Clear Winner-Ceramic Window Tinting Film Versus Multi-Layered Optical Film

Our business plan at Advanced Film Solutions wasn’t created accidentally.

We developed a strategy that would allow us to compete and win in every residential or commercial consumer competition.

Deed Restricted or gated communities, golf communities, condo’s and town houses. Gulf, bay or lake view properties. High end retail stores (jewelry, curious, furniture, rugs, clothing retail stores and financial institutions.

Homeowners are comparing our Huper Optik Ceramic Films versus the 3M Prestige Film that they have seen at home depot kiosks throughout the region.

Advanced Film Solutions is unique in having a thorough and extensive familiarity with both solutions. After all we were with 3M for 33 years and was once the National Sales Manager of 3M window film.

Here is our “Reader’s Digest” comparison:

Huper Ceramic Films are available in a 20%, 30% and 35% Visible Light Transmission that all out perform the 3M Prestige 40 in heat rejection (we qualified for the TECO energy rebates, they did not!)
Huper Optik has a natural hue as opposed to the 3M blue-ish appearance.
Huper Optik films do not present iridescence “rainbow effect” on the transmitted light. The prestige films do produce this multi-colored effect on light color walls or tile.
Huper Optik Ceramic Films have a durable color fast scratch coat. The prestige color is a virtue of a dyed layer on the top surface of their film. These colors can be scratched from the surface on all of their “tinted” versions.
Optical clarity. Our films have no distortion or haze effect. We will match any Prestige film side by side for visual clarity!
Take the Huper Challenge and compare them side-by-side. You will observe why Huper Optik is the clear winner!

Huper Ceramic Films won’t interfere with cell phones, wireless, or fiber optic EM transmissions.
Huper Optik is less reflective than glass so your day and night views are preserved.
Huper Optik ceramics do not corrode in humid environments. Prestige will not corrode. Any implication from their side that our ceramic films corrode is pure fabrication.

All ceramic films, and metal films for that matter work better when the sun is at an acute or obtuse angle. Prestige is similar in that respect, as is clear glass. Implications that their film meets some type of extraordinary testing standard is 100% disingenuous.
Huper Optik Ceramic Films are NFRC Certified for performance characteristics.

Miscellaneous:

They “invented” window film and make thousands of products.
-Response: They are a terrific company and they did not invent window film, they patented a metal application to polyester films. That was 40 years ago and lots of things have changed.
They can use Windex, we can’t?
-Response: utterly ridiculous particularly with prestige film. Take a Scotch Brite abrasive sponge to their film and watch the color come right off. Do the same with Vista or Huper! Go on. .you’ll see who has a hard coat!

Better Warranty?
-Response: Our films have a lifetime warranty as do theirs! Our is transferable to the next homeowner; theirs ends when you sell your home!
“We are 100 plus years old; and ‘they’ may not be around in the future!”
-Response: Eastman is a multi-billion dollar company borne from Eastman Kodak.

Stop Heat, Glare & Fade With Tampa Window Film Solutions

That glare and heat entering your home has driven you nutty.

That wonderful electric bill has you sneaking up to the bill when you open it each month.

You considered upgrading your single pane windows to that fancy low e glass or IG units. Have you figured out the payback period?

That is; until you saw the sticker price!!

Somehow you heard about window film but you are inclined to be highly skeptical that window film will perform and last for a lifetime.

You’ve seen the hack jobs done by your do it yourself friends who bought a cheap film from Home Depot or Lowes.

You’ve seen purple film and bubbles.

Perhaps you’ve taken the extra step and had an estimate from a competitor.

You need convincing and I had better be factual, clear and concise!

Here’s the deal:

Advanced Film Solutions was launched in early 2007 after I left 3M.

I know window film and we built our company on a solid foundation of my 33 years of experience and direct knowledge of the finer points of this window film business.

We offer Eastman’s leading brands. Vista, LLumar and the outstanding Huper Optik Ceramic Films

It might be simpler to say that we offer every NFRC certified film with one exception: 3M Window Film and their home depot, budget blinded agents and dealers.

We have totally non-reflective ceramic films that factor out infrared heat along with visible light. These films meet deed restrictions and HOA rules.

Thicker films that increase your safety and security against crime.

There are nuances in the hue of the films and there are various qualities concerning the critical function of the polyester and the adhesives being used.

No one wants a hazy film no matter how much heat it eliminates!

The more you know the better you’ll appreciate Advanced Film Solutions!

Advanced Film Solutions Window Film Protecting Tampa Bay

Our Advanced Film Solutions crews performed expert installations with an assortment of solar and solar security films.

One noteworthy installation was for a home in Hudson, FL located in Pasco County.

Our client has a large sun room that baked every afternoon since the majority of their windows face west. Their objective was to reduce the heat and glare and UV.

The open expanse of glass left them feeling like they lived in a fish bowl.

The solution was our Vista 28 Luminance Film. Glare and UV nearly eliminated and they achieved day time privacy as well.

They also selected our thicker 8 ML version to improve shatter strength and impact resistance against intrusion.

The dual benefit of a safety solar film provided peace of mind as well as a more comfortable; energy efficient home!

Advanced Film Solutions technicians completed a major project for security film on the City Hall Building at Altamonte Springs with the same Vista 8 ML film.
