Newer homes throughout the greater Tampa Bay area are designed to allow an abundance of light into the living space.
The upside for open design interiors with floor to ceiling sliders and aquarium glass windows in the breakfast nook is that wonderful view.
Unfortunately, the downside are overheated rooms, annoying glare and eye strain on your TV screen and in many homes a loss of daytime privacy.
While natural light is wonderful, harsh glare can make it difficult to watch TV, work on your computer, or even just relax and enjoy the view. 3M window film significantly reduces glare without sacrificing natural light, allowing you to enjoy the sunshine without the squint.
Advanced Film Solutions rectifies these problems with an optically transparent durable window film application that transforms your home’s windows and sliders into energy smart and efficient, glare and UV free glass.
Heat:
Advanced Film Solutions offers coatings that will provide daytime privacy. These films from Eastman Chemical and 3M present a reflective appearance from the exterior view but a reduced reflectivity from the interior perspective.
3M Night Vision, Vista Luminance, Celeste, Mirage and LLumar DR Earth tone series are available in a range of light transmissions that will match your specific requirements.
Many homeowners prefer that the heat be removed without changing the appearance of their windows or sliders. We strongly recommend the 3M Prestige Multilayered Optical Films or the Eastman Huper Optik Nanoceramic coatings.
These are unique IR heat blocking coatings that factor out IR heat and a range of visible light rejection without metals or addition interior or exterior reflectivity.
Did you know that harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can penetrate your windows, causing fading and damage to your furniture, flooring, artwork, and even contribute to skin damage?
3M window films block up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays, protecting your valuable belongings and your family’s health.
As such 3M Prestige meets all HOA rules and deed restrictions that our clients who reside in gated communities require.
Obviously West and Central Florida homeowners face the additional challenge of storm protection from June until November.
3M Prestige Ultra series takes window film to the next level by offering significant shatter resistance.
In the event of high winds and flying debris:
- Helps Prevent Window Breakage: The strong adhesive and thicker construction of Prestige Ultra film helps hold shattered glass together, reducing the risk of dangerous flying shards entering your home.
- Adds a Layer of Security: By making your windows more resistant to impact, Prestige Ultra can also deter potential intruders.
Advanced Film Solutions shatter resistant solar security films are designed to maintain the integrity of your sliders and windows.
Glass is held into their frames with thicker solar shatter films like 3M Prestige Ultra, 3M Scotchshield, LLumar Magnum, Vista or Madico.
One of the biggest issues to deal with after a windstorm is the damage done by the elements that
penetrate the glazing. If the glass can remain in the frame, fewer elements will be able to penetrate the
building shell, helping you to bring the property back up to operational sooner.
Safety and security window films can be an effective way of fortifying glazed openings against impact by windborne debris. Many films have been tested according to the prevailing test standards for impact resistance. Micro layered safety films have been tested up to 70 pounds per sq. ft. design pressure (or 165-mph winds). A window system must pass both the missile impact and the pressure cycle tests to be considered for windstorm. 3M, Eastman LLumar and Vista meet this level of performance.
All of our dual benefit films are NFRC certified, and all meet small and medium missile, wind cycling ASTM testing results.
We highly recommend that our clients consider these shatter solar films not simply for hurricane season but as a home security anti-intrusion improvement that will perform covertly throughout the entire year.
Our solar secure window film lowers electric cooling costs by as much as 30% a month so you’ll enjoy a fast return on your investment.
Advanced Film Solutions has completed more than 40,000 window film installations throughout Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Citrus, Hernando, Manatee, Sarasota, Orange and Seminole counties.
We have earned an A Plus Rating with the Better Business Bureau and nearly 600, 5-Star Ratings on GOOGLE.
Investing in 3M window film from Advanced Film Solutions is a smart decision for Florida homeowners looking to improve their home’s comfort, energy efficiency, protection, and privacy.
Whether you choose the heat and glare-reducing power of the 3M Night Vision or 3M Prestige series or the added hurricane wind protection of the Prestige Ultra line, you’ll be making a valuable investment in your home and your family’s well-being and comfort.
If you have a second story home, you face the cost and difficulty in having storm shutters installed on the exterior of your second-floor windows. Advanced Film Solutions shatter solar 3M and Eastman Film will hold glass in place and prevent winds and rain from entering your home.
