Daylighting is the practice of placing windows or other transparent media and reflective surfaces so that, during the day, natural light provides effective interior illumination.

 

Daylight, technically a byproduct of sunlight and its attendant invisible-spectrum IR radiation dispersing in the atmosphere, is a nearly perfect light.

It is free, and we see very well under it.

In moderation it has positive health benefits associated with vitamins,  enhanced performance, and elevated mood, producing 16 percent or better test score increases and general feelings of well-being in schools (as one example).

It does have a few issues, however:

It is associated with heat, specifically the heat produced by the continuous nuclear reaction comprising the sun.  It is on all the time, but because the planet rotates you can’t see it all the time.

Also, the ultraviolet radiation in sunlight causes toxins from the materials in your house to out gas at an alarming rate, and generally degrades them, so the sun ruins your carpet (one of the worst airborne pollutant sources) and you get indoor air quality problems.

Glare is also a critical downside of allowing in copious amounts of daylighting.  Plasma TV screens, computers and comfort are all issue our clients are facing.

Our solutions?

Low or non-reflective Nano-ceramic window films allow in more natural light than standard dark reflective films while they simultaneously reject nearly 100% of the UV as well as rejecting more IR heat.

Light transmission films in the 30%-50% light transmissions with total solar heat rejection of 60%.

  • Glare is reduced by 30-70%
  • UV eliminated
  • Temperatures are reduced.
  • Windows are protected 24/7 with 8 ML thick shatter films.
  • Electric costs are reduced

.

  • Since these films are non reflective they meet all Deed Restrictions!
  • Homeowners use less interior lighting further lowering electric costs!
  • IR is reduced- so it feels even cooler which provides greater comfort.

Tampa Safety Security Shatter Control Window Film Solutions

Safety and security window film has demonstrated safety benefits for protecting people and property for decades.

The Federal government has developed safety criteria for Federal installations and the window film industry has conducted these tests through independent testing laboratories.

The shatter retention films represented by Advanced Film Solutions meets the most stringent GSA requirements when properly anchored with a wet seal (Dow 995 silicone) fastening system.

It should be noted that our direct competition 3M security film has no performance advantage over our solar security films in terms of safety.

Their representations of increased tear resistance or some advantage of their fastening IPD  caulk over Dow 995 has NOT given them any safety advantage on any objective testing standard including GSA, Department of Defense, Factory Global or ASTM.

To the contrary they are extremely limited to a handful of solar security films while our portfolio includes:

  • Silver 8 ML and thicker.
  • Neutral 8 ML
  • Dual reflective 8 ML in 25, 35, 28, 38 light transmissions.
  • Clear Security film in 4,6,7,8,11,14,15 +Ml
  • Neutral 50, 40, 35
  • Non reflective 40, 8ML and 50 8Ml and 70 8 ML

Our Eastman LLumar , Madico, Avery-Dennison Hanita, SunTek, Huper Optik, Vista and Armorcoat Films are the standard for force protection personnel perimeter protection throughout the world.

Most recently and unfortunately these films are the most specified security films employed for school safety security in the USA
