Can’t believe your eyes?
 

Your electric bill skyrockets as soon as you turn on that air conditioner.

bills Window Film has come a very long way since sun control films were originally manufactured. 

Today’s window film does not turn purple or bubble when installed by a professional company like Advanced Film Solutions.

The old days of highly reflective tin foil  looking window tinting is ancient history!

With many choices out there, how should a Tampa, Orlando, or Sarasota consumer make an educated choice?

Here are easy to remember suggestions:


Are their films Insulated Glass safe? 
 

Check with the competitor but our experience is that IG units require specially designed window films that will not create thermal stress on IG units.

The Vista series of films were designed specifically with that requirement in mind.

Our IG safe films come in darker transmissions that meet and exceed these rebate requirements.

Do they offer a non reflective solar control film that can meet your deed restrictions?

Our Vista and Huper Optik Nano-Ceramic films meet that criteria for gated communities, condo associations and all deed restrictions that place limitations on reflective films.

Does the installation company carry General Liability Insurance and have a place of business?

Many window tinters work from their home and do not carry the insurance requirements.

These folks are installing in your home and it is critical that you know the character of these folks.

We simply suggest that you check first.

 

Advanced Film Solutions is fully insured and we have no issues concerning our reputation or background checks.

Are the window films proposed certified by the NFRC?

Florida Commercial Window Film Installations

Window film retrofit applications have been demonstrated to provide immediate cost savings benefits for commercial property managers throughout Florida.

 

The retrofit application of Advanced Film Solutions Eastman Solar Film provides a quantifiable cost reduction in Hvac operating costs as well as productivity gains in employee performance.

Today’s durable coatings filter 99.9% of the UV rays from entering office windows.

This reduces fading of interior accessories and wood floors and paintings.

There are also health benefits considering skin cancer issues that will also be beneficial.

  • Uncontrolled daylight coming in through windows can cause glare, employee and visitor discomfort, warm temperatures, hot/cold spots, and HVAC systems to run excessively to try to keep up.
  • A building’s directional orientation can create areas that receive significantly more sunlight than others. Depending on the sophistication of a facility’s HVAC system, this can create challenges for maintaining comfort.

  • A major component of any building envelope is its fenestration (windows, doors, skylights, and curtainwalls). A 10% to 40 % reduction in lighting and HVAC costs can be achieved by improving the energy efficiency of fenestration of commercial buildings, according to the National Institute of Building Sciences.

  • According to the U.S. Department of Energy, windows account for 10% to 25% of heating bills, and are the greatest source of heat loss or gain in any building. That’s where our Low E  Films win the day!
  • According to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, space heating, cooling, and ventilation account for the largest amount of end-use energy consumption in buildings.
  • Using window film to control the sun’s heat allows staff to leave blinds and curtains open and enjoy outdoor views and exposures with controlled daylight. This can improve health and well being for patients, reduce exposure to harmful UV rays, and increase productivity for staff members.

  • Window film has been proven to offer significant savings on both heating and cooling costs with metered measurement and verification of cooling and heating savings.  Studies have shown that window film can provide a significant increase in useful daylight (and in staff satisfaction and comfort levels).

  • Window film is a retrofit solution for facilities professionals who want to control solar heat gain and glare, provide UV protection, and experience year-round insulating benefits.

  • No special maintenance is required for window film.
  • Window film was named the most cost-effective energy-saving choice  when used in retrofit commercial building projects.

  • Advancements in window film have led to film options that aren’t overly dark and don’t produce an iridescent shine.

  • A study of the top five energy retrofits based on ROI identified window film as one option that offers a quick return on investment.

Glare is virtually eliminated as are hot spots and the cluttered appearance your windows may present from the street view.

Energy costs savings through the summer months as well as Low E films throughout the winter months save energy costs and provide a faster ROI

Tampa Bay Window Film Vs. Window Replacement Challenge

Window Film Vs. Window Replacement Myths!

Myths:

Window film is a temporary solution for improving the energy efficiency of windows. The film doesn’t stand up to Florida’s heat and brutal sun.

Window tinting peels or bubbles or turns purple.

Replacement windows (their sales guy says!) is the best thing you can do to replace your single pane windows. Low E and IG units are clearly expensive but well worth it in the long run.

replaceFacts:

Today’s window film is manufactured for performance and durability.

Optically transparent coatings that are warranted for a lifetime and filter out 99.9% of harmful UV rays.

While damaged or deteriorating windows simply have to be replaced,  window tinting provides an affordable alternative to replacement when your goal is to improve energy efficiency. In fact, the cost for quick, professional installation is about one-tenth the cost of replacement windows!

should

These films will last for decades and they won’t peel, bubble or change colors.

Window films have been tested and documented by the NFRC so you get exactly what you are paying for.
