Tampa Bay Views, Advanced Film Solutions Ceramic Film

Unbearable heat and glare was their problem.

Our client required maximum heat rejection without altering their perfect view of the bay.

Advanced Film Solutions competed against several window film companies who offered a variety of solutions.

The client selected Huper Optik because of the heat and glare rejection combined with the non-reflective appearance of the ceramic films.

Slide show

Huper Optik blocked more glare and heat than the 3M Prestige 40 being promoted by 3M Home Depot. Our price was better and the clarity of our film exceeded the 3M appearance.

The fact that Huper Optik is dye free was another winning advantage over Prestige. This ensures that the clarity and appearance of the film will be maintained for years to come.

The Home Depot/ 3M reseller indicated that their film blocked 97% of the heat.

Obviously this is an inaccurate claim. Both Huper Optik and 3M block visible light which represents 50% of the total solar energy.

Both Huper Optik and Prestige block IR heat across the invisible near and far infrared wavelengths. It’s the combination of these heat filtering aspects that are an accurate description of a window film’s efficacy.

Daylight Window Film, Advanced Film Solutions, Tampa Glass Tinting

Daylighting is the practice of placing windows or other transparent media and reflective surfaces so that, during the day, natural light provides effective interior illumination.

 

Daylight, technically a byproduct of sunlight and its attendant invisible-spectrum IR radiation dispersing in the atmosphere, is a nearly perfect light.

It is free, and we see very well under it.

In moderation it has positive health benefits associated with vitamins,  enhanced performance, and elevated mood, producing 16 percent or better test score increases and general feelings of well-being in schools (as one example).

It does have a few issues, however:

It is associated with heat, specifically the heat produced by the continuous nuclear reaction comprising the sun.  It is on all the time, but because the planet rotates you can’t see it all the time.

Also, the ultraviolet radiation in sunlight causes toxins from the materials in your house to out gas at an alarming rate, and generally degrades them, so the sun ruins your carpet (one of the worst airborne pollutant sources) and you get indoor air quality problems.

Glare is also a critical downside of allowing in copious amounts of daylighting.  Plasma TV screens, computers and comfort are all issue our clients are facing.

Our solutions?

Low or non-reflective Nano-ceramic window films allow in more natural light than standard dark reflective films while they simultaneously reject nearly 100% of the UV as well as rejecting more IR heat.

Light transmission films in the 30%-50% light transmissions with total solar heat rejection of 60%.

  • Glare is reduced by 30-70%
  • UV eliminated
  • Temperatures are reduced.
  • Windows are protected 24/7 with 8 ML thick shatter films.
  • Electric costs are reduced

.

  • Since these films are non reflective they meet all Deed Restrictions!
  • Homeowners use less interior lighting further lowering electric costs!
  • IR is reduced- so it feels even cooler which provides greater comfort.

Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota’s Gated Community Window Film Comparisons

Gated communities throughout the region have restrictions that prohibit the use of reflective window film.

The issue is the appearance of the windows and typically a reflective film will alter that appearance and while these coatings are extremely effective and economically priced the demand for a non reflective film became acute.

Advanced Film Solutions is Florida’s leading window film installation company. We represent the world leaders in window film sales and technology.

These coatings include Eastman Chemical, Saint-Gobain, Madico and Avery-Dennison.

Leading the way for deed approved coatings is the incredible Huper Optik films.

These patented multi-layered films block visible light without the use of dyes. Dyes can fade over time and change color.

Huper Optik nanoceramic films filter out IR invisible wavelengths from the Sun.

In combination these ceramic and spectrally selective films offer the best heat to light ratio of any window film.
