Tampa Bay Protects Front Entrance Doors With Shatter Control Window Film


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.

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.

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.

This 100 year old building was the perfect fit for Huper Optik Ceramic installed by Tampa’s window film leader; Advanced Film Solutions.

  • Visibility through their windows maintained particularly during the evening hours. Metallic window films tend to lower the exterior view; Huper Optik is less reflective than glass.

  • NFRC certified films affirm the performance values and characteristics of our German engineered films.
  • Patented Huper Optik out-performs generic ceramic films sold by all competitors. Six foot widths eliminate seaming.

Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota Thicker Safer Security Window Film

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 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. This includes any 3M 5 ML film. 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.

Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota Comparison Shopping Window Tinting

The competitive landscape is constantly changing and today’s consumer has to be better educated in making the right choice for their window film installation.

wer

We have seen a number of home installation quotations asking us to offer comparisons against the 3M Prestige Window Films or Night Vision film throughout Florida.

As an expert in window film installations and the numerous choices available to consumers Advanced Film Solutions is perfectly positioned to offer window film solutions that out-perform the 3M-film  and importantly deliver a better return on your investment.

 
Clearly the bar is raised high.
 
 
 
 
 

 

Consumers may simply sign up for a 3M installation no matter the cost based upon their “familiarity” with the 3M Brand.

994946_660887517278056_422811541_n

We grant that you should be more familiar with these name brands but if consumers have learned anything in the last decade it’s the fact that there are a vast array of choices available to you that will exceed the well known brand’s performance and price points.

Advanced Film Solutions has developed the most complete portfolio of the leading window films in the industry.

 

Consumers may not realize this fact but brands like VISTA Films, LLumar, Solar Gard, Armorcoat, Avery-Dennison, Huper Optik, Madico, SunTek and Johnson Films comprise more than 90% of the residential and commercial window film sales in the USA.

There is a reason for this and the key factor is performance of the window film solution coupled with the price points.
 

You might be skeptical about these facts but we wouldn’t expect you to rely simply upon our recommendation no matter how experienced we might be in window films or the fact that I spent 33 years with 3M and was the former National Sales Manager of 3M Window Film (but that doesn’t hurt my position- -does it?)

We only ask that consumers take the opportunity to compare our selections to the quotes you may have received from 3M representatives either after their walk through in your home.

Compare the interior and exterior reflectivity of the films and the rebate requirements that may qualify you for immediate rebates.

  • Compare our transferable lifetime warranty to their original owner policy.
  • Compare our choices in light transmissions, reflectivity, hue and strength.
  • Compare the NFRC documented credentials of our films.

Finally; compare our cost versus benefit.

That all important bottom line!
