Florida Commercial Window Film Installations

Window film retrofit applications have been demonstrated to provide immediate cost savings benefits for commercial property managers throughout Florida.

 

The retrofit application of Advanced Film Solutions Eastman Solar Film provides a quantifiable cost reduction in Hvac operating costs as well as productivity gains in employee performance.

Today’s durable coatings filter 99.9% of the UV rays from entering office windows.

This reduces fading of interior accessories and wood floors and paintings.

There are also health benefits considering skin cancer issues that will also be beneficial.

  • Uncontrolled daylight coming in through windows can cause glare, employee and visitor discomfort, warm temperatures, hot/cold spots, and HVAC systems to run excessively to try to keep up.
  • A building’s directional orientation can create areas that receive significantly more sunlight than others. Depending on the sophistication of a facility’s HVAC system, this can create challenges for maintaining comfort.

  • A major component of any building envelope is its fenestration (windows, doors, skylights, and curtainwalls). A 10% to 40 % reduction in lighting and HVAC costs can be achieved by improving the energy efficiency of fenestration of commercial buildings, according to the National Institute of Building Sciences.

  • According to the U.S. Department of Energy, windows account for 10% to 25% of heating bills, and are the greatest source of heat loss or gain in any building. That’s where our Low E  Films win the day!
  • According to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, space heating, cooling, and ventilation account for the largest amount of end-use energy consumption in buildings.
  • Using window film to control the sun’s heat allows staff to leave blinds and curtains open and enjoy outdoor views and exposures with controlled daylight. This can improve health and well being for patients, reduce exposure to harmful UV rays, and increase productivity for staff members.

  • Window film has been proven to offer significant savings on both heating and cooling costs with metered measurement and verification of cooling and heating savings.  Studies have shown that window film can provide a significant increase in useful daylight (and in staff satisfaction and comfort levels).

  • Window film is a retrofit solution for facilities professionals who want to control solar heat gain and glare, provide UV protection, and experience year-round insulating benefits.

  • No special maintenance is required for window film.
  • Window film was named the most cost-effective energy-saving choice  when used in retrofit commercial building projects.

  • Advancements in window film have led to film options that aren’t overly dark and don’t produce an iridescent shine.

  • A study of the top five energy retrofits based on ROI identified window film as one option that offers a quick return on investment.

Glare is virtually eliminated as are hot spots and the cluttered appearance your windows may present from the street view.

Energy costs savings through the summer months as well as Low E films throughout the winter months save energy costs and provide a faster ROI

Find Window Film For Cool Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota, Bradenton Homes

Advanced Film Solutions and VISTA cool Florida homes.

VISTA Films reduce energy usage without sacrificing the views or aesthetics.

These transparent VISTA window films are a far cry from the window tinting that many consumers may be sadly familiar.


I’ve actually seen people cringe when they hear the topic of window films being discussed.

 
 
Their impression, that window film’s all bubble or turn a horrible shade of purple!
 
To be frank the fault for this impression is based upon the early years of window film when most films were constructed with dyed polyester.
 
 
 

These films had a very short life-expectancy and homeowners and businesses that invested in the early window film products soon discovered their obvious limitations.

Many of today’s Do It Yourself (DIY) window films continue to be manufactured with short-lived dyed polyester. You see it on the highways every day. Purple everywhere!

show
  • VISTA Films simply can not turn purple because there are no dyes in the composition of these films.

  • The optical clarity of VISTA Films is incomparable.

  • The VISTA Films are warranted for a lifetime against adhesive failure, blistering, etc. etc.


The “bottom line?”

Never sacrifice aesthetics or compromise your views when you invest in VISTA Films.
 

That’s the reason the overwhelming majority of Interior Designers specifically recommend VISTA Films.

 

That’s the reason Advanced Film Solutions highlights the luxury homes we have completed in gated communities and estates.

After all, homeowners in Westchase, Waterchase, Champion’s Club, Fish Hawk Estates, Landsbrook and Connerton would never accept a blurry, shiny, bubbling solution.

Homeowner Associations Select Advanced Huper Optik Ceramic Window Film Solutions

Clearwater, Florida is famous for our beaches and sunshine. 
 
 

It is also the home for the iconic condominium community of  “On Top Of The World.”

12442635945_6ec0a51945_z
For many years their community center windows gradually turned purple and faded with the 3M Scotchtint Film that had been installed decades earlier.

We could tell because the 3M logo they placed on the film was the same logo I used to have on my business cards in the 1970’s.

 

They were tired of the purple and the haze and wanted a solutions that wouldn’t be reflective at all!

The answer?
 
 
Advanced Film Solutions and our Huper Optik nano-ceramic films. 


Now they are blocking 70% of the glare, and nearly 70% of the total solar energy. 

No metals, no reflectivity and that hideous old 3M eyesore (the film; not me!) is gone!

 
  • Cooler residents particularly during the afternoon.

  • Nearly 100% of the UV eliminated
  • Glare has been reduced by 70%
  • The AC costs have been reduced by more than 50%

  • They have qualified for rebates as well as tax credits.
  • The cost for the film is 1/10 that of glass replacement.

How Advanced Film Solutions Won The Tampa Window Tinting War

Leave a reply

After 16 plus years of running my own company in the fascinating world of Tampa window tinting it may still be premature in declaring victory over competition, but hey; we are getting close!

 The challenge for Advanced Film Solutions and is to consistently execute a superior business plan providing clients with the very best value proposition in window film!

Bar none! 
 
  • Advanced Film Solutions created a winning foundation and competitive advantage leveraging our superior solutions versus the perception of 3M window film superiority.

  • Our VISTA and LLumar combination provides our clients an unmatched selection of choices.  Our VISTA dual reflective films are comparatively inexpensive and offer sustained views particularly during the evening hours.

  • Our Huper Optik ceramic films gave Advanced Film Solutions a quantifiable advantage over the 3M Prestige Film series.
  • Huper Optik has superior optical clarity and they manufacture these films without any dyes.

compare

  • 3M recognized that they needed a ceramic film so they re-boxed another companies film.  This private label film has higher reflectivity than our patented Huper Optik.  They are charging the same or higher for less heat rejection and they are limited to a narrow 5 foot width.

  • Advanced Film Solutions placed focus on energy conserving window films for consumers. That’s why we have exhibited at the Tampa Living Green Expo for five straight years.  

  • Advanced Film Solutions expanded operations into Bradenton and Sarasota.  We expanded into the Orlando region.

  • NFRC ratings separate fact from baloney which is particularly critical when we compete against their prestige series.
