The Truth Prestige Film IR Rejection Huper Optik Vs. 3M Comparisons

I’ve written about this before (as have some others!) but the 3M Prestige Film has always been interesting to me for a variety of reasons.

Let’s just say that I was once a True Believer (Yeah I wrote that!) having swallowed the RED PILL entirely. 

It was only after I left 3M that my faith was shaken by:
 
 
THE TRUTH
 
 

No Prestige did not work better at an angle compared to other window films.

No Prestige did not reject 97% of the IR

No Prestige did not reject more heat than a dark silver reflective film.

Now this may seem like an esoteric argument with little to no impact on the larger world outside of window film; but (stick with me here) there is a crucial perception and a credibility issue at stake. (Mostly my own!)

I don’t like being fibbed to (there are stronger words!) and I can’t abide losing any business to a competitor that is either intentionally or through ignorance, misrepresenting their product’s performance. 

Now as the competitor against 3M Prestige that has become much more important.

Eastman Chemical the world leader in window film (by any measurement or standard) had tackled these issues with a series of technical reports and white papers almost immediately upon the launch of Prestige and the 3M marketing and supporting literature that their dealers utilize to support their selling efforts.

They understand performance and our complete portfolio of window film includes Armorcoat, LLumar, SunTek, Hanita, Madico and Vista.

Pet’s understandably get as hot; or hotter than their owners.
 
They hate glare (OK- a few obstinate cats prefer a bright room, but they are in a small minority!)

2024, Tampa Bay’s Most Experienced Window Tinting Solutions

Hot and humid weather is the rule here in the Tampa Bay-Orlando-Bradenton Sarasota region.

 

Most homeowners rely on their air conditioning for at least 9-10 months a year. 

Home and business cooling costs have increased during the last decade and there is little to suggest that this will change any time soon.

Most homes have single pane glass.

Unfortunately these window systems allow UV, light and heat (of course!) to enter the living space.

This means: hot spots, glare and faded furnishings.

 

Homeowners consider blinds or shades as their first line of defense against the heat. While terrific for privacy they simply don’t stop the solar heat gain or UV.

Replacing windows with insulated glass is an expensive proposition.

Payback for window replacement takes more than 15 years and the heat reduction isn’t nearly as profound as a window film solution.

Advanced Film Solutions installs the innovative solar control window films  manufactured by the world leading Eastman Performance Films.
These ingenious solutions factor out 99.9% of the UV and depending upon the light transmission you select, our coatings can block 80-85% of the solar heat.

Since we improve the performance of your existing windows the cost for this energy transformation is much less than a window replacement. Typically 1/10 that cost!hu

Designed for durability and incredibly optical clarity these films are backed by a lifetime warranty!


Ingenuity defines our window film portfolio and our expert installers have been awarded Angie’s List Super Service Award for 9 years.

Start 2024 with the perfect solution.
