Advanced Film Solutions has been installing security window films at a record pace during the recent few weeks. 

 

We install thicker 8 ML shatter resistant films that delay, deter and deny entry reinforcing  the weakest link in your perimeter protection;

YOUR GLASS!

As Tampa’s leading window film source we install tested and certified films by the world leaders in security film technology.


LLumar Magnum:  LLumar Magnum films use DuPont Mylar polyester to build UL972 approved films.

These films are Factory Global approved and are available in tinted versions that qualify for Window Film Rebates.

Vista Film: Manufactured by Eastman Performance Films using DuPont poly; these films are less reflective from the interior view than the economically priced LLumar series. 

VISTA offers designer films that meet a higher aesthetic demand and are perfect for the home!

3M Ultra and 3M Prestige Ultra:

Unmatched non-metallic energy savings shatter film that meets deed restrictions and is ideal for condo’s and Gated Communities. These are tear resistant and factor out IR wavelengths .

 

Armorcoat: One of the true security film leaders these films are used at military bases, the Capitol Building and Federal Buildings like the Department of Energy and the FBI Building. You can’t get more security concerned than the FEDS!

They selected Armorcoat for good reason.  These films meet the blast testing and GSA testing standards and are optically clear.

If privacy is a concern Armorcoat has tinted and reflective iterations.

SunTek: Economically priced and particularly attractive to commercial concerns these films are thick and priced to move.  SunTek has met GSA Blast standards and passes the ASTM 1886 B standard

Avery- Dennison, Hanita:  Manufactured in Israel, these shatter films are the primary choice for blast protection. Thicker than standard security films the Israelis understand blast protection and fragment retention better than manufacturers located in more peaceful environments.

Advanced Film offers these films and more.

These films are not all the same. There are nuances in the look and reflectivity as well as energy performance and color/hue

Further; should you already have a quote from one of our competitors we will match or beat that with a comparable film or offer a superior choice.

Home Shatter Solar Security Window Film Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota

Leave a reply

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.

Security Window Film, Florida Advanced Film Solutions Installations

Leave a reply

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.

Glazing Protection Window Tinting Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota

Leave a reply

Many schools, hospitals and government buildings management are considering the application of security window film at main entrances and ground floor accessible windows.

These thicker (minimum 8 ML) film is professionally applied to the existing window pane.

The film is attached to the frame so that in the event the window is shattered, the film system will keep the glass in the opening, making it much more difficult for an intruder to gain access.


Glass is the weakest and most inviting point of entry.

Slowing down or stopping entry can mean the difference between tragedy and life safety!

Advanced Film Solutions provides window protection and solar tinting combination window film in the Tampa, Lakeland and Orlando area.

Commercial installations like the VA Hospital and USF and thousands of retail stores and homes have been protected by Advanced Film Solutions.

There are numerous alternatives in the appearance of these coatings. Many clients prefer the invisible versions for maximum visibility.

On the other hand there are scenarios where privacy is extremely critical.

In these situations we recommend a host of reflective versions that provide the safety requirements while lowering energy costs, eliminating glare and offering the same shatter capabilities.

Frankly no other Florida company offers as many choices!
