 Let’s take a look at today’s installations:
 

Case 1: Our clients windows face due west. The glare is oppressive and their summer electric bill is unbelievable at $380 a month.

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?

Huper Optik ceramic 30 .

This non reflective film will block nearly 70% of the heat and glare.  Commercial rebates may apply and their clients will enjoy the comfort that Huper Optik delivers !

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.

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.

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?

We completed a larger project at NC State University Hill library where the sustainable solution was our Eastman Chemical manufactured Huper Optik film.

These durable coatings reduce heat gain without adding any reflectivity to the interior or exterior view.

 The goal was to provide nearly total UV reduction, lower heat gain by 70% and eliminate hot spots that can increase demand particularly during the hotter summer months.

 

Glare has been reduced by an impressive 70% and that serves to make the interior building quality much more productive for students and staff.

Our team of installers met the clients’ targeted goals for completion and the University is enthusiast in their appreciation for  the professional implementation of this energy savings film.

The success of window film systems to improve comfort and reduce energy demand and the fact that these NFRC certified films will continue to provide these benefits long into the future are raising the profile of window film as a solution across the USA.
