Finding The Right Window Film For Florida Homes

Advanced Film Solutions is Florida’s leading window film installation company.

Our technicians have earned the Super Service Award from Angie’s List (based entirely on third party recommendation) for ten consecutive years and have earned an A Plus rating with the Better Business Bureau.

With more than 40 years experience we thought it might be helpful to give consumers a checklist for choosing the perfect window film for your home or business.

Make certain that your installation provider has the proper insurance and credentials. All too often folks that install window film are self employed and have no coverage.
There are many reliable window film solutions but you really want a coating that will be durable, warranted for a lifetime of functionality and appearance. Stay away from car tinting films or dyed films.Be extremely careful when a tinter offers “carbon” films or fancy sounding generic films that can cause thermal fractures on your windows or turn purple or bubble.
Make certain that the film being offered meets any HOA rules or potential deed restrictions.
Make certain that the film selected is NFRC certified!This quasi-governmental agency ensures that the film being installed meets exact quantified characteristics and measured performance. That’s important because gimmicks can give the illusion that a film blocks more heat using misleading French Fry Lamps and rigged BTU meters.

It happens.

Accidents; that is.

An errant golf ball flying through your dining room window. The kids down the block playing catch and OOPS! Your living room window is shattered.

Of course many homeowners face security concerns with burglaries through the pool door, front door glass or sliders.

Florida homeowners can defend their homes with today’s shatter control security window films. These thicker (8 ML) films hold glass in place.

While an unprotected windows will shatter and the glass will fall to the ground; shatter films keep the glass in the frames.

This delays, denies and deters burglars. The film will keep the weather out as well.

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.

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.
