Pinellas County Energy Efficient Window Tinting Retrofit

Leave a reply

Pinellas County building managers are as concerned as anyone else about the rising cooling costs.

An energy retrofit upgrade begins with targeting the biggest culprit for improvement; the exposed clear glass windows throughout their buildings.

Advanced Film Solutions Window Film Protecting Tampa Bay

Our Advanced Film Solutions crews performed expert installations with an assortment of solar and solar security films.

One noteworthy installation was for a home in Hudson, FL located in Pasco County.

Our client has a large sun room that baked every afternoon since the majority of their windows face west. Their objective was to reduce the heat and glare and UV.

The open expanse of glass left them feeling like they lived in a fish bowl.

The solution was our Vista 28 Luminance Film. Glare and UV nearly eliminated and they achieved day time privacy as well.

They also selected our thicker 8 ML version to improve shatter strength and impact resistance against intrusion.


The dual benefit of a safety solar film provided peace of mind as well as a more comfortable; energy efficient home!

 
 

Advanced Film Solutions technicians completed a major project for security film on the City Hall Building at Altamonte Springs with the same Vista 8 ML film.

 

We were able to easily demonstrate the better performance (heat rejection as well as safety) compared to the 3M Night Vision thinner security films.

One of the best things that has ever happened for the window film business has been the increased credibility of our film solutions by the National Fenestration Ratings Council.

You have seen their stickers before on new windows.

Documented performance of the energy efficiency of a particular window compared to another manufacturer’s.

The window film industry has been provided a path toward receiving Energy Star status. 

The logical first steps were to independently test and document a film’s performance of standard retrofit glass configurations. 

The first company to complete the process was Eastman Chemical Performance Films with our Vista and LLumar brands.

They were followed by Southwall (Huper Optik and V-Kool)  Later Madico, Solar Gard, Johnson and my alma mater 3M.

Leaving aside the minutia that might make your eyes glaze over (pun intended!)  How does all this mumbo jumbo help the consumer?

 

The true measure of a window films efficiency is the solar heat gain eliminated by the window film.

So despite the baloney by 3M that their prestige film works better at an angle compared to other films, or their fable that they created a special test to prove this.

The truth is that there simply is no such criteria or factual basis behind their claim of uniqueness.

Advanced Film Solutions offers NFRC documented window films by the industry leaders.

 

Straight facts. No Bull.

Consumers are looking for window protection and quite honestly the “best bang for the buck.”

Who can blame them?  

More Florida home and business owners choose Advanced Film Solutions for their window film than any other installation company. 

Windows and doors are the most vulnerable parts of a home, public building or place of business.

They are easy points of entry for people that may mean harm to the occupants. Glass is also an inviting target for vandals intent on mischief or worse, and a point of weakness for extreme weather conditions.

Safety window films offer a measure of protection from the hazards of flying glass fragments during a storm, blast or other type of attack and can possibly deter or at least delay unwanted entry.

When ordinary non-tempered glass breaks, it poses considerable danger, but with filmed glass, this hazard may be significantly reduced.

Thicker coatings provide greater tensile strength, puncture strength and safety.

Tampa Safety Security Shatter Control Window Film Solutions

Safety and security window film has demonstrated safety benefits for protecting people and property for decades.

The Federal government has developed safety criteria for Federal installations and the window film industry has conducted these tests through independent testing laboratories.

The shatter retention films represented by Advanced Film Solutions meets the most stringent GSA requirements when properly anchored with a wet seal (Dow 995 silicone) fastening system.

It should be noted that our direct competition 3M security film has no performance advantage over our solar security films in terms of safety.

Their representations of increased tear resistance or some advantage of their fastening IPD  caulk over Dow 995 has NOT given them any safety advantage on any objective testing standard including GSA, Department of Defense, Factory Global or ASTM.

To the contrary they are extremely limited to a handful of solar security films while our portfolio includes:

  • Silver 8 ML and thicker.
  • Neutral 8 ML
  • Dual reflective 8 ML in 25, 35, 28, 38 light transmissions.
  • Clear Security film in 4,6,7,8,11,14,15 +Ml
  • Neutral 50, 40, 35
  • Non reflective 40, 8ML and 50 8Ml and 70 8 ML

Our Eastman LLumar , Madico, Avery-Dennison Hanita, SunTek, Huper Optik, Vista and Armorcoat Films are the standard for force protection personnel perimeter protection throughout the world.

Most recently and unfortunately these films are the most specified security films employed for school safety security in the USA
