Secure Facilities With Fragment Retention Window Film Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota

Leave a reply

Our crews were busy installing our 8 ML safety and security fragment film on the windows of a high profile government contractor building.

 

Our client needed a coating that meets the GSA criteria and Advanced Film Solutions is unique by offering more choices than any other installation company in Florida.

We consulted with the management team and pointed out that several iterations of security film were available in a solar version that provides heat, glare and energy savings along with the required security.

Shattered glass can also be a risk to buildings that may not necessarily be a target for a bomb blast, but are in the vicinity of a building that is.

Commercial and government interests should also consider our 3M Scotchshield and 3M Ultra security window film series of films. This includes the Prestige Ultra film that stops heat at the glass!

In other words, if a threat assessment shows that there are high-profile targets nearby, applying security film to the windows makes sense to protect against residual blast effects.

 
Choices and experience are the foundation for our team’s success.

Replacing Windows Vs. Window Tinting Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota

Leave a reply

Many homeowners are considering replacing their windows with IG units or at the very least more energy efficient glass. 

If the windows have air or moisture leakage, failed seals, or damaged frames (or if they aren’t structurally sound), then window film installation isn’t an option to address complaints or window problems.

But if your windows are structurally sound and in good condition, window film can often take care of several of the common problems associated with windows in commercial buildings.


There are many reasons why you may be considering this possibility:

  • Your monthly electric bill is outrageous.
  • There is almost zero winter insulating benefits for your current windows.
  • A window replacement company has captured your attention.
  • The local power company mentioned window replacement when they conducted an energy audit.
  • A friend or neighbor replaced their windows and has encouraged you to take a similar course!

We are Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater and Orlando’s premier installation company for thin film retrofit technology films by Eastman Chemical and 3M.

 
  • Our portfolio includes VISTA, LLumar and the incomparable Huper Optik ceramic film.

Tampa Cool Buildings With 3M, LLumar, Vista Window Film Solutions

Sometimes an incredible cost effective solution can be glossed over when energy managers and facilities leaders brainstorm methods to consider to obtain sustainable energy solutions.

BUT

Window film has been around since the 1960’s.

Today’s new technology energy insulating coatings are durable, warranted against failure and won’t alter the appearance of your windows (unless that’s what you want!)

We have come a very long way from the old days of purple, hazy and murky reflective films of those early times.

So why do ESCO’s and energy cost consultants seem totally absorbed with HVAC and lighting retrofits?

  1. Window film isn’t as exciting as lighting systems or updated chillers.
  2. There remains a poor perception of window film possibly based on past installations where film failure was experienced or the observation of failed tint on cars or retail stores.
  3. Window film doesn’t appear to have champions that are promoting this solution.
  4. Glass curtain wall companies are keenly interested in window and glass replacement. Window film retrofits would obviate that requirement.

Window film is an industry in search of credibility.

That’s why we are pleased with the NFRC ratings that document performance characteristics and expectations of window film solutions.

We promote the objective reports that quantify energy savings and ROI!

Additional considerations:

  • All Vista , LLumar film factor out 99.9% of the UV- This preserves interior carpeting, paintings and furnishings.
  • 3M Prestige and 3M Ultra clear and tinted shatter solar films are ideal when aesthetics are critical!
  • 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. Duke 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.
  • 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.

We shout from the highest mountains the successful installations throughout the world where window film has altered perceptions and attained it’s proper position as the foundation component in a hierarchy of energy smart solutions.

Here for example our installation at NC State University!
