Thicker films hold glass in place against forced entry.

Larger windows or sliders can be further protected with glazing attachment systems that serve to hold the glass in place.

Security films are available in crystal clear transparent versions but most homeowners will select coatings that provide lower energy costs, glare and fade rejection.

Advanced Film Solutions represents the world’s leading solar security glazing film solutions including:

  • Madico and Sunscape Security Films
  • Avery-Dennison Security Window Film
  • SunTek Solar Security Window Film
  • Armorcoat by Saint-Gobain

Window Film Florida’s Superior Choice When Only The Best Will Do

Discriminating home owners know there are quantifiable performance differences between various window film solutions and providers.

Advanced Film Solutions competes directly against window film installers who frequently don’t measure up to the high standards smart homeowners demand:

Here is a brief check list for your review:

  1. Experience: How long has the window film company been in business and does this company have a physical location?
  2. Does the window film company carry the appropriate insurance credentials.
  3. Does the company have an A Plus Better Business Bureau rating?
  4. Does the window film company have direct employees rather than subs?
  5. Does the company have third party recommendations like Angie’s List Super Service Award (we have earned this accomplishment for 14 consecutive years!)

Concerning the window film selections:

  1. Does the film coating have a lifetime warranty or transferable warranty?
  2. Does the company warranty against glass breakage and seal failure?
  3. Does the film manufacturer acknowledge the status of the window film dealer? Are they in good standing and authorized.
  4. Does the film qualify for rebates?
  5. Does the film meet deed restrictions or HOA rules?

Advanced Film Solutions represents the finest window film solutions that are designed for the heat Florida homeowners face throughout the entire year.

Summer’s best window film:

Advanced Film Solutions. We know how to stop heat

Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota’s Secure Window Film Expert Installations

Making the decision to lower monthly electric costs by 30% and eliminating dangerous UV with today’s innovative window film just makes sense.

Determining which solar or solar security film to install and which company is best qualified to do the job is the critical challenge.

It helps to have experts guide you through the process and Advanced Film Solutions is best suited to accomplish this task.

After all our founder is the former National Sales Manager of 3M Window Film and was a columnist for Window Film Magazine (Dr. Of Tintology).

He was also an expert speaker at the IWFE in Reno.

Our team at Advanced Film Solutions has earned the Super Service Award from Angie’s List for 14  years and an A Plus rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Advanced Film Solutions does not promote one solution but rather offers our clients the “best of breed” coatings that deliver consumers the best value and technology.

This is the critical comparisons we have undertaken that supports the solutions we propose.

Safety & Security:

Strength and life safety are based on specific independent test results. 3M Ultra, 3M Prestige Ultra, Madico, LLumar, Vista, Armorcoat, SunTek and Hanita meet force protection as well as GSA blast criteria.  

From a security perimeter protection perspective all of these films will do the job. The question; rather your choice, is the appearance of the film.

Silver, Neutral, dual reflective or clear versions are available in dozens of light transmissions.

Several versions have UL approval and FM Global insurance benefits.

Several versions qualified for TECO rebates as well and Federal Tax incentives.

Solar films from 3M Prestige. Eastman Chemical like Vista, and Huper Optik for deed restricted communities.

Madico and their elite Sunscape portfolio.

Avery-Dennison Hanita solar security film made in Israel.

Our team will never do dog and pony gimmicks to get your trust. We deal in NFRC facts and documented results.

We won’t show you French Fry Heat Lamps with rigged BTU meters or pretend our tear resistant film out protects thicker tested safer versions.

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.
