Advanced Film Solutions is Florida’s leading residential and commercial window film installation company.
Halloween season brings cool autumn breezes to many parts of the country—but here across Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Sarasota, Florida heat and intense sunshine remain a year-round reality.
If glare, skyrocketing electric bills, or faded furniture are giving you a scare, you don’t need to embark on a costly window replacement project. At Advanced Film Solutions, our team of window film experts transforms existing windows and sliding glass doors into high-performance glazing using industry-leading solar thin films from 3M and Eastman (LLumar & Vista).
Our objective is to offer the very best solutions that match our clients’ requirements.
Why Upgrade Your Windows with 3M & Eastman Thin Films?
Standard single-pane or dual-pane glass lets in vast amounts of solar radiation. Applying spectrally selective solar films from top global manufacturers like 3M and Eastman delivers multi-layered protection without changing the exterior aesthetic of your home or office.
We are unique by stocking window film made by 3M as well as the Eastman Chemical portfolio that includes LLumar, Vista, Huper Optik and SunTek.
1. Significant Energy Savings & Lower Utility Bills
Solar heat entering through windows is responsible for up to one-third of residential cooling costs.
- 3M Sun Control & All-Season Films reject up to 78% of total solar heat, cutting down the workload on your HVAC system.
- Eastman Performance Films (including LLumar and Vista) stabilize indoor room temperatures, helping eliminate localized “hot spots” near sunny slider doors and large windows.
- Result: A cooler home and noticeable savings on monthly energy bills year-round.
2. 99.9% UV Protection for Your Family & Furnishings
Ultraviolet radiation damages skin and causes rapid fading of interior floors, rugs, curtains, and artwork.
- Both 3M and Eastman solar thin films block more than 99% of harmful UV rays.
- Protect your skin—many Eastman LLumar films even carry the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation.
- Preserve expensive furniture, hardwood floors, and drapes from premature aging and fading.
3. Maximum Glare Reduction Without Sacrificing Views
Blinding sun glares can make watching TV or working on screens frustrating, prompting many homeowners to close their blinds and live in the dark.
- Non-reflective ceramic and micro-layered film technologies cut annoying daytime glare while maintaining crystal-clear views to the outdoors.
- You get natural daylighting inside without the blinding brightness or unwanted solar heat.
4. Added Safety, Security & Storm Resilience
Windows and sliding glass doors are often the most vulnerable entry points in a building.
- 3M Scotchshield and Eastman Safety & Security Films hold shattered glass fragments together in the event of an impact, flying debris, or break-in attempts.
- Enhances occupant safety against accidental impacts and severe Florida storm weather.
