The advances in thin film technology incorporated into the design of today’s window film solutions will really amaze our clients.

As the region’s leading provider of professional window film installations Advanced Film Solutions has developed the widest and deepest portfolio of films in the entire state of Florida.

We begin with  Eastman Chemical’s Films, the world leader in retrofit window film sales and technology.

Leading brands like Vista, LLumar and Huper Optik have taken the industry by storm.

These solutions solve an array of homeowner problems; the direct result of the inefficiency of the average home or office window to control temperatures, glare, UV and ever increasing cooling and heating costs.

Durability and performance are key attributes of these products.

The solution has to last a lifetime and our clients have to be confident that the film will not peel, bubble, discolor or haze.

The advantage starts with optically clear adhesives and clear polyester films.

Our lifetime warranty (transferable for Vista!) is a written assurance that you’ve selected the very best solution.

 

Before you think about replacing your windows you owe it to yourself to consider the window film alternative!

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.

 

We were able to easily demonstrate the better performance (heat rejection as well as safety) compared to the 3M Night Vision thinner security films.

One of the best things that has ever happened for the window film business has been the increased credibility of our film solutions by the National Fenestration Ratings Council.

You have seen their stickers before on new windows.

Documented performance of the energy efficiency of a particular window compared to another manufacturer’s.

The window film industry has been provided a path toward receiving Energy Star status. 

The logical first steps were to independently test and document a film’s performance of standard retrofit glass configurations. 

The first company to complete the process was Eastman Chemical Performance Films with our Vista and LLumar brands.

They were followed by Southwall (Huper Optik and V-Kool)  Later Madico, Solar Gard, Johnson and my alma mater 3M.

Leaving aside the minutia that might make your eyes glaze over (pun intended!)  How does all this mumbo jumbo help the consumer?

 

The true measure of a window films efficiency is the solar heat gain eliminated by the window film.

So despite the baloney by 3M that their prestige film works better at an angle compared to other films, or their fable that they created a special test to prove this.

The truth is that there simply is no such criteria or factual basis behind their claim of uniqueness.

Advanced Film Solutions offers NFRC documented window films by the industry leaders.

 

Straight facts. No Bull.

Daylight Window Film, Advanced Film Solutions, Tampa Glass Tinting

Daylighting is the practice of placing windows or other transparent media and reflective surfaces so that, during the day, natural light provides effective interior illumination.

 

Daylight, technically a byproduct of sunlight and its attendant invisible-spectrum IR radiation dispersing in the atmosphere, is a nearly perfect light.

It is free, and we see very well under it.

In moderation it has positive health benefits associated with vitamins,  enhanced performance, and elevated mood, producing 16 percent or better test score increases and general feelings of well-being in schools (as one example).

It does have a few issues, however:

It is associated with heat, specifically the heat produced by the continuous nuclear reaction comprising the sun.  It is on all the time, but because the planet rotates you can’t see it all the time.

Also, the ultraviolet radiation in sunlight causes toxins from the materials in your house to out gas at an alarming rate, and generally degrades them, so the sun ruins your carpet (one of the worst airborne pollutant sources) and you get indoor air quality problems.

Glare is also a critical downside of allowing in copious amounts of daylighting.  Plasma TV screens, computers and comfort are all issue our clients are facing.

Our solutions?

Low or non-reflective Nano-ceramic window films allow in more natural light than standard dark reflective films while they simultaneously reject nearly 100% of the UV as well as rejecting more IR heat.

Light transmission films in the 30%-50% light transmissions with total solar heat rejection of 60%.

  • Glare is reduced by 30-70%
  • UV eliminated
  • Temperatures are reduced.
  • Windows are protected 24/7 with 8 ML thick shatter films.
  • Electric costs are reduced

.

  • Since these films are non reflective they meet all Deed Restrictions!
  • Homeowners use less interior lighting further lowering electric costs!
  • IR is reduced- so it feels even cooler which provides greater comfort.
