Advanced Film Solutions clients recognize that solar control window films are a necessity rather than a luxury.

 Home cooling costs are extremely high and rate hikes from  local power companies have made that cost rise dramatically over the last several years.

During the cooler months home heating costs can curb your budget making you spend more money on electric bills than anyone would like.

Our portfolio of window films  from VISTA and Huper Optik not only curb your costs by 30% a month during the summer but they also reduce the fade damage on your precious interior furnishings and keepsakes.

Most folks are holding onto their current furnishings a bit longer than in the past. Reducing the UV by almost 100% along with the heat and light simply makes sense.


We don’t need to hype the health benefits of reducing the UVA and UVB by nearly 100%.

Consumers are unaware that their glass does NOT block UV!

Safety and Security .  So many homes have glass near the front entry door. This is the easiest way to break into a home. Our solar and security films delay, deny and deter entry.

Glare and heat. 

Heat is the enemy here in Florida and along with glare many rooms are simply unlivable. 

Our Window Films block glare and heat. From a practical viewpoint this enhancement to your home’s glass will differentiate your home from the other homes for sale in your area!



The practicality of installing these energy savings films with a much thicker (8 times) DuPont polyester mylar, multiplies the associated dual benefit of the installation. The film looks exactly the same on your windows as the thinner versions but the added strength against impact helps deny entry from burglars and improves your home protection against flying debris.

Tampa Bay Views, Advanced Film Solutions Ceramic Film

Leave a reply

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.
