What To Know About Window Tinting For Your New Tampa Home

Leave a reply

If you are new to the Tampa Bay area; we wish you a warm welcome. 

Tampa Bay is a terrific place to live!

What you probably won’t enjoy are our endless summers of sultry, humid, hot weather that makes it impossible to open your windows at any time of the day or night.

 
You’ll soon discover that many smart homeowners have window film installed on their glass.



What factors should a Tampa homeowner consider before making any decisions on which window film solution to select?
 
  1. Does your homeowner association restrict the use of reflective films?

Many gated communities have deed restrictions that limit the use of reflective films. This is entirely an aesthetic concern.  Check your homeowner association guidelines under the “window category.”

Advanced Film Solutions has a wide range of non-reflective films that block heat without requiring a metallic look for your glass.  These films are very effective in reducing IR heat and visible light.

Our leading solution is the German manufactured Huper Optik Series.

  • We don’t have a deed restriction?

    If a reflective film is allowed; or you have the freedom of choice for selecting window film you may wish to consider highly effective dual reflective Vista Films.     Vista Films are reflective when viewing the glass from the exterior view.gfrVista designed a lower reflective interior face so your night views are undisturbed.  Vista Films are available in an array of light transmissions that can block nearly 90% of the glare and almost 100% of the UV. How dark, or light you choose is up to you!
  • Wouldn’t it be cheaper to simply replace our windows? 
  • Ask your neighbors how much window replacement costs are these days? Advanced Film Solutions takes your existing glass and transforms their ability to factor out heat and glare at a fraction (typically 1/10) the cost of a window replacement.  Our window film has a lifetime warranty that protects your investment.
  • We want an experienced company with a superior record for customer service!

    Advanced Film Solutions has earned the impressive Super Service Award for customer service from Angie’s List for 10 years. 

We are Better Business Bureau A Plus Rated and we have completed thousands of projects.bbb

  • You are the expert; is one film a better value than another? Or simply; who makes the best window film?

    Advanced Film Solutions differentiates ourselves from our competition in many important ways. We have more choices and offer more of the world leading brands than any competitor.  There are differences between the popular brand choices. Knowing which film matches our client’s requirements is our focused objective. Budget concerns, aesthetic variations and performance factors all contribute to formulating a customized proposal.
  • Do you give free estimates? 
    Yes!     
  • Our neighbor said we should get 3M window film. How do you compare? We are very attuned to the competitive advantages of our product/solutions portfolio over our 3M competition.Our background (33 years at 3M and formerly National Sales Manager of 3M Window Film.)

    We can state without reservation that there is no 3M solar or solar security window film that can equal the Advanced Film Solutions proposal in terms of aesthetics, clarity, documented heat rejection, choices in light transmissions, rebate acceptable or warranty.

We encourage this comparison and we are 100% confident that you will recognize the greater value in every critical comparison.

Tangible Window Film Benefits For Florida’s Commercial Buildings

Leave a reply

The perfect storm of rising electric costs based on unstable petroleum supplies and the encouragement of the US Government for energy efficiency has reawakened interest in window film as a cost savings solution.

This has been a long time coming because the cost equation was never easily quantified with window film and the life cycle of the product would create issues during viability studies.

Further the net effect of darkening windows quite often produced increased internal lighting costs which led to a lower ROI.

Window film leaders have created leading edge window films that meet today’s Facility Manager’s requirements:

  • We no longer install dyed polyester films that would lose their color and create purple windows. Frankly you can still see purple glass on office towers throughout the USA. This is the legacy of the 1970’s when dyed tint films were the only show in town.  The Oil Embargo created the need and these films initially produced the anticipated benefits. Unfortunately as the dyes migrated so did the effectiveness of the window tinting. LLumar and VISTA Films are metallic or ceramic and the life cycle of these films can be expected for a 20 year cycle.

  • DOE II programs have effectively quantified dramatic cost savings and ROI with the installation of our window film.  There are variables, to be sure that have an impact on the rate of return. Certain films like our Reflective 20 Silver films provide huge heat gain reductions at a very cost effective investment. Less internally reflective films have an associated cost premium which would be evident with our VISTA Series dual reflective films. Ceramic and nano-ceramic films will block copious amounts of IR and Solar heat gain without reducing the visible light transmission.  These ceramic films should be considered if daylighting benefits are considered.  Sunlight is free and these spectrally selective films would balance the AC without incurring higher internal lighting costs.
  • There are tangible aesthetic improvements that can be expected with the installation of window film. Uniform building appearance increases the value of the commercial property and in today’s competitive climate tenant comfort and tenant satisfaction are enormously important as vacancy rates increase.

Government facilities and Fortune 500 corporations have recognized the bottom line and top line benefits of reduced energy usage.  The Recovery Act and LEEDS credits and city specific commercial window film rebates are driving renewed interest.

Building Managers and Commercial Property Managers can implement their own energy retrofit plan without contracting with a third party energy services company.

Advanced Film Solutions has teamed with the world leading window film solutions.
