As we transition into Spring here in Tampa Bay, the “honeymoon phase” of mild weather is quickly coming to a close.
For residents in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties, we know what’s coming: longer days, blinding glare, and that oppressive Florida heat that turns your beautiful living room into a greenhouse.
West, east and south facing glass receive the highest amount of exposure. Room temps can exceed 100 degrees and your AC fights as hard as it can to filter out the heat.
If you’ve been thinking about ways to make your home more comfortable, now is the strategic time to act. At Advanced Film Solutions, we don’t just “tint windows”—we provide high-tech glass solutions using the world’s leading brands like 3M Prestige, Eastman LLumar, Huper Optik, and Vista.
Your AC electric costs can be as high as your first mortgage and blinds, curtains and shutters do very little in factoring out this tropical heat.
If your home or condo has clear glass, you already know what this summer will deliver.
What you may not know is that Advanced Film Solutions can stop up to 85% of that outside heat from entering your windows, sliders, and glass doors.
Advanced Film Solutions is protecting more than 45,000 homes just like yours throughout the region.
Our thin films are applied to the interior side of the glass. These coatings stop heat at the glass by reflecting or filtering out the visible light and infrared wavelengths from the sun.
Here is why getting a free estimate today is the smartest move you can make for your home this season.
1. Slash Your Cooling Costs Before the Summer Spike
In Florida, air conditioning can account for over 50% of your monthly energy bill. Our high-performance films can block up to 80% of solar heat, which translates to a reduction in cooling costs by as much as 30%. By getting your estimate and installation done now, you start saving on your Duke Energy or TECO bills before the triple-digit temperatures arrive.
Advanced Film Solutions’ portfolio of films lets you select the perfect window film for your specific situation.
You make the choice determining the amount of light being filtered as well as the amount of interior and exterior reflectivity.
2. The Power of Choice: 3M, LLumar, and More
Many shops only carry one brand. We are the “Super Group” of window film, offering a massive portfolio that includes:
- 3M Prestige: Non-metallic nanotechnology that is actually less reflective than glass. It’s the gold standard for HOA-restricted communities because it doesn’t change the look of your home. 3M factors out more infrared heat than any other thin film technology and all without metals.
- Huper Optik: Advanced ceramic films that offer incredible heat rejection without the “mirror” look.
- LLumar & Vista: Known for superior optical clarity and a wide range of privacy and solar options.
We also offer non-reflective ceramic and IR heat blocking coatings that are less reflective than glass. These coatings meet all HOA rules and deed reflection.
Advanced Film Solutions installations are all NFRC certified for on-glass expectations and warranted for a lifetime.
If you have a glass warranty our manufacturer will take over the warranty so there are no worries about the film bubbling or losing the high clarity you demand.
Heat blocked, glare removed, and UV eliminated which preserves furnishing, carpets and wood floors.
3. Stop the “Silent Destroyer” (UV Rays)
Spring sunlight is deceptively strong. UV rays are responsible for 40% of the fading on your hardwood floors, leather furniture, and expensive artwork. Our films act as “SPF 1000” for your home, blocking 99.9% of harmful UV rays, protecting both your interior investments and your family’s skin.
- Heat stopped at glass.
- Glare eliminated from your TV and laptops.
- Energy costs reduced by 30%.
- UV eliminated.
- Shatter protection.
4. Enhance Your Home’s Safety and Security
Beyond the heat, Spring also signals the approach of storm season. We offer “Dual-Benefit” films—thicker membranes designed to hold shattered glass together. Whether it’s a stray golf ball, a flying branch during a summer squall, or a “smash-and-grab” intruder, our security films provide a critical layer of protection for your “envelope” (the glass).
