Home Shatter Solar Security Window Film Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota

Advanced Film Solutions has completed more than 45,500 homes and business window film installations since we launched Advanced Film Solutions 18 years ago.

CollageiiOne of the more surprising aspects of our home installations has been the volume of homes that have single pane clear glass on their front entry door and a thin glass side lite running vertically adjacent to the door handle and lock.

A burglar can break through this glass in 5 seconds and easily reach the lock and enter your home.
 

The majority of our clients ask us to fix their heat problems , glare and UV fading .

For homes with clear glass on the front doors we recommend an application of safety and security film by Vista. 

You should also consider our 3M Prestige Ultra or 3M Scotchshield Ultra clear and solar combination window film.

  • The application of these 8 ML thick security films makes it much more difficult for thieves to enter your home.

  • Tinted versions can provide privacy from the street.

  • Opaque versions can be installed that provide 24/7 privacy

  • Sliders can be reinforced with these thicker security films as well as a pool bath door.

Safety and security films will not interfere with motion detectors or window alarm systems.

Glass with LLumar® Solar Safety and Security Film has an extra layer of protection that reinforces windows and helps hold dangerous glass shards together if shattered. It helps protect against multiple safety and security threats:

  • Break-ins
  • Extreme weather
  • Explosive blasts, and
  • Everyday accidents.

LLumar Solar Safety and Security Film offers solar benefits too, so it’s like two films in one.

It helps make occupants more comfortable by combining reassuring safety benefits with the power to filter the sun’s heat, reduce glare, and block more than 99% of damaging UV rays.

Security Window Film, Florida Advanced Film Solutions Installations

Advanced Film Solutions is Tampa, Orlando and Sarasota’s premier installer of clear and tinted safety and security window film.

These clear (and solar) films provide impact resistance and tensile strength and protect store and home interior from break-in and anti-spalling of flying glass.

Typical installations on retail storefronts employ the optional fastening systems that create a window system. This further enhances the security protection since the glass will not easily separate from the steel or aluminum storefront frames.

The film acts a little like the PVB interlayer in laminated glass and holds the glass together when it’s broken.

Another security use, which you may have seen at your workplace, is to mitigate the effects of a bomb blast, by preventing shards of glass flying around the inside of a building and causing injury or falling onto the pavements below.

Glazing Protection Window Tinting Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota

Many schools, hospitals and government buildings management are considering the application of security window film at main entrances and ground floor accessible windows.

These thicker (minimum 8 ML) film is professionally applied to the existing window pane.

The film is attached to the frame so that in the event the window is shattered, the film system will keep the glass in the opening, making it much more difficult for an intruder to gain access.


Glass is the weakest and most inviting point of entry.

Slowing down or stopping entry can mean the difference between tragedy and life safety!

Advanced Film Solutions provides window protection and solar tinting combination window film in the Tampa, Lakeland and Orlando area.

Commercial installations like the VA Hospital and USF and thousands of retail stores and homes have been protected by Advanced Film Solutions.

There are numerous alternatives in the appearance of these coatings. Many clients prefer the invisible versions for maximum visibility.

On the other hand there are scenarios where privacy is extremely critical.

In these situations we recommend a host of reflective versions that provide the safety requirements while lowering energy costs, eliminating glare and offering the same shatter capabilities.

Frankly no other Florida company offers as many choices!
