Tampa Bay Affordable Window Tinting Advanced Film Solutions

The window film business in Tampa has been our obsession since the 1990’s. 

Back then I was the 3M sales rep for window film and later National Sales Manager of 3M Window Film.  In 2007 when I “retired” from 3M my goal was to launch a new concept window film installation company serving the entire Tampa Bay area.

The solutions we would offer were in every category superior in performance, appearance and investment cost to the 3M made or re-boxed films.

We thought that we knew the obstacles that would face us as we began.  After all I had paid attention throughout the previous years and having had first hand experience with some of the most successful dealers in the USA.

My goal was to offer superior value with superior products never taking a back seat to 3M.
 

15 years later and Advanced Film Solutions has developed into one of the largest VISTA and Huper Optik Window Film installation companies in the USA.

 

 

 

 

We have earned the Super Service award from Angie’s List for 8 straight years and the Best Of Home Advisor Award and HOUZZ.

2020 Eastman LLumar Dealer of the Year for the USA

Locally our car tinting business has grown in leaps and bounds based upon the support and performance of our FormulaOne and LLumar.

The challenge throughout these last 15 years is to continue to offer solutions that meet and exceed our clients requirements.

Our strategy has been to offer the best solutions and warranty with films that are superior in every respect.

Solutions that provide maximum return on your investment by insulating your windows in the winter as well as the summer!

 
The challenge as always is to remain relevant.
 
 
To meet our clients requirements and to offer the best films and the very best brands.
 
 

We never assume a sale but rather take the time to explain the differences between the films we offer.

We win on the glass!

Advanced Film Solutions has kept pace with the large volume of installations we have scheduled throughout the Tampa-Bradenton-Orlando region.

 
It’s the heat that drives our business.
 

Hot, sweaty, humid afternoons that make your home uncomfortable and your electric bills ridiculous!

Our films block that heat.

Your home is cooler and those electric bills get cut by a third!

Our crews were busy in Bradenton completing a Huper Optik Ceramic installation in Lakewood Ranch.

The difference from what felt like a sauna to a cool, glare free environment was instantaneous when the last section was completed.

 Our client was “thrilled!”


Finally; we completed a solar security combination project at a home in Wesley Chapel using the LLumar neutral 20 8 ML shatter film.

Tampa, Orlando Gated Communities Get Cooler: Huper Optik Advanced Film Solutions

Our crew completed yet another incredible Huper Optik Ceramic Film at a beautiful home in Celebration, Fl.

This is a planned community that has created high standards for the aesthetic appearance of the homes. The deed restrictions are very tight.

Absolutely no reflective films are allowed.

The homeowner did their homework and compared the Huper Optik Ceramic films against our rivals the 3M Prestige/home depot competition.

They wisely selected Huper Optik and Advanced Film Solutions.
 

 

  • Huper Optik’s clarity is superior compared to our prestige friends.
  • Huper Optik is 100% dye free. That means the light transmission will not alter. Prestige has dyes.
  • I’ll assume that our cost was lower, but frankly we never asked!
  • 8 time winner of Angie’s List Super Service Award!

If you live in a deed restricted, gated community or simply want the best heat rejecting non metallic window film in the world call.

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

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!

Advanced Film Solutions Shatter Solar Security Tampa Bay, Orlando Window Tinting

 security-window-film-1

A local warehousing distribution company was extremely concerned with the glare they had through their higher windows. 

In particular this problem became acute during the winter months when the angle of the Sun is lower in the sky.

Employees were complaining and management was also concerned that burglars could easily break through their windows stealing valuable inventory.

They needed a dual benefit solution to tackle both problems and the best solutions was our solar security control shatter resistant window film.

 

Glare control was achieved with our installation of Silver 20 Reflective Film combined with 8 ML polyester and and our shatter resistant adhesives.

Advanced Film Solutions has several reflective film solutions that also provide shatter resistance and crime protection.

Our LLumar, Vista, Armorcoat, SunTek, Hanita, Madico Films are available in an 8ML or thicker versions.

The very first window films were silver and these highly reflective films are still a major staple of the window film industry.
