Window Tinting Gone Bad, Tampa’s Advanced Film Solutions

Leave a reply

Unfortunately most of the window tinting that was done in Florida in the 1970’s and 1980’s has gone bad.

Many films were dyed polyester films that you would expect in a low cost car tinting. 

These films looked terrific for awhile but the UV inhibitors degraded and the dyes migrated to purple or created optical distortion.
Some competitive films started off hazy and after years of being blistered by the SUN they are now impossible to see through!

 

No matter what cased the problem Advanced Film Solutions can remove this junk from your windows.

We would be happy to replace this mess with VISTA or Huper Optik Window Films that are warranted for a lifetime of enjoyment and energy savings usage.

Removing film yourself requires a ton of work and time.

You don’t want to try using toxic chemicals in your home for obvious reasons.

The Truth Prestige Film IR Rejection Huper Optik Vs. 3M Comparisons

Leave a reply

I’ve written about this before (as have some others!) but the 3M Prestige Film has always been interesting to me for a variety of reasons.

Let’s just say that I was once a True Believer (Yeah I wrote that!) having swallowed the RED PILL entirely. 

It was only after I left 3M that my faith was shaken by:
 
 
THE TRUTH
 
 

No Prestige did not work better at an angle compared to other window films.

No Prestige did not reject 97% of the IR

No Prestige did not reject more heat than a dark silver reflective film.

Now this may seem like an esoteric argument with little to no impact on the larger world outside of window film; but (stick with me here) there is a crucial perception and a credibility issue at stake. (Mostly my own!)

I don’t like being fibbed to (there are stronger words!) and I can’t abide losing any business to a competitor that is either intentionally or through ignorance, misrepresenting their product’s performance. 

Now as the competitor against 3M Prestige that has become much more important.

Eastman Chemical the world leader in window film (by any measurement or standard) had tackled these issues with a series of technical reports and white papers almost immediately upon the launch of Prestige and the 3M marketing and supporting literature that their dealers utilize to support their selling efforts.
