Let’s talk about keeping that hottest room in your home cooler. That’s where window film does the trick.

We apply a thin invisible film to the inside of your windows and sliders.

These coatings are durable and warranted for a lifetime of enjoyment. 

The question is which films have the most heat rejection?

Advanced Film Solutions is unique by offering the widest selection of films.

We use high quality coatings manufactured by Eastman Chemical.  Leading the way are the following choices:

V28

The choices listed above have a reflective exterior appearance.

The Vista and LLumar DR films are dual reflective.

This means the inside view is less reflective which assists night vision.

For a non reflective film we recommend the following choices:

Huper Optik 

These coatings are NFRC certified for performance on single pane and dual pane windows.

Huper Optik Comparison 3M Prestige Window Film Florida

Leave a reply

 

One of the more popular threads in this window film blog are posts that highlight a comparison between 21st century patented ceramic window tinting represented by Huper Optik and the 3M prestige multi-layered optical film.

Huper Optik-warm natural light
 
 

I have a unique perspective having been employed at 3M for 33 years (1974-2007) with the 3M Window Film department for several years as National Sales Manager (in those days known as Scotch Tint and Scotch shield!)


Homeowners and retail store owners want to reduce the heat coming into their windows but of equal importance, preserve the aesthetics of their windows.

They want to experience the benefits of window film without a metallic shiny glass appearance!

The choices drill down to Huper Optik versus the 3M multi-layered prestige series.

Here is a quick comparison that you may find helpful!

Points that are equal:

  • Ceramic and prestige films do not interfere with EM or RF signals- Call it a draw!
  • Huper Optik Ceramic and prestige films all reduce the UV by 99.9%- A draw!
  • All films including Huper Optik Ceramic and prestige films work better at an angle- That’s also a draw and silly even to mention, except for the fact that they brought this up as an advantage! It isn’t!
  • Yes we use Windex!
  • Huper Optik will never rust or corrode, neither will their prestige. Another draw! They bring this issue up because there are silver films that can oxidize in humid environments.This is typically never clarified by 3M, so consumers may be mislead into believing that all films corrode except theirs. This is false!

  • Our Huper Optik and are available in a 20% and 30% version. The Select series is available in a 35%. We cut more glare and heat than their Prestige 40%

  • The optical quality and clarity of Huper Optik and are unmatched by prestige film which tends to haze.
  • Our hue is neutral theirs is “blue.” You may like a blue look in your home but Interior Designers typically advise not to alter the hue of the light streaming through your windows. It can clash with your unique color scheme.
  • Huper Optik has a superior hard coat. Huper Optik does not have any dyes!

Throughout the country we have won against prestige films for the above reasons and the better cost advantages for our Huper Optik ceramic films.

Tampa Bay is known for tropical heat and blinding Sunlight.

 

We have more sunny days than Hawaii and the humidity?


Your home bakes throughout the spring and summer.

Rising electric rates coupled with the constant hum of your AC (no one in their right mind would open their windows or sliders!) has resulted in astronomically high electric bills.

Advanced Film Solutions is Tampa Bay’s leading residential window film installation company.

The majority of our installations solve these heat problems with darker reflective films.

These solutions are economical and extremely effective.

Coatings that can block nearly 85% of the heat and 99.9% of the UV.

The downside for many clients is any alteration to the light levels or appearance of their windows.

Advanced Film Solutions understands this requirement and our portfolio of films includes clear solar films that reduce heat and UV without changing the “look” of your windows.

Nanoceramic films like our incomparable Huper Optik Ceramic Films.  These coatings are less reflective than glass.

Your views are preserved day or night.

The clarity is spectacular.
