“Tell Us What You Really Think!”

 
 
I used to hear that quite often when I was a 3M guy.


That’s because I was direct in my assessments of whatever topic was being addressed at that moment.   The look on my peers faces was priceless!

Frankly very few people in the Corporate World want to hear opinions of non corporate types (like their independent dealers) unless it’s an endorsement of what they have already decided to do!

Well here’s what I really think!

The best choice for deed restricted communities and condo association rules is Huper Optik Ceramic window film and Advanced Film Solutions.

 
There could only be one clear winner: Huper Optik
 
 

Huper Optik never had to pretend that their films worked better at an angle (all films do; just like glass at an angle) or distract consumers with claims about having 97% infrared rejection.

Rather Huper Optik continued to win .

Through Glass Lightly Tampa, Orlando Huper Optik Ceramic Window Film

Leave a reply

Consistently more homeowners and commercial property managers are insisting upon lighter non reflective window films versus the darker reflective metallic films of the past.

The key for any window film researcher is to determine the proper balance between  your aesthetic requirements and the bottom line heat rejection you expect!


We believe that it’s critically important to offer consumers concise comparisons between the various window film manufacturers and in particular a direct matrix comparison to the 3M window films like their prestige film and their re-boxed ceramic film. 

This matrix compares optical clarity, total solar energy rejected on the exact same type of glass (NFRC).  We compare glare rejection (our 30% Huper Optik Ceramic for example reduces glare by a significant amount compared to the 3M prestige 40 (their darkest film in the prestige series.)

It’s this winning comparison that gives Advanced Film Solutions and Window Film USA our competitive advantage.

The unequivocal leader in this category?  Huper Optik-The German Nano-ceramic Film.

Why?


 Huper Optik Ceramic film is patented (which is a major advantage for any installation company that represents this incredible window film since all the other copy cats are forced to use a single layer and an older limited width machine.)

These lesser performance “ceramic films now offered by Johnson Window Film, Madico Advanced Ceramics, Geoshield and most recent the 3M Ceramic Film are all re-boxed some with very familiar logos on their box!

How does Huper Optik surpass these films in aesthetics and performance?

  • Their patented process allows them to use a multi layered structure.  This improves total solar energy rejection with far less exterior reflectivity than these also-ran films.
  • Less exterior reflectivity is what Home Owner Associations require in their deed restrictions!
  • All the Huper Series Films are less reflective than glass from the exterior and the interior perspective!
  • The Huper Optik Films are non corroding and are all available in 72 inch widths. This means we never seam a window for larger width glass.

 
  • We love the comparison because when consumers take the time to do their research we win.
  • When consumers ask for a side-by-side mock-up, we win!
  • When consumers check the NFRC for documented performance; we win!
  • We won’t waste your time with nonsense like angles of incidence or offer total crap like their film blocks 97% of the IR or worse yet, the heat?

We won’t use tricks and gimmicks like heat lamp BTU tests that imply their lighter films block more heat than a darker silver film . Any one that does this should be ashamed of themselves!

 
We prefer reality over illusion.
How about you?


Our winning strategy is founded upon the firm belief that consumers are much too smart and money is much too tight, to be mislead or bamboozled; no matter how familiar they might be with any particular brand of film.

Florida’s Homes Of Distinction Demand Huper Optik Ceramic Window Film

Leave a reply

We have installed our Window Films on so many beautiful homes recently it’s getting hard to keep track. 

A few communities are so beautiful, the homes so distinguished it simply takes your breath away.

These homes have huge expanses of glass facing west and south. 

The sun is intense and as you drive past the homes you’ll note their blinds drawn tight against the glare and heat.  Furnishings fading due to this light and UV are a primary concern for these upscale homeowners.

These sprawling developments have homes nestled in scenic acres. 

An entire town is springing up right before your eyes. 

Here the homes also face the West and South with glass covering the lanai area . 

Our Nano-Ceramic Window Films maintained the views actually reducing the reflectivity of the glass.

Frequently Asked Window Film Questions Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota

Leave a reply
 
 
Are window films installed on the inside or outside of the windows?


We typically install on the interior side of the glass. This increases the life expectancy of these films supported by our lifetime warranty.

Consumers are concerned about window film having a perceived tendency to break windows.
 

 

Advanced Film Solutions represents the finest window film technology manufactured by Eastman Chemical.

Our expert technicians and sales consultants have decades of experience and we absolutely know our way around a window.bbb

There are films that are specifically built for cars that absorb heat rather than reflect the heat away.  These films can create thermal stress.

Unfortunately some car tinting bozo’s will apply this incorrect film on a home or commercial application.

 
  1. Our films are warranted against glass breakage and we provide a written automatic glass breakage warranty. Optional glass breakage warranties are available that match your existing window warranty for extended periods beyond 5 years.

  2. Our Vista Films are designed for maximum efficiency on IG units. Our Huper Optik non reflective films are also warranted against glass breakage!

Advanced Film Solutions represents Eastman Chemical LLumar, Vista shatter control films. These meet GSA and DOD specifications.

How does our film compare to 3M Window Film?

The 3M dealer told us that their prestige film blocks 97% of the heat, works better at angles and keeps the home warm in the winter as well as keeping homes cooler in the summer.

Well. .

The key criteria for window film specifications and performance characteristics is the total solar energy rejected or shading coefficient.

These attributes are tested by objective independent laboratories and documented and certified by the NFRC.

Advanced Film Solutions installs NFRC rated films that can be confirmed by this agency for their capabilities.

All window films and glass seem to reject heat better when the heat object (SUN!) is at an angle to the glass.

The maximum sun angle is 90 degrees (this is the standard measurement for maximum accuracy) Any representation that an angular measurement improves the heat rejection capabilities of the film is simply ridiculous and disingenuous.
