The Truth Prestige Film IR Rejection Huper Optik Vs. 3M Comparisons

Leave a reply

I’ve written about this before (as have some others!) but the 3M Prestige Film has always been interesting to me for a variety of reasons.

Let’s just say that I was once a True Believer (Yeah I wrote that!) having swallowed the RED PILL entirely. 

It was only after I left 3M that my faith was shaken by:
 
 
THE TRUTH
 
 

No Prestige did not work better at an angle compared to other window films.

No Prestige did not reject 97% of the IR

No Prestige did not reject more heat than a dark silver reflective film.

Now this may seem like an esoteric argument with little to no impact on the larger world outside of window film; but (stick with me here) there is a crucial perception and a credibility issue at stake. (Mostly my own!)

I don’t like being fibbed to (there are stronger words!) and I can’t abide losing any business to a competitor that is either intentionally or through ignorance, misrepresenting their product’s performance. 

Now as the competitor against 3M Prestige that has become much more important.

Eastman Chemical the world leader in window film (by any measurement or standard) had tackled these issues with a series of technical reports and white papers almost immediately upon the launch of Prestige and the 3M marketing and supporting literature that their dealers utilize to support their selling efforts.

As a 3M alumni (33 years) I was certainly familiar with these brands and their unique technology and innovation.

Their depth of product offering and their dedicated team of sales, marketing and technology experts are the envy of the window film industry.

Huper Optik, Eastman Window Tinting Designed For Florida’s Prestige Homes

Leave a reply

There are so many choices available in window film and varieties of performance you demand for your investment.

 

Our goal at Advanced Film Solutions is to offer window film with proven performance covering a wide range of individual requirements that match or exceed our clients expectations!

Gated Community- Deed Restrictions prohibit reflective films:
 

There are many homeowner associations that prohibit the use of reflective window films. 

This is more an aesthetics issue than a performance attribute.

The higher reflective films alter the prestige home’s “curb appeal.”

These covenants point our customer toward the nano-ceramic German Technology films manufactured by Huper Optik.


Note the natural light of this ceramic 50% window film


These new technology films do a superior job in reducing the infrared heat while reducing the visible light.

They are less reflective than glass; so the day and night time views are never compromised.



There are less publicized benefits of  non-metallic window film based upon their non conducting properties that tend to interfere with FIOS or wireless EM signals.

 

The bottom line is that your home’s aesthetics are preserved and the performance factors that reduce the heat, glare, UV and fade are both superior and quantifiable. 

Our client took our prestige challenge and immediately ruled out the 3M  blue hazy looking film and chose Advanced Film Solutions!

  • Window Films have become the “window film of choice” for Interior Designers who appreciate protecting high value furnishings from fade.

  • These films are constructed for optical clarity and zero distortion or haze. They are safe for dual pane Windows and IG Units and backed with a lifetime warranty direct from Eastman Chemical; the world’s largest window film manufacturer.
  • Vista Film and Huper Optik Ceramic Film comes in wider 6 foot widths!

  • And our Vista Window Films are also available in a thicker safety and security version (8 ML)  These Vista safety and security films perform the very same solar benefits of the thinner versions but hold the glass in place against impact force.

Tampa, Orlando Sun Room Window Tinting Lexan, Acrylic Ready

Leave a reply

Many of our neighbors have Florida sun rooms that utilize Lexan (acrylic, polycarbonate, plexiglass) windows rather than glass

Home builders at the time these homes were built, promoted these systems as a less expensive alternative to glass.

There were also building code and tax considerations that made this choice preferable to many home owners.

 polyzone
 

These rooms are terrific right about now as the temps start to decline.

In the summer months these rooms become unlivable!


There is a low cost solution that will block the heat and UV and cut the glare.

Standard window films are not recommended for polycarbonate windows. These films will fail in a short amount of time.

Advanced Film Solutions the leader in solar window film for the Tampa, Sarasota, Lakeland and Orlando area has several solutions that are designed specifically to cut heat gain through Lexan.

You’ll have a range of choices that will meet your specific heat and glare control requirements.
