Eye Strain- Headaches-Discomfort

 
The heat is on for most commercial office buildings and retail stores.
 

 
 
  • Glare makes it difficult to read computer screens. Fatigue and eye strain lead to headaches and employee complaints.

  • Cold spots and hot spots in the building add to the discomfort. Our cooling systems are ill equipped to handle winter months and employees complain about feeling sick while freezing or melting to death.

  • Fading of office furnishings, carpets and paintings. Damage is costly in a bottom line sense as well as in the impression your company offers to important management and visitors.

  • The curb appeal of your offices are compromised. Boxes and files are visible from the street.
  • Electric costs to heat or cool a large commercial office building are prohibitive. This affects your profitability and tenant satisfaction if these costs are deferred to your clients.

  •  Safety and security: certainly commercial and retail offices are prone to smash and grab crime, vandalism.

     
    Advanced Film Solutions  delivers energy savings, comfort and a balanced interior climate. 

When the employees were advised that their days of glare and eye strain were soon to be ended- -they applauded!

Cheap Window Tinting: Tampa Bay Consumers Buyer Beware

It’s interesting when you view the dynamics of the window tinting business from a consumer perspective.

 
1235000_642991412401000_590230546_n

There are Flea Market window tint shops (and moonlighters that work from a truck) who carry low quality, low cost tints that have a questionable pedigree (to say the least!)

How will they honor their warranty should anything go wrong? Will their no name product survive against the intense Florida heat?

Obviously, these cheap films are available to Advanced Film Solutions!

We prefer the NFRC rated 3M Prestige, Eastman Chemical’s VISTA and Huper Optik for homes and commercial clients and FormulaOne for our automotive clients! 

Hey. . have I got a deal for you!


The low ball tinters typically show specification sheets that give the illusion that their films are equal to the NFRC Certified VISTA or Huper Optik Films.

The low cost films are made with lower quality polyesters and adhesives.  The scratch coating is inferior and the useful life of the product is very limited.

Always remember Caveat Emptor! (Buyer Beware!)

Sun Heat Combination Shatter Control 3M Window Film Florida Built


Glass entrance doors and storefront glazing were built to allow openness and visibility for retail stores, office buildings, hospitals health care institutions and notably school campus buildings.

(Lessons Learned From Sandy Hook)
 

Unfortunately recent events have focused attention on methods for improved safety and security since glass is easily breached with ballistic weapons and personnel and property can be damaged by blast spalling, debris and flying glass.

It’s time to implement solutions to protect our most important assets; our children, friends and neighbors!
 
 
Glass doors are also frequently subject to graffiti and scratches through normal usage.
 
 


Advanced Film Solutions installs thicker (8 ML plus) glazing films on your existing glass entry doors and windows.  These coatings are anchored to the frames creating a system that withstands high impact, blast and intrusion.

Our 3M Scotchshield Ultra and 3M Prestige Ultra are top of mind for asset protection managers throughout the USA. The recent addition of the 3M 24 Ml shatter film has raised the bar for shatter resistance!

 

The key objective is to delay, deny and deter entry.

Our window film meets that objective at an economical cost and a swift implementation process.

Certainly administration officials and concerned parties should discuss long range plans that may include laminated glass or reducing the window envelope throughout your buildings.  These are alternatives that may suit your budget or security concerns if there are extenuating circumstances.

Nevertheless our security glazing films have been installed on US Embassy, Federal Buildings, Airports and local landmark buildings, retail stores and county government offices throughout Florida and the USA.

 

Property management and facility security personnel can decide upon the level of visibility into the facility since we offer a wide range of alternatives.

Transparent clear coatings maintain the appearance of your building but many decision makers select modestly tinted security films to reduce glare and improve interior comfort.

ss

In many cases security management will select privacy versions so intruders can not observe students or employees which protects them from being targeted from the exterior.

Our coatings have been independently tested for GSA, DoD, ASTM and UL facility criteria and guidelines.
