cooling system.


You recognize that home insulation can pay dividends in a short amount of time.

You may be considering replacing your windows with new Low E Glass as a long term solution.

Before you sign that contract- –Think about a window film retrofit for your glass.


Today’s thin film coatings are extremely effective in reducing heat gain as well as insulating your home during the colder months.

replace

Our coatings are optically clear and how dark or light you prefer your home to be is strictly up to you.In the past; window films had to be dark and reflective to factor out the heat.

Today our coatings remove invisible infrared heat so your windows can become effective heat barriers without any alteration in the appearance of your home.Our ceramic films are ideal for deed restricted, gated communities or condominiums with strict HOA rules.

While your investment pays for itself by lowering your monthly electric bill you will also enjoy:

  • The elimination of UV that contributes to faded furnishings.

  • Improved safety from flying debris or an errant golf ball.

  • Glazing strength that will delay, deny and deter home break-ins.
  • (There are thicker versions of our solar control films that offer additional impact resistance with the same solar properties as the thinner versions.)
  • Reduced glare and improved comfort.

  • The elimination of hot spots.
  • Privacy for bathroom windows or front door glass with our decorative films.
