The More You Know: Tampa Window Tinting Answers

The more you know about window tinting, or rather window film, the better your decision will be when deciding which company to contract with to solve your glass problems.

Let’s take a moment to clear the air about what facts you should consider when making this important choice:

All window films are not the same.
Eastman Overview

The industry leader is Eastman Chemical.

This American based company has the largest market share, the most innovative technologies and the most stringent requirements for who they choose to represent them in our local market.
There are obviously other choices.
You may be familiar with the 3M brand and might think they are a practical alternative. As the former National Sales Manager of 3M Window Film, I’d refer you to the following considerations:

3M does not manufacture a majority of the films they package. Window film is not a major channel for this company. As such they promote the brand and hope that consumers will purchase based on the perception that they produce these films.

They do not.
There are measurable differences between the actual on glass performance of window film alternatives.
All Eastman films are NFRC certified.

As a consumer-focused business, Advanced Film Solutions has access to these generic window film products.
