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

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.

Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota Protective Glazing Window Film Solutions

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.
