 Home cooling costs are extremely high and rate hikes from  local power companies have made that cost rise dramatically over the last several years.

During the cooler months home heating costs can curb your budget making you spend more money on electric bills than anyone would like.

Our portfolio of window films  from VISTA and Huper Optik not only curb your costs by 30% a month during the summer but they also reduce the fade damage on your precious interior furnishings and keepsakes.

Most folks are holding onto their current furnishings a bit longer than in the past. Reducing the UV by almost 100% along with the heat and light simply makes sense.


We don’t need to hype the health benefits of reducing the UVA and UVB by nearly 100%.

Consumers are unaware that their glass does NOT block UV!

Safety and Security .  So many homes have glass near the front entry door. This is the easiest way to break into a home. Our solar and security films delay, deny and deter entry.

Glare and heat. 

Heat is the enemy here in Florida and along with glare many rooms are simply unlivable. 

Our Window Films block glare and heat. From a practical viewpoint this enhancement to your home’s glass will differentiate your home from the other homes for sale in your area!



The practicality of installing these energy savings films with a 
much thicker (8 times) DuPont polyester mylar, multiplies the associated dual benefit of the installation. The film looks exactly the same on your windows as the thinner versions but the added strength against impact helps deny entry from burglars and improves your home protection against flying debris.

Tampa Window Film NFRC Certification In Plain English

NFRC certification is an important step in the window film industry.

The International Window Film Association has been collectively involved in meetings during the years in setting the guidelines for certification and ensuring that window film would be included as an energy efficient device.

Accurate measurements of a particular window film performance on glass have been well known for decades. The issue for the window film industry was how to objectively quantify these performance characteristics, and how to certify the accuracy of these results?

By accomplishing this requirement Eastman Performance Films (Huper Optik) enables consumers to make an objective decision (the level playing field) and potentially qualify for rebates and incentives.

Window manufacturers have had a head start (as you might expect) The removable temporary labels currently appear on their certified products.

Window film was a different situation since the installation is typically a retrofit on an installed window.
 

Your particular home (let’s use Florida for example) have windows that are typically 1/8″ clear single pane (commercial glass may have 1/4″ glass.)

These clear glass types are extremely inefficient since they allow so much solar energy (heat) to be transmitted into your home. The installation of an energy efficient window film can reduce that heat by a tremendous amount, saving cooling costs (your energy bill!)

The certified lab tested performance of the installed window film will now become available to consumers.

Obviously certain types of window film may be more “energy efficient” than others based on their visible light transmission (how dark?) and their SHGC (how much heat is entering the room?)

This is the trade-off between energy efficiency and aesthetics.  As experts in energy efficient window film we can guide you through these selections so that you can make the best choice for your specific home.

The fact that Eastman Performance Films was the first window film manufacturer to take these steps and demonstrate their accurate performance of their window film demonstrates their commitment to the consumer.

Huper Optik became the second company to receive certification and we are proud of both of our key manufacturers for their diligence.

As a personal aside; it is this consumer oriented mindset at VISTA Window Film, that encouraged Advanced Film Solutions to become a Vista Window Film independent dealer.

Yet another reason to consider VISTA or Huper Optik Window Film for your Florida home!

We highly recommend that you consider an energy retrofit for your windows by installing our Vista or Huper Optik window film as compared to your cost for replacing your windows.

Tampa Bay Views, Advanced Film Solutions Ceramic Film

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.
