Advanced Film Solutions is confident that we have the most effective and best value solutions for our clients.

 

Having earned the Super Service Award from Angie’s List for 9 years so it’s clear that our customers get the best installations with a lifetime warranty.

I liken it to wine selection.
 
 

Let’s say you are looking for a good wine you would go to the local shop and ask the owner which wine he would recommend?

If you looked at his shelves and noticed that they had only one type of wine it would hardly surprise you if he responded – -“pick that one from the shelf!”

 
We come at this from a customer prospective rather than a sole source point of view.
 

Having spent decades involved in window film we know which films have the best performance, features, advantages and benefits. 

We ask questions and consult, rather than simply proposing a “one size fits all” approach.

The “best” is quite often a very subjective adjective.  When we speak about the best film solution we cover the following aspects;


1. Based on your specific requirements which window film solution will best solve your problems?

2. Quite often there are several possible solutions; the determination will be based upon your aesthetic choice particularly if your neighborhood has deed restrictions.


3. Warranty is critical and of course our films are warranted for a lifetime
 

IG units manufacturers may void the warranty if window films are installed. VISTA will assume the warranty on your IG units.

5. Width is never a limitation unlike our key competitor, 3M.  The state of the art manufacturing facilities at Eastman Chemical Performance Films and Huper Optik allow them to produce wider width films.

We never have to install film on your glass with a running seam across the entire pane!
 

6. Our promise is to stay ahead of the technology curve in the window film business.  The ceramic and nanotechnology window films have increased the effectiveness of residential solutions without compromising the “look” of your home.

7. Our Low E Films provide energy savings in the winter and summer months.

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

Several versions provide daytime privacy along with the aforementioned benefits.

This is particularly valuable during a lock down or when your goal is to protect personnel from targeting from an outsider (think scoping!)

Advanced Film Solutions provides attachment systems that meet the physical characteristics of your window system. Typically we use Dow 995 structural sealants. These are the wet seal products used during blast and windstorm testing.
