Window film competition here in Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota can be fierce!
 
 
It’s hot. It stays hot. 
 

We launched our company in the midst of a shifting and uncertain economy back in 2007.

What are the factors that gave us a winning advantage over the competitors ?

Advanced Film Solutions believes that Value trumps any “perception ” of brand superiority.


  • Choices!  We offer more choices in window films that offer documented superiority.  This is a distinct advantage.  It’s not that we simply throw all of our choices against the glass and say. . pick one! We know the nuances between these solutions.  We are always 100% consumer focused.

  • You always deal with an expert in window film solutions and technology.  We don’t have neophyte employees who pretend that one solution is always the best solution.
  • Running “lean and mean” gives us pricing flexibility that our competition can not match.
  • We also stay at the forefront of new technologies and window film advances.  There are no magical secrets in this business. 

If there were lower cost window tinting solutions that were superior to our brands, I’d certainly know about them.

  • Superior installations: I hate headaches. We take care to make certain that our clients receive the very best installs. We aren’t perfect and when we mess up, we do everything we can to fix the problem. That’s why we survey all of our clients to learn from our mistakes.
  • We present facts and documented performance. That’s why we embrace the NFRC .

Selecting Best Value Window Tinting For Florida’s Prestige Homes

We love the question: “How does Vista or Huper Optik compare to 3M film?”

Typically get this question from a consumer who has been quoted a high cost from the home depot 3M install program.

Prices so inflated that we were wondering if platinum was being added into the deal? 

1457705_667075529992588_888455922_nCheck out that left top panel with 3M film.

The remaining panels have Huper 30 ceramic film.

This haze is a crucial difference between the Vista and Huper ceramic films and 3M’s nano line.

Seeing is believing. If you have any doubt at all; we’ll do a side by side comparison.

If you prefer an invisible coating that will maintain the aesthetic appearance of your glass; you should consider our Huper Optik ceramic film.

  • Vista Films were the first NFRC Certified window films. Huper Optik has also been certified.The reason this is important for consumers is the documented performance you will enjoy when the installation is completed. It separates fact from fantasy when you might hear spurious claims about 97% heat rejection or better heat rejection at angles.

  • This is a key issue for gated communities as well as deed restricted neighborhood where a shiny film is forbidden.

  • Our 8 ML Vista and Llumar Magnum Films  have greater puncture resistance thanks to the thicker multi-layered composition.  Their ultra film is thinner and less secure than our 8 ML or thicker coatings.

  • Their hard coat is no stronger than Vista’s. Any implication that their film withstands scratches better; or is Windex safer than ours is false.
  • The optical clarity of our VISTA films is unsurpassed.  We’ll take that match up film to film any day!
  • VISTA manufactures all of their window films and does not “private label” outside manufacturer’s film. PERIOD!  The list of films sold by 3M that are actually made by other lesser known companies is too long to list here.
  • Vista offers dual reflective films in a 5, 7,14, 15, 18, 25, 28, 38, 45, and 48 % visible light transmissions. 3M in a 15, 25, 35 only!
  • We offer a full line of bronze films.  3M has none.
  • VISTA & LLumar Magnum Security Films are available in a 20 neutral, 20 silver, 28, 38, 40, 50 and clear. 3M in a  25, 35, and clear 4ML and clear 6 ML and their 50 and 70 prestige.  The re-package another manufacturer’s 14 ML film and brag about how strong it is. Obviously that same film is available directly from the OEM at a fairer price.

That’s our top ten reasons consumers select our VISTA Films!
