Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota, Window Film For Efficient Windows

Huper Optik coatings will not alter the aesthetic appeal of your office or store windows.

 

Tenant comfort is a critically important issue when property managers review client satisfaction and in particular whether current tenants will renew their lease.

One major factor for disaffected clients is the negative outcome of untreated windows.

Glare, hot spots and overheated offices typically result in unhappy workers and lower productivity.


The solution was the precise application of Huper Optik nanoceramic films to the interior side of the office windows.

The tenant has cooler offices and the glare has been reduced by more than 60%.

The UV has been virtually eliminated which preserves carpets, artwork and furnishings.

Our installation team met all expectations and performed the installation with the least interference with schedules.

Advanced Film Solutions is the leader in Tampa Bay and Orlando window film installations for residential and commercial glass.

Yes–the calendar says it’s November but afternoon temperatures are still hovering near 90 degrees. That’s typical for our Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota region.

The heat is baking your clear glass windows and your living room, bedrooms and kitchen are baking.

Residential window tinting can lower heating and cooling expenses by reducing solar heat from the outside, reducing hot and cold spots inside, and helping to prohibit heat from escaping.

Open your blinds, shades, or drapes and let the sunlight in!

Window film reduces glare by up to 87%, making it easier for you to watch television or work on a computer.

Advanced Film Solutions  residential window tinting is available in a variety of clear, light and subtle shades, you’ll be able to enjoy your view.

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

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.

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.
