Fast ROI, Window Tinting For Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota Properties

Leave a reply

Commercial property managers have long appreciated the value of aftermarket applications of window film. 

 

Energy costs continue to increase and a large percentage of operating costs are associated with heating and cooling your facility.

Historically window film has provided an admirable job of factoring out heat gain. This reduced energy consumption, balanced your facility by eliminating hot and cold spots while factoring nearly 100% of the UV from entering the building.

Life cycle costs compared most favorably since the new technology films are durable and warranted for 15 years.

The improved tenant and employee satisfaction and the streamlines appearance of the facility from the exterior view served to enhance property value.

The one weak area was the impact solar control films had on winter heating costs as well as the reduced daylighting that a facility would receive particularly if darker light transmissions were installed on the glass.

Limiting daylighting tends to increase interior lighting requirements and frankly the reduction in solar heat during the winter had a negative impact on energy usage.

  • Is there a difference in the optical clarity of one film versus another?
     
    There are differences in optical clarity between the various window film brands. Advanced Film Solutions recommends VISTA, LLumar and Huper Optik Films that offer pristine clarity and unmatched durability.

  • When in doubt; we recommend that you compare the actual window film being proposed in a side-by-side comparison. Advanced Film Solutions has never lost this “see for yourself” comparison.

  • How about reflectivity?
    Most manufacturers produce reflective, dual reflective and non reflective window films to meet a variety of consumer requirements.
  • Reflective metallic films are effective in keeping the heat from entering your home.Advanced Film Solutions recommends our Vista dual reflectives based on the heat rejection, durability and optical clarity that are mandatory for Interior Designers.

  • Non-Reflective Films:

    Ideal for HOA rules and deed restrictions the best alternative is Huper Optik.  They have outstanding durability, clarity and superior heat rejection.

    Huper Optik is available in a wide range of light transmissions and all are less reflective than glass.

  • We have seen 3M Prestige at Home Depot and they claim that this film works better at an angle (like when the Sun is at 3 PM or 9 AM) they also claimed that their film blocks more heat than silver reflective films or very dark films. Is this accurate?

    The short answer is an emphatic – NO!

  • All window films and glass itself appear to work better when the heat source is at an angle to the glass. This is not unique to 3M Prestige Film or frankly any window film.

  • But we saw a heat lamp demo and we could actually feel a dramatic reduction in heat with a clear Prestige Film? Seeing is believing!How could such a great demo be inaccurate or misleading?

  • The trick is fairly easy to explain. 

    The french fry lamp blasts IR heat in a narrow wavelength. The Prestige film blocks IR wavelengths in this bandwidth.

    The BTU meter is configured to measure IR heat in that specific wavelength.  In other words it’s a snake oil trick.Collage

Summary:

There are important differences between the various window film solutions available.

We win supported by facts over perception and our clients reap the reward of a lifetime of comfort and energy cost savings.
