Some say they see our old tinter at work when the clock chimes twelve on Halloween.
Today’s window film solutions provides the fastest ROI of any retrofit project that might be initiated to lower energy costs.
Advanced Film Solutions has completed 50,000 home and commercial installations since we left 3M Window Film in 2007.Our focus has been in assisting home owners and business decision makers lower their cooling and heating costs without reducing the aesthetics of their glass or limiting the optical clarity of their windows.

We completed a larger project at NC State University Hill library where the sustainable solution was our Eastman Chemical manufactured Huper Optik film.
These durable coatings reduce heat gain without adding any reflectivity to the interior or exterior view.
The goal was to provide nearly total UV reduction, lower heat gain by 70% and eliminate hot spots that can increase demand particularly during the hotter summer months.
Glare has been reduced by an impressive 70% and that serves to make the interior building quality much more productive for students and staff.
Our team of installers met the clients’ targeted goals for completion and the University is enthusiast in their appreciation for the professional implementation of this energy savings film.
The success of window film systems to improve comfort and reduce energy demand and the fact that these NFRC certified films will continue to provide these benefits long into the future are raising the profile of window film as a solution across the USA.
Living in a beachfront or waterfront condo in Pinellas County offers breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico, vibrant sunsets, and an enviable coastal lifestyle. However, those expansive glass windows and sliding glass doors—the very features that define luxury coastal living—also welcome intense solar heat, blinding glare, high utility bills, and fading interiors.
Across St. Petersburg, Clearwater Beach, Madeira Beach, Tierra Verde, Dunedin, and Belleair, condo owners consistently choose Advanced Film Solutions to enhance their indoor comfort and safeguard their investments. Here is a look at why Advanced Film Solutions is the trusted choice for Pinellas County condo owners.
The solution that meets all deed restrictions is the innovative multilayered optical film manufactured by 3M. The 3M Prestige and 3M Prestige Ultra solar security window film.
Pinellas County experiences powerful solar radiation year-round. Standard window glass acts as an open doorway for heat, forcing condo air conditioning systems to run around the clock.
Advanced Film Solutions provides industry-leading spectrally selective and ceramic window films that reject up to 80% of total solar heat. By preventing solar heat from penetrating your living space, room temperatures drop instantly, cooling costs decrease significantly, and HVAC units suffer far less wear and tear.
Direct sunlight reflecting off the Gulf of Mexico creates severe interior glare, making it frustrating to view TV screens, work on laptops, or simply enjoy your living room during daylight hours.
While traditional blinds or heavy drapes solve the glare problem, they completely block your ocean views and make your home dark. Advanced Film Solutions offers non-reflective ceramic films that cut blinding glare while maintaining maximum visual clarity, allowing you to enjoy comfortable light levels and crisp, panoramic water views all day long.
Direct sunlight causes irreversible damage to hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, leather furniture, drapes, and artwork.
Advanced Film Solutions installs high-performance films that block 99.9% of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Protecting your interior furnishings from premature fading preserves the beauty and financial value of your condo’s interior upgrades.
Pinellas County coastal municipalities enforce strict regulations to protect nesting sea turtles and hatchlings during nesting season (May 1 through October 31). Indoor lights shining through beachfront glass disorient hatchlings, drawing them away from the ocean.
Local lighting codes require beach-facing glass to meet specific Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) standards (typically 45% or lower). Advanced Film Solutions offers an extensive selection of Sea Turtle Friendly compliant window films that satisfy local codes while keeping your condo energy-efficient and comfortable.
Pinellas County condo associations enforce strict architectural guidelines regarding building exteriors. Shiny, mirrored, or heavily darkened windows are frequently prohibited by HOAs because they alter the building’s uniform appearance.
Advanced Film Solutions carries non-tinted spectrally selective and neutral ceramic films (from world-class brands like Eastman LLumar, Vista, and Huper Optik) that deliver top-tier solar performance without changing the exterior aesthetic of the building. We frequently assist owners with HOA submittals and board approvals to ensure seamless compliance.
