We are installing Vista Celeste 18 our dual reflective glare killer.

They qualify for Orlando Utility rebates
 

Our client lives in Clearwater and their sliders and window openings have an easy access to the street.   There have been several home break-ins recently and they wanted privacy as well as home security.  We are installing LLumar Magnum 20 on all of their windows and sliders.

This application will reinforce their glass, reduce the glare and provide privacy all at the same time.

Case 3:  This commercial client has an upscale salon in Tampa.  They face East and get hit with glare and heat all morning.

They considered blinds but this would block the interior view making the salon far less inviting.

The solution?

2022, Security Solar Window Film, Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota

Many Florida homeowners who are investigating solar control UV filtering and glare blocking window films also consider thicker safety security versions for home protection.

secure

Getting more bang for the buck for versions that hold glass in place against forced entry or impact while performing the exact same solar benefits can only add to the rationale for investing in window film.

Advanced Film Solutions appreciates this logic and we offer more solar security versions of window film than any other company in Florida.

Crime

At a minimum our coatings are 8 ML thick. This is the standard required for meeting various independent tests that quantify impact performance. 8 ML films meet ASTM 1996, ASTM1886 B and GSA Level 3 for blast mitigation.

Several versions of our Vista and LLumar security films also meet Factory Mutual standards for wind blown debris on commercial window systems.

No matter the film selected it is recommended that sliders and larger window openings receive an application of Dow 995 structural silicone attachment system along the perimeter of the frame. This additional anchoring is the best method for improving the performance of the window system against impact.

Advanced Film Solutions represents Eastman Chemicals whose portfolio includes LLumar, Vista, Huper Optik and SunTek solar security Film.

We also represent Madico and Sunscape (the films on the US Capitol Building) as well as the Saint-Gobain Armorcoat films.

2022, Tampa Bay Window Tinting Expert Solutions

 Advanced Film Solutions takes the mystery out of window film in Tampa.  
parents

As experts in the window film business we have researched all of the window film solutions available in the marketplace.


Like you, we have set specific qualifications that we know our customers require:

  • Does the window film have NFRC certification documenting your anticipated performance?
  • Will the window film installed save monthly energy costs by 15%-35%?

  • Does the film pass all deed restrictions against a reflective film?
  • Does the solution lower energy costs in the colder months by saving on heating costs? 

  • Does the film manufacturer offer a Lifetime Warranty?

There is only one window film that meets each and every one of the criteria listed:

And the best installations can only come from:

Tampa Gets Cool With LLumar Advanced Film Solutions

The mature window tinting business that began over a half century ago has gone through many change since late 2008 when Eastman Films became the first company with NFRC Certification

The original window films back in the 1960’s and 1970’s had a limited life cycle because of the unstable dyes that were used in the manufacturing process.


This grew to become an industry still in search of credibility. 

35524_535040636529412_1695691701_n
Even today you’ll see purple windows on homes, office buildings and retail stores.

Credibility is critically important and the game changer is the US Department Of Energy and their Energy Star program. 

For window films to become rated and approved the industry has had to develop standardized measurements independently lab tested and documented.

img_home_10

The NFRC provided the vehicle for this logical process and the leading window film companies driven by Eastman’s leadership have followed suit.

Consumers are looking for energy efficient solutions that can reduce their carbon footprint and save money on their electric bills. 

Now with NFRC rated films a consumer can narrow their choices to performance and aesthetics.

Certainly there are reflective films that provide privacy, UV rejection and superior heat rejection.

These films like VISTA and LLumar set the standard in low interior reflection and outstanding optical clarity.

 

Non-Reflective Ceramic Films like Huper Optik set the bar at the highest level for a non metal film that meets aesthetic requirements of any Home Owners Association and complies with Deed Restrictions.

We strongly endorse the NFRC and the independent credentials that will ultimately lead to Energy Star ratings

That’s why we always advise our clients to do their homework, check the ratings and beware outrageous claims about blocking 97% of the IR or heat or nonsense about working better at angles (after all all window films do!)

Beware phony BTU tests with rigged IR meters that only measure a narrow wavelength to give the illusion of performance.

Commercial Glass Protection Window Film, Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota

A key concern for many property managers is increased protection of tenant property and assets from burglary and weather induced shattered glass.

Installation of clear LLumar Security Glazing Film


Certainly alarm systems detect a breach and the alarms do limit the amount of time thieves will linger at a targeted location.

Nevertheless, reinforcing your glass with our safety and security glazing films is an obvious, economically beneficial alternative. How long will it take for law enforcement to respond?

Our thick optically transparent films will slow down these crooks-period!
