Security Glazing Window Film, Forced Entry Protection, Florida

Leave a reply

Advanced Film Solutions is Florida’s leading window film installation company focused on reinforcing commercial and residential glass openings.

Thicker (8 ML) glazing security films have documented safety improvements compared to unprotected glass. These coatings hold glass in place during a forced entry attack which can be the result of burglary, vandalism, terrorism or violent intentions.

Advanced Film Solutions represents the leading suppliers of safety and security glazing films. These solutions include:

  • LLumar and Vista Security Films manufactured by Eastman Chemical
  • Madico and Sunscape
  • Armorcoat by Saint-Gobain
  • SunTek by Eastman
  • Huper Optik by Eastman
  • Johnson Window Film
  • Avery-Dennison Hanita (manufactured in Israel)

Independent testing documentation is available for all of these solutions covering Federal Government GSA and DOD standards as well as ASTM and UL testing.

It should be noted that typical testing is done with wet sealant attachment systems, notably Dow Corning 995 structural silicone (the industry standard)

It should also be noted that the solar versions of these coatings, IE security glazing films that also feature solar properties for reduced energy usage and or privacy elements meet the same security life safety criteria.

Landmark institutions and buildings throughout the world utilize these systems.

Recent horrific events at schools in the USA have also heightened the awareness of the advantages for implementing these systems when replacing entry level glass is cost prohibitive.

As a personal aside it should be mentioned that 3M security window film offers no additional life safety advantages in in their thinner iterations (5 ml) they are promoting weaker solutions.

Further their solar security combination films are limited to a small number of choices and their attachment systems offer no addition safety or security benefits despite an unusual price premium or suggested improvements in life safety based on micro-layering technology.

Advanced Film Solutions is happy to provide documentation highlighting and demonstrating these facts.

Security glazing window film is a practical, affordable and functional choice for property managers, security and campus facility managers who require force protection, window hardening, fragment retention and intrusion protection.

Advanced Film Solutions has been installing security window films at a record pace during the recent few weeks. 

 

We install thicker 8 ML shatter resistant films that delay, deter and deny entry reinforcing  the weakest link in your perimeter protection;

YOUR GLASS!

As Tampa’s leading window film source we install tested and certified films by the world leaders in security film technology.


LLumar Magnum:  LLumar Magnum films use DuPont Mylar polyester to build UL972 approved films.

These films are Factory Global approved and are available in tinted versions that qualify for Window Film Rebates.

Vista Film: Manufactured by Eastman Performance Films using DuPont poly; these films are less reflective from the interior view than the economically priced LLumar series. 

VISTA offers designer films that meet a higher aesthetic demand and are perfect for the home!

 

Armorcoat: One of the true security film leaders these films are used at military bases, the Capitol Building and Federal Buildings like the Department of Energy and the FBI Building. You can’t get more security concerned than the FEDS!

They selected Armorcoat for good reason.  These films meet the blast testing and GSA testing standards and are optically clear.

If privacy is a concern Armorcoat has tinted and reflective iterations.

SunTek: Economically priced and particularly attractive to commercial concerns these films are thick and priced to move.  SunTek has met GSA Blast standards and passes the ASTM 1886 B standard

Avery- Dennison, Hanita:  Manufactured in Israel, these shatter films are the primary choice for blast protection. Thicker than standard security films the Israelis understand blast protection and fragment retention better than manufacturers located in more peaceful environments.

Advanced Film offers these films and more.

These films are not all the same. There are nuances in the look and reflectivity as well as energy performance and color/hue

Glass Burglary Glass Protection Window Film Safer Tampa, Clearwater Stores

Leave a reply

As we approach the end of summer, retail stores across the region are taking preparations for increasing security protection for assets and people.


Advanced Film Solutions can limit losses with the installation of clear (or solar tinted) thick shatter control window film.

These films create an invisible barrier that reinforces the glass making it much more difficult for thieves to shatter the windows or doors and gain easy access into the retail store.

 

We also secure the perimeter of the glass where the film meets the frames using a structural silicone sealant that further strengthens the glass/frame/film attachment.
These are economically priced solutions that won’t detract from the curb appeal of your store. 

The tinted versions that combine effective solar properties that cut glare, heat and UV  may be a wise decision since lowered electric costs and improved comfort can make your store inviting.

Many of us have been spending a great deal more time at home so you really can appreciate the rooms that get too hot or bright during the day.

Vista Films: These designer recommended films are far less reflective from an interior perspective. 

Safe for IG units and with an automatically transferable lifetime warranty.  Optical clarity that is outstanding!

Armorcoat offers economically priced stainless films in multiple light transmissions.
