Solar Shatter Window Film Protecting Tampa Region Homes & Stores

Leave a reply

As we reached 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.

Protective Window Film Stops Heat, Glare & UV For Tampa Area Homes

Leave a reply

Homeowners and property managers realize that clear glass windows are inefficient in factoring out glare, heat and UV. 

Unprotected glass is the weakest link in your security planning.

It only takes a few seconds for burglars to break through; take your valuables and leave the scene before law enforcement responds.

There is a practical cost effective solution that will give you the best ROI of any alternative window strategy: Window Film!


Advanced Film Solutions provides transparent, durable and optically clear coatings that are installed on your existing windows. 

These coatings remove UV, factor out heat and glare and lower your electric costs by as much as 30% a month.

Manufactured by 3M Prestige and Prestige Ultra or Eastman Chemical; these coatings are designed to last and will provide these benefits for decades to come supported by a lifetime warranty.

Winter or summer these coatings maintain the interior temperatures that best suits your comfort level.

Single pane windows perform like double pane windows at a fraction of the cost of a window replacement.

Thicker solar and clear shatter resistant versions harden your glass and make it extremely difficult for burglars to break through your windows. 

These films delay, deter and deny access and in reflective versions can provide privacy from that curious neighbor or a serious potential threat.

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.

Advanced Film Solutions has completed more than 45,500 homes and business window film installations since we launched Advanced Film Solutions 18 years ago.

CollageiiOne of the more surprising aspects of our home installations has been the volume of homes that have single pane clear glass on their front entry door and a thin glass side lite running vertically adjacent to the door handle and lock.

A burglar can break through this glass in 5 seconds and easily reach the lock and enter your home.
 

The majority of our clients ask us to fix their heat problems , glare and UV fading .

For homes with clear glass on the front doors we recommend an application of safety and security film by Vista. 

You should also consider our 3M Prestige Ultra or 3M Scotchshield Ultra clear and solar combination window film.

  • The application of these 8 ML thick security films makes it much more difficult for thieves to enter your home.

  • Tinted versions can provide privacy from the street.

  • Opaque versions can be installed that provide 24/7 privacy

  • Sliders can be reinforced with these thicker security films as well as a pool bath door.

Safety and security films will not interfere with motion detectors or window alarm systems.

Glass with LLumar® Solar Safety and Security Film has an extra layer of protection that reinforces windows and helps hold dangerous glass shards together if shattered. It helps protect against multiple safety and security threats:

  • Break-ins
  • Extreme weather
  • Explosive blasts, and
  • Everyday accidents.

LLumar Solar Safety and Security Film offers solar benefits too, so it’s like two films in one.

It helps make occupants more comfortable by combining reassuring safety benefits with the power to filter the sun’s heat, reduce glare, and block more than 99% of damaging UV rays.
