When the temperature is in the low 80’s outside, a parked car quickly becomes unbearably hot inside within minutes, even with the windows left slightly open.

  • In just 10 minutes, the temperature inside your car can reach 102 degrees or more.
  • In just 30 minutes, the temperature inside your car can reach 120 degrees or more.
  • At 110 degrees, your pet may have just minutes to live! It will suffer heatstroke, leading to collapse, brain damage and an agonizing death!

Kids Left In Cars: DANGER!

Sarasota, Tampa Bay, Orlando Eastman Window Tinting Comparisons 3M Home Depot

Leave a reply

One of the laments we hear in the window film industry is that  homeowners only have a limited awareness about window film.

They have no idea about the multiple benefits they might enjoy with these energy savings coatings.

This has everything to do with advertising and communications.

The cost to grab consumer awareness is extremely high and the return problematic. 

Small wonder that a retail store like Home Depot would join up with our 3M window film competition to offer in home installations.

Advanced Film Solutions competes against 3M Window Film and their Home Depot agents and we are very familiar with their “pitch ” and even more familiar with their limitations.

Advanced Film Solutions provides a suite of solar and solar security window films manufactured by Eastman Chemical, the world leader in window film technology and market share.

Our winning brands include Vista Film, LLumar and non-reflective ceramic film: Huper Optik.

All of our window films are NFRC certified . This takes the sales-speak out of your decision making process.

You may have seen a sleight of hand demo at the Depot store that seemed to show a clear film blocking incredible amounts of heat.

What you didn’t know was that the heat lamp and meter are tuned to a very narrow and specific wavelength which does not represent the solar spectrum of our Sun.

In plain words- -it’s a gimmick, an illusion, a trick!

That clear prestige film has average total heat rejection in the 50%’s. That’s quite a difference from the 97% you may have been lead to believe!

And if someone told you that their film somehow works better at an angle, you should read this post.

Check their NFRC rating as well as their own website!

Advanced Film Solutions prefers to conduct business with documented performance and results.

  • Our films qualify for rebates from our local power companies. Prestige does not.
  • Our warranty is a lifetime. Many are automatically transferable!

GLARE! UV! HEAT EVERY AFTERNOON.


Not anymore.  VISTA Window Film cut their glare by 70%. 

Now their offices are cooler and UV free.

We love to compete and we have more fun competing in Sarasota and Bradenton than in most Florida towns.

Why?


Well our portfolio of high performance window films simply offers more value and features as well as documented performance than our Home Depot 3M dealers competition.

ho

It’s also been our experience that they tend to position their very weak portfolio as superior when they are more limited than any other window film brand.

We ought to know since a) we are one the 3M national sales manger of window film, and B) we have every other film solution in our bag!

We have bronze films-They don’t

We have 21st century Low E Films- They don’t

We have silver security films- – they?

Ceramic patented films while they re-box.

Non metallic films that meet rebate requirements. . .they don’t!

Starting to get the idea??

If you have received one of their estimates and are doing research on superior alternatives in terms of window film performance and cost; you have come to the right place!

Performance comparisons between 3M prestige and Advanced Film Solutions.


Heat rejection:

The 3M prestige films are non-reflective which is great for a deed restricted home or for any consumer who prefers a non metal appearance for their glass.

 
374715_280643228635822_1760476208_n

Of course our Huper Optik is also non reflective and meet all deed restrictions.

Advanced Film Solutions represents the Huper Optik Films. 

16779293482_c8f04b1f5a_o

  • These patented German engineered films are available in darker light transmissions (all non-reflective and non interfering)
  • Our Huper Optik 40, 50 and 70% are more than equal to prestige.  Huper Optik 30 stops more glare, heat and provides more protection against fade than Prestige!
  • Our 20% Ceramic Films and our 35% Drei Films meet the TECO rebate requirements. No prestige film can meet this standard.

Certainly you’d think that a Tampa consumer would want a $2.00 sq ft rebate for all east and west facing glass?

Huper Optik Films are NFRC certified as are the 3M prestige films.

This fact is critically important because that demo  previously mentioned utilizes a heat lamp that transmits a narrow wavelength of IR and a meter that reads this wavelength gives an illusion that their film blocks more heat than darker reflective films.

It’s a trick, Gimmick or you might say deceptive!

In actuality the documented solar heat gain rejection of the 3M prestige films is nowhere as impressive as that demo suggests.

Consumers have to be vigilant when conducting these comparisons which is the main reason we promote the NFRC ratings.

Additionally all window films perform better when the Sun is at an angle to the glass. Any suggestion that 3M has some advantage in this respect is equally false.

Advanced Film Solutions portfolio of superior solutions doesn’t end there.
