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

Leave a reply

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.

Heat & Glare Control Advanced Film Solutions Window Tinting, Tampa Bay

Leave a reply

Our installation crews were busy blocking blinding bright glare at retail shops throughout the Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota area.

 

Stores facing east, south and west understand exactly what the problem is every single day.


Intense glare makes store patrons and clients uncomfortable. They shop less and buy less.

  • Unprotected windows allow UV to stream into the store fading inventory and interiors.

  • Non protected glass is easy to shatter. Burglars have a field day!

  • Energy costs are outrageous. Solar control films reduce AC usage.

  • Privacy: Some retailers prefer privacy! Health clubs, and certain private establishments want total daytime privacy.

  • Aesthetic curb appeal: Boxes and shelving take away from a store curb appeal. Streamlining the glass with sun control films offer a pleasing appearance to your storefront.
  • Heat and UV is the key concern but in store visibility has to be maintained! 

This is the perfect scenario for 3M Prestige or Huper Optik non-reflective ceramic films.

Enjoy the reduced heat and UV without detracting for the view.

Advanced Film Solutions offers economical solutions throughout the Tampa Bay area.

2025, Commercial Contracting Window Tinting Solutions Alternatives

1 Reply

Commercial property managers throughout the country are researching the alternatives for reducing their energy costs and improving tenant comfort and safety.

Advanced Film Solutions offers the most extensive portfolio of window film brands and solutions to match any requirement.

 

Our installation teams have completed nearly 42,000 projects since we launched the business in 2007.

VISTA Films the NFRC Rated low interior reflective and ceramic films meet the aesthetic requirements of luxury homes and prestige gated communities and condos.

These films are the number one choice of Interior Designers who are primarily interested in protecting furnishings and accessories from the heat and UV fading.

We also acquired the Huper Optik nanoceramic films from Germany.

These are the best heat rejecting window films for a non-metallic film offering extraordinary optical clarity and superior performance.

We have recently joined the 3M Prestige and 3M Dealer network. The exciting multi-layered optical IR heat blocking Prestige is available in several light transmissions as well as shatter versions. There are also exterior versions ideal for laminated glass or difficult to reach windows.

Certainly the commercial market segment has similar requirements.

Lowering electric costs and providing a maximum return on their investment.

The cost benefit for a superior performing window film like 3M, VISTA and Huper Optik may not match the budget restrictions imposed on a larger facility.

In these situations we have developed a complete portfolio of reflective commercial films manufactured by the industry leaders Llumar, Avery Dennison-Hanita, Solar Gard, Johnson and SunTek.

These films are lower cost yet their heat rejecting performance and durability are never sacrificed.

These films are all NFRC Certified which is critically important as compared to car tinting dyed films which may look fine at the time of the installation but rapidly degrade over the next few months.

Property managers need to be cautious not to authorize an installation of these low ball cost films because the useful life is extremely limited.

Our standards are high and we are fully insured and BBB rated A Plus
 

The fact that we identify the brands we represent and can explain the nuances between these films is a benefit to our clients.

Today’s facility manager has to be a jack of all trades.


Shrinking budgets, and economic concerns tightened budgets across the board.
Certainly sustainability and “greening ” of your facility are top of mind considerations but practical costs have to be measured and bench marked for realistic short and long term cost savings.

Energy costs are rising.

35524_535040636529412_1695691701_n

Energy costs are the second fastest growing expense area behind health care costs and are expected to increase as the economy recovers and companies increase their production.

Many of the low hanging fruit improvements have been implemented. (lighting upgrades, etc.)

 

 
The case for 3M, Vista , LLumar and Huper Optik Window Film:


Eastman Chemical has designed a suite of durable thin film coatings that retrofit your existing glass systems.

These films are built to last and life cycle ROI compares more than favorably to most energy upgrades.

These films are dye free so you will not experience fading of the films or dye migration changing the color of the film to purple. 

These films have scratch resistant coatings that protect the film from abrasion and day-to-day activity.

Vista Window Film is available in multiple light transmissions so the natural light can be maintained or adjusted based upon your facility requirements.

Additional considerations:
 
  • All Vista, LLumar films factor out 99.9% of the UV- This preserves interior carpeting, paintings and furnishings.

  • Glare control will improve worker productivity and comfort.
  • Demonstrable tenant satisfaction based upon this improved comfort and elimination of cold and hot spots throughout your entire facility.

  • Improved efficiency of your Hvac and chiller systems since heat gain is blocked at the glass!
  • NFRC rated performance on all Eastman Commercial Window Films.

  • Energy Rebates apply through your local power company. Progress Energy, TECO, FP&L all offer attractive commercial window film rebate incentives.
  • Significant reduction in your monthly energy costs.
  • Improved curb appeal – many films will streamline the aesthetics of your facility and provide privacy.
  • 3M Prestige and Prestige Ultra security window film that keeps the look of your windows while stopping heat at the window.

  • Safety and Security (thicker iterations) for burglary protection and blast protection.

  • Interior designer architectural films can be employed on interior glass dividers and conference rooms.  These films enhance the beauty and functionality of your design planning.
