Relentless Heat? Get Tampa Bay Huper Optik Window Film, Advanced Film Solutions

Leave a reply

Advanced Film Solutions recently completed several installations with our Huper Optik Ceramic films competing head to head against 3M prestige film.

We won.



Frankly with so many arrows in our quiver we have an unfair advantage over my former company and their numerous dealers, agents, home depot people and window genies.

Our primary challenge is to dispel the perception of superior performance based solely on logo and brand reputation by offering and demonstrating superior documented Window Film.

Brand Leaders by any objective measure of sales, market share or performance where it counts:

ON GLASS!
 
 

Certainly if anyone understands the halo effect of 3M it’s a guy like me who spent 33 years at 3M waving that logo and in particular as a former National Sales Manager of 3M Window Film.

I kind’a know that stuff don’t I??

We match the right solution for YOUR Requirements!

  • Warm soft light without the (smurf) blue shift that all prestige films suffer.
  • Optical clarity particularly when the Sun hits the glass at an angle.  The 3M prestige film has a hazy cloudy appearance that is unacceptable.(Dare to compare!

  • Huper Optik  Ceramic films will not corrode (despite the nonsense my 3M competitor offered about rusting!)
  • By the way we will happily remove any hazy cloudy 3M Film upon request at no charge (FREE!) when you upgrade to Huper Optik!

AND HOW ‘BOUT THEM HIGH ELECTRIC AC BILLS

Window Film Sure Seems Like The Best Answer but . . .
 

DOES IT REALLY WORK?   (And will it last?)

 Advanced Film Solutions loves that question because window film suffers from an incredibly poor image.

 

This began when window film companies first created solar films back in the 1960’s.

Those were the days of dyed films that rapidly turned colors (mostly purple)

The adhesives failed turning hazy, yellow and bubbling.

Today Advanced Film Solutions installs NFRC CERTIFIED nano-ceramic window films and completely metallic sputtered films that last for decades and never turn colors, bubble or de-laminate.

VISTA Film blocks 80% of the heat and that drops your AC costs down an incredible 30% per month during our hot months.

How much was your AC bill last June and July?
 
Does it work?

The security fragment retention physical security criteria was developed in the aftermath of terrorist attacks including the Oklahoma City bombing and embassy bombings around the world.

The Federal guidelines are typically referred to as GSA blast criteria and subsequently testing done for the Department of Defense.

The following window film choices and brands have met and exceeded these requirements. There is no additional test of strength by the Federal government and any implied superiority by any manufacturer is strictly a sale pitch rather than a safety advantage.

LLumar Film (dozens of choices in clear, privacy silver and neutral films that offer energy savings.

Vista Film: Dual reflective aesthetically pleasing films that lower energy costs and are less reflective for evening vision.

Hanita Safety Zone Films. They are manufactured in Israel and have extensive blast and intrusion safety experience.

Madico: Also available in tinted energy savings versions along with their dual reflective Sunscape Film

SunTek: These economically priced alternatives include solar versions and clear safety security films.

Attachment systems:

The independent testing typically involved the use of an attachment system.

The most economical and effective from a safety and cost perspective are the wet glazed systems and in particular the use of Dow Corning 995 structural silicon.

There are nuances between these choices  that are totally based on appearance and energy efficiency. That  decision can be made based on the objectives you are trying to achieve outside of the security benefit.
