While we enjoy the upcoming holidays with friends and family there are bad folks out there who target homes for burglary.



Alarm systems alert monitoring stations and law enforcement but frequently the response time enables thieves to grab valuables and exit long before they arrive.

The weakest link in your home security is your windows and sliders.  Glass; particularly tempered glass sliders shatters easily.

Slow Down The Bad Guys

Florida Commercial Window Film

Compare Tampa Window Tinting Eastman Vs. 3M Window Film

Leave a reply

Advanced Film Solutions is Tampa Bay’s leading installation company for high performance solar and solar security window film in the Tampa Bay, Bradenton-Sarasota and Orlando area.

ttc

Our flawless installations have earned our team the Super Service Award from Angie’s List for 10 consecutive years and an A Plus rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Our experience having been with 3M for 33 years and followed by 17 years as an independent, family owned business is unmatched by any local competition.

Our experience supports the fact that we represent the Eastman Chemical window film portfolio.

We compete directly with our former company (3M) and it’s the direct film to film comparison that wins the day for Advanced Film Solutions and Eastman.

Vista & LLumar versus 3M reflective and dual reflective films.

The Eastman portfolio begins with the LLumar brand of films.

These are the best selling solutions in the USA. All LLumar films are NFRC rated and the dual reflective series is available in wider ranges than the limited 3M Night Vision or the 3M re-boxed Affinity films.

LLumar offers bronze films (3M does not)

hy

LLumar has coatings that block 95% of the visible light while 3M does not.

LLumar has 8M security films in clear, and solar versions while 3M is very limited in light transmission of the film they actually make or the films they repackage and sell under their name.

12399578704_63b7c7bc9a_z

The Vista line exceeds any 3M solution in the security or solar spectrum.

These films have a transferable warranty and are available in nearly ten times as many light transmissions and performance characteristics.  

16779293482_c8f04b1f5a_o

The Eastman Huper Optik series is ideal for deed restricted neighborhoods and condo’s where exterior reflectivity is prohibited.

These Huper Optik films qualified for TECO rebates where the 3M prestige films sold by their agents and home depot did not.

The Huper Optik films are dye free while 3M requires dyes to darken their film. Unfortunately the darkest 3M prestige film filters out 60% of the light. Huper Optik blocks more heat and glare in 4 additional darker light transmissions all less reflective than glass.

It’s not really a fair contest.

3M has a name and a perhaps a recognizable logo.

Window Tinting Comparisons, Advanced Film Solutions, Tampa Ready

Let’s assume that you are researching the Internet for the best value and highest quality window film for your Tampa Bay or Orlando home.

Here are a few basics:

The window film is applied on the interior of your windows. 
 


There are a variety of light transmission choices and various thicknesses that allow the film to hold glass in place should a burglar try to break through your glass.

1932554_726033407430133_1017206962_oEveryone you talk to purports to offer the best solution, the best product and of course, the best installation.

You are probably familiar in a cursory way to the 3M brand since you have bought Scotch Tape sometime along the way. 

Many of the other brands are new to you but you are open minded.

How do you weed through the noise and confusion to make an educated choice?

Advanced Film Solutions

Since 2007 we have installed our films in more than 32,000 homes across the Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota region.

No other company has done as many homes, offices or buildings.

If you did it; it isn’t bragging.

We are unique because we offer the leading window film brands in this industry.

We are not stuck with one manufacturer or a quota system.

We have done our homework to make it easier for you to receive the perfect match for your requirements.

We do not offer 3M Window Film.

Ironically (to me) after 33 years at 3M, they are my competition.

Matching up and offering higher value window films against 3M is our easiest challenge.
