Transform Your Tampa Bay Retail Store with 3M and LLumar Window Films

Florida’s beautiful, year-round sunshine is great for tourism, but for retail stores with large storefronts, it can present some serious challenges. Intense glare, excessive heat, and the constant threat of sun damage can make your space uncomfortable, drive up energy costs, and even ruin your valuable merchandise.

At Advanced Film Solutions, we understand these challenges. As a leading installer of premium window films in the greater Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Sarasota regions, we offer dynamic solutions from industry giants 3M and LLumar to solve these exact problems.

The Problem: Glare, Heat, and UV Damage

Blinding Glare: The sun’s glare can be a major distraction for both your employees and customers. It can make it difficult to see computer screens, read product labels, and even just navigate the store comfortably, which can lead to a less enjoyable shopping experience.
Excessive Heat: Large windows act like a magnifying glass, trapping heat inside and causing “hot spots” that put a strain on your HVAC system. This leads to high energy bills and an uneven, uncomfortable environment for everyone.
Fading Merchandise: Ultraviolet (UV) rays are the silent destroyers of your interior. They cause colors to fade on clothing, furniture, flooring, and displays. Without protection, your inventory can be devalued in a matter of months.

The Solution: 3M and LLumar Window Films

Both 3M and LLumar are trusted, high-performance brands that provide a comprehensive solution for these issues. While they each have unique features, both are engineered to deliver outstanding results.

3M Window Films

3M, a world leader in adhesive technology, offers a variety of commercial window films designed to enhance comfort and protection.

Superior Heat and UV Rejection: 3M’s films, like the Prestige Series, are scientifically proven to reduce heat-producing infrared rays and block up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays. This keeps your store cooler, lowers cooling costs, and protects your merchandise from fading.
Glare Reduction: 3M films cut down on harsh glare, creating a more comfortable and productive environment. This means a better experience for customers and less eye strain for your staff.

Aesthetic and Privacy Options: Beyond their functional benefits, 3M films like the Fasara™ Glass Finishes can mimic the look of frosted or etched glass, offering a stylish way to add privacy to your space. You can even customize them with your company logo for a unique look.

LLumar Window Films

Manufactured by Eastman Chemical, LLumar films are known for their exceptional performance, clarity, and durability.

Exceptional Solar Control: LLumar solar control films are highly effective at controlling heat and glare. Their advanced nano-ceramic technology filters out a significant amount of solar energy and up to 99.9% of UV rays, providing a more comfortable and energy-efficient space.
Enhanced Clarity: LLumar films are celebrated for their optical clarity, ensuring you don’t have to sacrifice your view for comfort. This is particularly important for retail storefronts that rely on clear displays to attract customers.
Security and Safety: In addition to solar control, LLumar offers safety and security films. These films are designed to hold shattered glass together, providing an added layer of protection against break-ins, vandalism, and extreme weather, giving you peace of mind.
