Shatter Sun Control Window Film Tampa Bay Region Gets Christmas Ready


Safety and security experts recommend the application of thicker (8ML+) shatter resistant window film for perimeter protection on retail stores, offices, government and financial buildings and most recently school facilities.

These films provide protection from forced entry, smash and grab crime, vandalism and blast events.

You might be surprised to discover that you can protect your home, business, religious center or non-profit with the exact same films that protect the US Capitol (Armorcoat) US Embassies (Madico) and high profile landmark buildings across the nation (LLumar.)

We also represent the 3M Prestige Ultra and 3M clear and Night Vision Ultra series. The Prestige film is ideal for deed restricted, gated communities since they are non-reflective.

These films meet the GSA Level 3A and DoD requirements and the following independent testing criteria:

For example the world leading LLumar & Vista dual reflective 28/38 (Eastman Chemical) offers safety films meeting numerous certifications and test standards in the United States, Europe and around the world, including:

  • ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Cat I and II
  • General Services Administration (GSA) and United Facilities Criteria (UFC)
  • ASTM Large Missile Level C and Small Missile requirements
  • Underwriters Laboratory UL972 Forced Entry requirements
  • Factory Mutual FM Approvals 4350 Small Missile
  • EN356, level P2A

There are numerous advantages for the retrofit application of these coatings.  The practical ease of installation means your property gets immediate protection for the existing windows and entry doors.

Given the considerable budget amount required and capitol expense for replacing the glass with laminated safety windows the ROI of window film is exceptional.prepare

These films are used on military bases, army recruiting offices and Federal buildings throughout the USA.

These very same coatings protect major retail stores as well as landmark buildings throughout the world.

The coatings Advanced Film Solutions installs are exactly the same thickness with exactly the same attachment systems.

Considerations:
 

While we are focused on life safety issues it should also be noted that these films are available in tinted versions that will lower utility costs, eliminate UV and earn local rebates from power companies. 

These coatings serve to “green” your home or facility and may qualify for grants and Federal tax incentives.

The solar control versions meet the same level of security as the clear versions so you will not be sacrificing safety.

Glass Shatter Solar Protective Window Film For Safer Homes

When it comes down to safety and security the thicker the window film the better.

That’s why Advanced Film Solutions recommends the 8 ML thick clear and solar safety security window films manufactured by global window film leaders 3M, Eastman Chemical, Armorcoat, Madico, Hanita, Johnson and Suntek.

The 8 ML thickness has become the industry standard because these films meet a superior level of security when tested to GSA, DoD and ASTM standards.

Thinner films like 4, 5 and most 6 ML films do not meet this security level.  Be certain to confirm that a competitors film is not thinner than 8 ML.

Solar security films are designed to withstand impact and provide energy solar savings by filtering out heat gain while simultaneously doing their security function.

Window film can be attached to metal frames like storefront windows or sliders by using a wet sealant Dow 995 system.

These attachment systems have provided that additional measure of protection to keep glass lites in the frame.

Advanced Film Solutions team of installers is fully equipped and trained in all aspects of security glazing installations.

Our residential warranty is lifetime and most commercial warranties are 10, 12 or 15 years.
