Tampa Cool Buildings With LLumar, Vista Window Film Solutions

Sometimes an incredible cost effective solution can be glossed over when energy managers and facilities leaders brainstorm methods to consider to obtain sustainable energy solutions.

BUT

Window film has been around since the 1960’s.

Today’s new technology energy insulating coatings are durable, warranted against failure and won’t alter the appearance of your windows (unless that’s what you want!)

We have come a very long way from the old days of purple, hazy and murky reflective films of those early times.

So why do ESCO’s and energy cost consultants seem totally absorbed with HVAC and lighting retrofits?

  1. Window film isn’t as exciting as lighting systems or updated chillers.
  2. There remains a poor perception of window film possibly based on past installations where film failure was experienced or the observation of failed tint on cars or retail stores.
  3. Window film doesn’t appear to have champions that are promoting this solution.
  4. Glass curtain wall companies are keenly interested in window and glass replacement. Window film retrofits would obviate that requirement.

Window film is an industry in search of credibility.

 

That’s why we are pleased with the NFRC ratings that document performance characteristics and expectations of window film solutions.

We promote the objective reports that quantify energy savings and ROI!

Additional considerations:

  • All Vista , LLumar film factor out 99.9% of the UV- This preserves interior carpeting, paintings and furnishings.
  • Glare control will improve worker productivity and comfort.

  • Demonstrable tenant satisfaction based upon this improved comfort and elimination of cold and hot spots throughout your entire facility.
  • Improved efficiency of your Hvac and chiller systems since heat gain is blocked at the glass!

  • NFRC rated performance on all Eastman Commercial Window Films.

  • Energy Rebates apply through your local power company. Duke Energy, TECO, FP&L all offer attractive commercial window film rebate incentives.
  • Significant reduction in your monthly energy costs.

  • Improved curb appeal – many films will streamline the aesthetics of your facility and provide privacy.
  • Safety and Security (thicker iterations) for burglary protection and blast protection.

  • Interior designer architectural films can be employed on interior glass dividers and conference rooms.  These films enhance the beauty and functionality of your design planning.

We shout from the highest mountains the successful installations throughout the world where window film has altered perceptions and attained it’s proper position as the foundation component in a hierarchy of energy smart solutions.

Here for example our installation at NC State University!

Today’s facility manager has to be a jack of all trades.


Shrinking budgets, and economic concerns tightened budgets across the board.
Certainly sustainability and “greening ” of your facility are top of mind considerations but practical costs have to be measured and bench marked for realistic short and long term cost savings.

Energy costs are rising.

Energy costs are the second fastest growing expense area behind health care costs and are expected to increase as the economy recovers and companies increase their production.

Many of the low hanging fruit improvements have been implemented. (lighting upgrades, etc.)

We can stare at the stars and dream of solutions that may someday provide energy savings but that electric bill from TECO or Duke Energy keeps on arriving in your mailbox so it might be a good time to put those pipe dreams behind.

Heating and cooling are a home’s most expensive systems, typically chewing up 48 percent of the utility budget, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)

Window film retrofits:

  • Window films are proven technologies that are available right now!
  • Window Films have documented performance values confirmed by the NFRC (no hyperbole, gimmicks, sun lamps.)
  • Cooling and heating costs savings are also well documented. Anticipated energy cost savings of 30% are realistic.

  • The aesthetic appearance of your home windows need not change thanks to selections that are clear and light with lower reflection than you existing glass reflection.
  • Installation is typically a one day project conducted by expert factory trained technicians.
  • Solar films are geared to filtering out heat and UV. Glare control is also a benefit. Consumers should also consider thicker dual benefit safety and security coatings. These are thicker iterations of the solar films that delay, deter and deny criminal entry.

  • The warranty for today’s window film is lifetime and our glass warranty provides assurance that matches any pre-existing window warranty.

Heat & Glare Control Advanced Film Solutions Window Tinting, Tampa Bay

Our installation crews were busy blocking blinding bright glare at several retail shops throughout the Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota area.

 

Stores facing east, south and west understand exactly what the problem is every single day.


Intense glare makes store patrons and clients uncomfortable. They shop less and buy less.

  • Unprotected windows allow UV to stream into the store fading inventory and interiors.

  • Non protected glass is easy to shatter. Burglars have a field day!

  • Energy costs are outrageous. Solar control films reduce AC usage.

  • Privacy: Some retailers prefer privacy! Health clubs, and certain private establishments want total daytime privacy.

  • Aesthetic curb appeal: Boxes and shelving take away from a store curb appeal. Streamlining the glass with sun control films offer a pleasing appearance to your storefront.
  • Heat and UV is the key concern but in store visibility has to be maintained! 

This is the perfect scenario for our Huper Optik non-reflective ceramic films.

Enjoy the reduced heat and UV without detracting for the view.

Advanced Film Solutions offers economical solutions throughout the Tampa Bay area.
