NFRC Rated Window Tinting Ideal For Tampa Bay Homes

Leave a reply

Advanced Film Solutions is one of the busiest window film installation companies in the USA. 

Small wonder given the tropical climate and number of sunny days we enjoy in the Bay area. As we start 2023 the heat won’t be getting any better!

 

We differentiate our window film solutions from our competition by promoting window film that has been objectively tested and rated by the NFRC.

What is the NFRC and why is this important to an educated homeowner?

VISTA NFRC
 

NFRC is a non-profit organization that administers the only uniform, independent rating and labeling system for the energy performance of windows, doors, skylights, and attachment products.

Their goal is to provide fair, accurate, and reliable energy performance ratings so that:

•  Architects, builders, code officials, contractors, homeowners,
and others can compare different products and make informed
product choices.

•  Building officials, state government employees, and others involved
in code development and enforcement can determine if products
meet local codes.

•  Government-and utility-run energy efficiency programs can establish
performance requirements and standards.

•  Manufacturers have a fair and level playing field to compare products and an accurate method of showing the energy benefits of new designs or technology.

 
Advanced Film Solutions represents these NFRC rated films:
 
  • Vista Films
  • LLumar
  • 3M Fasara
  • Huper Optik
  • Solar Gard
  • Armorcoat Films (listed under Bekaert, but now a St. Gobain company)
  • Avery-Dennison Hanita
  • SunTek
  • Madico

Consumers can make educated choices and conduct apple to apple comparisons.

Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota Window Tinting Was Not Created Equally; Why It Matters?

Leave a reply

We hear what competitors are saying to our clients.  tumblr_nbtvg5Us6c1tx21j0o1_500

There is a fascinating mixture of fiction sprinkled with fact.

A combination of hyperbole and total nonsense all offered up with a facade of seriousness.

Let’s try to separate fact from fiction.
 
 
All films are the same, so you should choose the lowest price?


Obviously this is an untrue statement and typically offered up by a hack window tint person who is buying the cheapest tint available.

It’s in their interest for you to suspend disbelief and accept that false premise.

Does that cheap steak at some hamburger grill taste the same as Ruth Chris?

getcooler If your answer is yes than go ahead and buy some no name tint for your home or car!

Advanced Film Solutions recommends the very best quality window films.

VISTA and  Huper Optik that are NFRC certified and are supported by documented performance characteristics.

Gated communities limit or restrict the use of reflective metallic window films.

For these homes we propose our Huper Optik Ceramic Non-Metallic Window Film.

Low E All Season Window Film that works in the summer as well as the winter!

How do you want your windows to look from the inside and the outside?

Obviously there are aesthetic differences between the lower quality films and the top of line VISTA and Huper Optik.

OK we understand that, but are your films that much better? Now can you match their pricing??

We carry the spectacular LLumar films and we obviously sharpen our pencils on a case by case basis therefore for the economically focused we offer the LLumar or our SunTek series.

 If you are looking for a highly efficient film and have no problems with reflectivity from an interior view, than the LLumar is a terrific solution. 

VISTA is manufactured by the same company  and was designed specifically with lower interior reflectivity.

VISTA Films are dual pane (IG) safe.  The lifetime warranty is transferable and quite frankly the VISTA Dealer has to meet a much higher level of dealer requirements than a LLumar dealer.

VISTA and LLumar are superior window films as are the ceramic Huper Optik  window film.

That’s value difference and why Advanced Film Solutions has earned our customer’s trust!
