A key concern for many property managers is increased protection of tenant property and assets from burglary and weather induced shattered glass.

Installation of clear LLumar Security Glazing Film
 


Certainly alarm systems detect a breach and the alarms do limit the amount of time thieves will linger at a targeted location.

Nevertheless, reinforcing your glass with our safety and security glazing films is an obvious, economically beneficial alternative. How long will it take for law enforcement to respond?

Glass Protection Window Film For Safer Tampa Bay, Sarasota, & Orlando Homes

Security Window Film strengthens your home security defense by maintaining the structural integrity of the glass.

These thicker (8ML+) films also perform the same solar features you’d expect to find in thinner solar versions.

 

There is a modest up front cost for these dual benefit films but this investment is rewarded by the added safety and security that these glazing protection films provide.

Advanced Film Solutions shatter films block solar energy in the same manner as the thinner solar only versions. 

The thicker mylar films have incredible puncture strength and more aggressive adhesives.

These films when properly installed (optional fastening systems should be considered for larger window openings and sliders!) hold glass in place against intrusion and impact. 

In fact these are the very same films that protect government buildings throughout the world.

Advanced Film Solutions Tampa Glass Protection, Burglar, Smash & Grab Window Tinting

Retail store owners are painfully aware of the rising burglary rates.

Automotive stores, Pizza shops, pharmacies, restaurants you name it!

Office park break-ins.
 

The weak link?
 
 

Storefront glass windows.

Obviously there are methods for limiting the potential threat.

Better lighting stronger locks, security patrols and alarm systems alerting law enforcement.

Advanced Film Solutions provides superior installation of thicker (8ML) shatter control window film.

Windows can be broken for a variety of reasons such as burglary, vandalism and flying debris. There’s no doubt that window film can dramatically increase the strength of your windows and keep your glass in place when broken.

Safety and security coatings can harden the windows of your home or office designed to delay, deny and deter entry.

Protective window film helps guard against:

  • Bomb blast and severe weather – helps reduce damage and likelihood of injury from flying glass.
  • Flying debris from high winds.
  • Forced entry – makes it harder for thieves to “smash and grab” retail display merchandise
  • Graffiti – when vandals strike, the transparent film is peeled away –along with the graffiti

The leading security film solutions in the industry.

We have seen a spike in the number of installations geared to improving the glass protection of homes and businesses against burglary.

While FBI statistics seem to point to only a modest increase in burglaries, the clients we have interviewed have direct experience with home break-ins in their own neighborhood!

How thicker shatter films work?
 
 

Thicker safety and security window films hold the glass in place against forced entry. Glass- film- and frames can be reinforced using attachment systems. 

Formerly vulnerable rear windows and doors are now much harder to penetrate. 

This has the effect of slowing down would be intruders and allowing your home or business security system to sound the alarm.

Many consumers request versions that offer solar reduction properties or reflective films for privacy.

These films lower your monthly cooling costs by as much as 30% !

At minimum we recommend 8 ML thick films. 

While many manufacturers do make a 4 ML version, the thicker versions offer much greater puncture strength and tensile strength.

Secure Facilities With Fragment Retention Window Film Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota

Our crews were busy installing our 8 ML safety and security fragment film on the windows of a high profile government contractor building.

 

Our client needed a coating that meets the GSA criteria and Advanced Film Solutions is unique by offering more choices than any other installation company in Florida.

We consulted with the management team and pointed out that several iterations of security film were available in a solar version that provides heat, glare and energy savings along with the required security.

Shattered glass can also be a risk to buildings that may not necessarily be a target for a bomb blast, but are in the vicinity of a building that is.

Commercial and government interests should also consider our 3M Scotchshield and 3M Ultra security window film series of films. This includes the Prestige Ultra film that stops heat at the glass!

In other words, if a threat assessment shows that there are high-profile targets nearby, applying security film to the windows makes sense to protect against residual blast effects.

 
Choices and experience are the foundation for our team’s success.
