Is your retail storefront prepared for the relentless Florida sun?
For properties with windows facing East, West, or South, the daily “sunlight assault” is more than just a nuisance—it is a direct threat to your bottom line.
At Advanced Film Solutions, we specialize in high-performance solar and shatter-resistant window films designed to protect your investment immediately.
This is particularly true if your storefront faces east, west or south.
Advanced Film Solutions tackles this need with our solar and solar safety window film.
The Cost of Unfiltered Sunlight
Retailers face unique challenges when dealing with large glass storefronts. While natural light is inviting, the side effects can be devastating:
Soaring Energy Costs: Your HVAC system shouldn’t have to work overtime to combat the “greenhouse effect” created by large glass panes.
Inventory Destruction: UV rays and solar heat are the primary causes of fading. Whether you sell high-end fashion, home furnishings, or packaged goods, the sun can ruin your floor displays in a single season.
The “Glare” Factor: Unrelenting glare makes it difficult for customers to see your displays from the street and creates an uncomfortable environment for employees working near the windows.
Advanced Technology: 3M and Eastman Solutions
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our team utilizes industry-leading technology from 3M and Eastman Chemical to provide spectrally selective coatings. These films are engineered to:
- Hot interiors that your AC can’t keep up with. Our film solutions can stop 85% of the heat from entering your store.
- Glare throughout the day. We can filter out 95% of the glare!
- Faded inventory from the heat, light and UV.
We stop 99.9% of the UV at the glass. - High cooling costs. We can factor out 50% of your cooling costs and lower your electric bill by 30% a month!
- Privacy for specific retailers that don’t want ground level visibility.
- Shatter glass protection that our thicker security films are built to handle.
Added Security: Our sun and shatter films do double duty. Not only do they manage the climate, but they also provide a critical layer of protection against smash-and-grab burglaries or severe weather events by holding shattered glass in place.
These thicker films will deny, delay and deter smash and grab burglars!
Advanced Film Solutions will assist you in determining the best window film solution for your unique requirements.
While the performance benefits of window film are functional, the visual impact on your building’s exterior—your curb appeal—is a vital competitive advantage for any retail storefront.
Here is the updated detail for your blog and marketing materials:
Elevate Your Brand with Superior Curb Appeal
In retail, first impressions are everything. A storefront that looks dated, cluttered with makeshift blinds, or obscured by dark, “bubbly” old-fashioned tint can drive potential customers away. Our advanced 3M and Eastman solutions offer a sophisticated aesthetic upgrade:
- The “Invisible” Shield: For owners who want to maintain a welcoming, open-concept look, our spectrally selective films are virtually clear. They provide maximum heat rejection without changing the appearance of your glass, allowing your window displays to remain perfectly visible from the sidewalk.
- Modern, Uniform Aesthetic: High-performance film provides a clean, consistent look across all glass surfaces. It eliminates the need for unsightly interior shades or heavy drapes that block your products and make your store look closed from a distance.
- Refined Exterior Finishes: For properties looking for a more modern, “high-tech” look, we offer subtle dual-reflective options that provide a crisp, polished exterior finish while maintaining excellent interior clarity and natural light.
Transparency Meets Performance
A storefront should be a beacon for shoppers. By installing high-performance film, you no longer have to choose between a cool interior and a visible display. You can showcase your newest arrivals in bright, natural light without the fear of the sun destroying your “hero” products.
Advanced Film Solutions ensures that your building looks as professional on the outside as it feels on the inside.
We offer the widest and deepest inventory of the latest technology including nanoceramic and spectrally selective window film manufactured by 3M and Eastman Chemical.
You will select from light transmissions that can maintain the visibility through your glass to darker reflective coatings and designer frost opaque films where privacy is critically important.
Our window film is warranted for years against color change, bubbling or peeling.
