For condominium associations and HOA boards, managing common areas requires a strategic balance between maintaining high architectural aesthetics, reducing long-term operational overhead, and maximizing resident comfort.
When a large condominium association recently came to the conclusion that the worn-out window film in their buildings’ common areas desperately needed to be replaced, the Board of Directors initiated a rigorous selection process. The objective was clear: find an elite commercial contractor capable of seamlessly executing the removal and replacement of a 30-year-old window tinting system.
The Advanced Solution: Eastman LLumar Dual-Reflective Technology
To replace the outdated material, Advanced Film Solutions installed premium Eastman LLumar Dual-Reflective Window Film. This state-of-the-art coating is engineered specifically to combat extreme solar heat and blinding glare right at the glass boundary.
Unlike old-fashioned dark tints that can create an unnatural or gloomy indoor atmosphere, LLumar’s dual-reflective composition maintains spectacular, crisp optical clarity from the inside out—even during evening hours—while providing a sophisticated, uniform exterior appearance that elevates the condominium’s modern profile.
The Advanced Film Solutions team seamlessly installed this beautifully clear coating with craftsman-like skill. Today, the Condominium Association is enthusiastic in their appreciation of the transformation.
What the New Eastman LLumar Film Delivers:
By upgrading to modern, commercial-grade window film technology, the association secured a massive array of long-term benefits:
- 70% Heat Rejection: Stops intense solar energy before it enters the building, preventing uncomfortable heat pockets in large lobbies, clubhouses, and hallways.
- Lower Electric Cooling Costs: Dramatically reduces the load on the building’s HVAC units, leading to immediate, quantifiable savings on the association’s utility bills.
- 75% Glare Rejection: Restores visual comfort to common areas, making it easier for residents to enjoy community spaces, view TV screens, or work on mobile devices without blinding glare.
- 99.9% UV Rejection: Filters out harmful ultraviolet rays, providing vital protection against the fading and deterioration of expensive common-area carpets, artwork, and designer furnishings.
- Shatter Protection: Adds a critical layer of safety by holding glass fragments firmly together against high winds, severe weather, and flying debris.
- Lifetime Warranty: Offers complete peace of mind to the Board and property managers with a commercial-grade longevity guarantee backed directly by Eastman.
