As we head into the long “dog days” of Florida’s summer the question on  homeowner’s minds is just how are you going to keep your home or condo cooler?

Blinds and shutters won’t do the trick.

They look good and provide privacy and decoration but the heat keeps coming through your windows.

The best alternative is window film!

Advanced Film Solutions is Florida’s window film leader.

We apply transparent coatings to the interior side of your windows.

These coatings are available in a wide range of light transmissions and aesthetic styles.

Reflective film:

Long a staple of the solar control world, reflective films are durable and extremely effective.

These films stop heat at the glass.

They provide daytime privacy and in thicker versions they strengthen your home’s safety and security.

Today’s reflective coatings have far less internal reflectivity so night and day views are protected.

Warranted for a lifetime solar reflective films are economically priced and lower monthly AC costs by 30% a month.

Non reflective IR ceramic films:

Ideal for gated communities and deed restricted homes and condos; Advanced Film Solutions recommends the incredible patented ceramic films manufactured in Germany by Huper Optik.

Less reflective than glass Huper Optik is warranted for a lifetime and there are no metals or dyes.

There is also a wide range of light transmissions to choose the perfect match for your specific preference.

These films work!

Head To Head Compare 3M Window Film Vs. Eastman Window Tinting

Leave a reply

With summer quickly approaching many Florida home and business owners are facing a very long hot expensive time to come.

Tropical Florida means unrelenting heat that enters through your clear glass windows and sliders.

Heat gain makes some rooms unlivable and drives your monthly electric bill to unbelievably high amounts.

Window Film has been documented to provide the fastest ROI of any home improvement project.

Window Film is a practical and affordable solution with a lifetime warranty against bubbling, adhesive failures or color change.

Once a decision has been made to explore the various window film alternatives the choice might come down to a comparison between the two giants in the window film industry Eastman Chemical Vs. 3M.

No other company has the first hand basis of comparison as Advanced Film Solutions. After all we wre employed by 3M for 33 years and prior to founding Advanced Film Solutions our director was formerly the National sales Manager of 3M Window Film.

For the last thirteen years we have been Florida’s fastest growing window film company representing the Eastman portfolio and their Vista Film, Huper Optik Ceramic Film, SunTek solar and safety films and their marketing leading LLumar brands.

builfing

Advanced Film Solutions is fully insured and we have earned the Super Service Award from Angie’s List for 8 consecutive years. Additionally we are rated A by the Better Business Bureau.

3M resells their window film through a myriad of agents and dealers including Home Depot, Window Genie, various Budget Blinds and Window Film Depot and some dealers throughout Florida.

3M has a limited portfolio of films in solar and solar security alternatives. Their NFRC rated films are listed here: NFRC

Eastman Chemical is the world leader in window film and you’ll discover 20X the number of choices, light transmissions and aesthetics under Vista, LLumar, Southwall, Huper Optik and SunTek.

Comparing Key leading choices Prestige 3M Vs. Huper Optik, Vista EnerLogic.

  • Both Eastman and 3M have lifetime warranty. The Eastman films Vista has a transferable lifetime warranty
  • Both corporations are listed as Most Ethical and are multi- billion dollar corporations founded more than 100 years ago.

mix

  • LLumar, Vista and SunTek security films are all 8 ML or greater. The thickness is what differentiates performance and life safety. 3M has only one 8 ml film that they resell from another company. Their 6 ML.  Ultra film is only available in a clear version that offers near zero solar energy savings benefits.
  • Our Eastman films are available in dual energy security 8 ML iterations in silver, neutral dual reflective and standard 35, 40, 50. In other words we match your requirements rather than the other way around.
  • Value: Typically the resellers of 3M film add margins and cost for reselling the 3M brand and using the 3M logo. This may increase the consumer awareness of the brand but adds no value for the consumer. Why else would 3M resell though window washers like Window genie or Home Depot?

Can’t Fight City Hall? Tint It Instead With Tampa Window Film

Leave a reply

The City Of Dunedin selected Advanced Film Solutions for our installation of LLumar Magnum 8 ML solar security window film for their City Hall Building.

The LLumar shatter film protects the facility from intrusion.  The thicker optically clear film delays, deters and denies entry while providing an invisible barrier against impact and intrusion.
 

They selected a lightly tinted 50% version that reduces glare and provides a modest energy saving benefit while eliminating 99.9% of the UV.

The dual benefit of energy cost reduction combined with the increased security made this a perfect choice!

Advanced Film Solutions is the leader in window film solutions in Tampa, Clearwater, St. Pete, Lakeland and Orlando and Sarasota-Bradenton.
 


We have completed 19,000 projects since we launched our company in early 2007.

Experience, wider variety of selections and unparalleled customer satisfaction is our commitment to our clients.

So you may not be able to fight City Hall; but there’s no doubt we could tint it!
