Eye Strain: Tampa, Orlando, Clearwater Glare Blocking Window Film

Leave a reply
glare
 

The telephone has been ringing off the hook these last few days because of the lower angle of the Sun.

Glare is driving folks crazy!

It’s all in the angles!

 

Rooms that were comfortable last month are now baked with Sun and glare.

The lower arc of the Sun is creating difficulty for consumers for fading issues as well as the glare on their television and computers.

We have the most effective solution…

VISTA and Huper Optik films reduce glare by nearly 80%.

The choice of how dark or reflective you want the “look and feel” of your home is strictly up to you!

Our complete solar control portfolio includes the VISTA Celeste V18.  We are also installing the V28 Luminance as well as the DR 15 charcoal neutral dual reflective solar film.

On our Huper side, we are recommending our Ceramic 30 non reflective- non metal films that cut 70% of the glare without adding reflectivity.

These glare and UV reducing films are all available in wider six foot widths and all offer a lifetime warranty.

Fast ROI, Window Tinting For Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota Properties

Leave a reply

Commercial property managers have long appreciated the value of aftermarket applications of window film. 

 

Energy costs continue to increase and a large percentage of operating costs are associated with heating and cooling your facility.

Historically window film has provided an admirable job of factoring out heat gain. This reduced energy consumption, balanced your facility by eliminating hot and cold spots while factoring nearly 100% of the UV from entering the building.

Life cycle costs compared most favorably since the new technology films are durable and warranted for 15 years.

The improved tenant and employee satisfaction and the streamlines appearance of the facility from the exterior view served to enhance property value.

The one weak area was the impact solar control films had on winter heating costs as well as the reduced daylighting that a facility would receive particularly if darker light transmissions were installed on the glass.

Limiting daylighting tends to increase interior lighting requirements and frankly the reduction in solar heat during the winter had a negative impact on energy usage.

Window Film Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota Energy Smart Retrofit

Leave a reply

Facility and building management typically focus on Hvac and lighting when they design energy management plans.

 
 

Small wonder since these are notorious energy wasters and implementing upgrades has a direct bottom line benefit.


Window Film retrofits are less top of mind for a variety of reasons but the return on investment for a solar window film application provides the fastest ROI of any alternate strategy.

Life cycle benefits are also impressive as our commercial applications have a long-term life expectancy and our warranty is 15 years.

The tangible savings in monthly energy costs can be easily determined. Less well known is the increase in employee productivity based on the improved comfort of their working environment.

Our portfolio includes several lighter choices that are virtually invisible on the glass.  These films provide superior heat rejection (or insulation winter or summer) without decreasing the daylighting.


Additionally building interiors and employees enjoy a UV free workplace.

3M Prestige Vs. Huper Optik Window Tinting Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota

Leave a reply

12442770973_e269b5ef01_z

In one corner 3M Prestige Films. 

In the opposite corner Huper Optik nanoceramic films.

We will make some broad assumptions based upon our experience in the real world of window film competition where we win against 3M prestige or their home depot agents and window genie window washers every day of the week here in Florida.

  1. apples2Let’s assume that you live in an upscale home with plenty of heat streaming in through your windows.

  2. Let’s assume that you may live in a deed restricted or gated community where a reflective film is not allowed; or simply your preference is a non reflective appearance for you windows!

  3. I’ll also assume that you have been given a 3M demo or sales pitch using an IR Heat lamp, BTU meter and perhaps some sample comparisons between their prestige film and a competitive (much darker) film.

    You were shown how much more heat their prestige 70 blocks out compared to these dark reflective films. . .right?

Pretty amazing; if only it were true.

 
That heat lamp trick is a gimmick designed to fool you.

$_35
 The IR wavelengths of that lamp are in sync with that BTU meter.

I can explain how that illusion works but suffice to say think David Copperfield swallowing fire!

They didn’t show you the NFRC website where all certified films have been qualified on various window glass configurations.

They didn’t show you the actual prestige film because their sample card does not include their adhesive system.

That’s right. . kind of missed that one didn’t you?

Of course the film looks pretty darn clear on that sample card. I wonder how it will look on your glass?
