3M Window Film including 3M Prestige and Prestige Ultra Film, Eastman Chemical’s Vista Films , LLumar SelectPro and our outstanding Prestige Film along with Huper Optik ceramic films that are ideal for gated communities and deed restricted homes.

Our client faced high winds that shook all of their glass doors and sliders during last hurricane season. Now their windows are protected with 8 ML thick mylar additionally attached with structural silicone. This same window film blocks almost all of the UV and 60% of the heat gain!

 
Our solar security shatter films are the strongest in the industry:
 

 

3M Scotchshield and 3M Prestige Ultra Film, Eastman Chemical LLumar 8 ML mylar films, Madico,  Armorcoat Film and dual reflective Vista Film delay, deny and deter burglary while providing peace of mind during wind storms.

Residential, commercial  properties and government buildings can all benefit with lower cooling costs as well as shatter resistance combined.

 
 

One client lives in Clearwater and their sliders and window openings have an easy access to the street.   There have been several home break-ins recently and they wanted privacy as well as home security.  We are installing LLumar Magnum 20 on all of their windows and sliders.

This application will reinforce their glass, reduce the glare and provide privacy all at the same time.

This commercial client has an upscale salon in Tampa.  They face East and get hit with glare and heat all morning.

They considered blinds but this would block the interior view making the salon far less inviting.

The solution?
 

This non reflective film will block nearly 70% of the heat and glare.  Commercial rebates may apply and their clients will enjoy the comfort that 3M Prestige Film delivers !

A key concern for many property managers is increased protection of tenant property and assets from burglary and weather induced shattered glass.

Installation of clear LLumar Security Glazing Film

Nevertheless, reinforcing your glass with our safety and security glazing films is an obvious, economically beneficial alternative. How long will it take for law enforcement to respond?

Glass Protection Window Film For Safer Tampa Bay, Sarasota, & Orlando Homes

Security Window Film strengthens your home security defense by maintaining the structural integrity of the glass.

These thicker (8ML+) films also perform the same solar features you’d expect to find in thinner solar versions.

 

There is a modest up front cost for these dual benefit films but this investment is rewarded by the added safety and security that these glazing protection films provide.

Advanced Film Solutions shatter films block solar energy in the same manner as the thinner solar only versions. 

The thicker mylar films have incredible puncture strength and more aggressive adhesives.

These films when properly installed (optional fastening systems should be considered for larger window openings and sliders!) hold glass in place against intrusion and impact. 

In fact these are the very same films that protect government buildings throughout the world.

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.

We have seen a spike in the number of installations geared to improving the glass protection of homes and businesses against burglary.

While FBI statistics seem to point to only a modest increase in burglaries, the clients we have interviewed have direct experience with home break-ins in their own neighborhood!

How thicker shatter films work?
 
 

Thicker safety and security window films hold the glass in place against forced entry. Glass- film- and frames can be reinforced using attachment systems. 

Formerly vulnerable rear windows and doors are now much harder to penetrate. 

This has the effect of slowing down would be intruders and allowing your home or business security system to sound the alarm.

Many consumers request versions that offer solar reduction properties or reflective films for privacy.

These films lower your monthly cooling costs by as much as 30% !

At minimum we recommend 8 ML thick films. 

While many manufacturers do make a 4 ML version, the thicker versions offer much greater puncture strength and tensile strength.
