Tampa Bay Views, Advanced Film Solutions Ceramic Film

Leave a reply

Unbearable heat and glare was their problem.

Our client required maximum heat rejection without altering their perfect view of the bay.

Advanced Film Solutions competed against several window film companies who offered a variety of solutions.

The client selected Huper Optik because of the heat and glare rejection combined with the non-reflective appearance of the ceramic films.

Slide show

Huper Optik blocked more glare and heat than the 3M Prestige 40 being promoted by 3M Home Depot. Our price was better and the clarity of our film exceeded the 3M appearance.

The fact that Huper Optik is dye free was another winning advantage over Prestige. This ensures that the clarity and appearance of the film will be maintained for years to come.

The Home Depot/ 3M reseller indicated that their film blocked 97% of the heat.

Obviously this is an inaccurate claim. Both Huper Optik and 3M block visible light which represents 50% of the total solar energy.

Both Huper Optik and Prestige block IR heat across the invisible near and far infrared wavelengths. It’s the combination of these heat filtering aspects that are an accurate description of a window film’s efficacy.

Daylight Window Film, Advanced Film Solutions, Tampa Glass Tinting

Leave a reply

Daylighting is the practice of placing windows or other transparent media and reflective surfaces so that, during the day, natural light provides effective interior illumination.

 

Daylight, technically a byproduct of sunlight and its attendant invisible-spectrum IR radiation dispersing in the atmosphere, is a nearly perfect light.

gibbens_010

It is free, and we see very well under it.

In moderation it has positive health benefits associated with vitamins,  enhanced performance, and elevated mood, producing 16 percent or better test score increases and general feelings of well-being in schools (as one example).

It does have a few issues, however:

It is associated with heat, specifically the heat produced by the continuous nuclear reaction comprising the sun.  It is on all the time, but because the planet rotates you can’t see it all the time.

Also, the ultraviolet radiation in sunlight causes toxins from the materials in your house to out gas at an alarming rate, and generally degrades them, so the sun ruins your carpet (one of the worst airborne pollutant sources) and you get indoor air quality problems.

Glare is also a critical downside of allowing in copious amounts of daylighting.  Plasma TV screens, computers and comfort are all issue our clients are facing.

Our solutions?

Low or non-reflective Nano-ceramic window films allow in more natural light than standard dark reflective films while they simultaneously reject nearly 100% of the UV as well as rejecting more IR heat.

Light transmission films in the 30%-50% light transmissions with total solar heat rejection of 60%.

  • Glare is reduced by 30-70%
  • UV eliminated
  • Temperatures are reduced.
  • Windows are protected 24/7 with 8 ML thick shatter films.
  • Electric costs are reduced

.

  • Since these films are non reflective they meet all Deed Restrictions!
  • Homeowners use less interior lighting further lowering electric costs!
  • IR is reduced- so it feels even cooler which provides greater comfort.

You won’t get hype or nonsense about films working better at angles, or gimmick BTU demo’s that mislead you into thinking that a lighter film blocks more heat than darker reflective films.

If 3M Prestige Film can block 97% of the heat like their Orlando dealers write on their website; I am 9 feet tall and can leap a tall building in a single bound!

Tampa Bay Advanced Film Solutions Window & Sliders Security Window Film

Leave a reply

Crime rates are on the increase and home burglary continues to be a major concern for homeowners in the Sarasota, Port Charlotte, Bradenton, Clearwater, Tampa Bay and Orlando area.

secure

Many consumers are unfamiliar with the positive outcome of having security glazing window films applied to the interior face of your home’s windows and sliders.

These thicker (minimum of 8 ML) coatings provide a protective layer that hold the glass in place making it difficult for burglars to smash and grab your valuables.

These are the very same coatings that are utilized to protect our landmark government buildings across the nation and world.

Many retailers use these coatings to increase store asset protection and of course schools and religious organizations are protected with our security coatings.

Interestingly our security films are available in a wide variety of solar versions.

These combined solar safety films provide the security protection along with energy costs savings and filtering of heat, glare and nearly 100% of the UV.

It’s this sustainable energy savings that is frequently cited as the catalyst for calling Advanced Film Solutions Florida’s Window Film Experts.

Lower Electric Bills With Tampa LLumar Advanced Film Solutions Window Tinting

Perhaps this is the year that you execute your own energy conservation plan?

You’ve considered efficient lighting and perhaps added home insulation. But consumers overlook the obvious waster of energy:

Your windows and sliders!

Advanced Film Solutions is a major supplier of spectacular performing Vista  Coatings and Huper Optik Window Film.

 

 

These films will cut down your monthly electric bill by as much as 30%.

 psychiatristint

It isn’t hocus pocus that results in such outstanding savings, rather it’s the designed capabilities of these thin films to block solar heat before it enters through your glass!

An installation of VISTA or Huper Optik films makes sense, so why are many consumers hesitant about window film?

Window Film has been around for quite a long time.
 
 
 

When I started my business career  at 3M in 1974, the film business was already mature.  The problem in those times was the limited life cycle of the dyed films that were being installed.  Dyes faded or changed colors and the adhesive systems failed.

Purple windows and flaking bubbled-up films gave the entire industry a solid black eye.

 

That’s why our entire portfolio of window films comes with a lifetime warranty against peeling, bubbling or color change!


Advanced Film Solutions has completed more than 36,000 homes and buildings since leaving 3M back in 2007.

 

 
We would be happy to provide a free estimate and local references for homeowners just like you and more than likely right in your neighborhood!
