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.

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.

  • Our films are NFRC certified and you can readily compare summer and winter savings for your existing glass system once these certified films are installed.

  • 3M Scotchtint, 3M Scotchshield, 3M Prestige and 3M Prestige Ultra Film

  • Solar control films qualify for local power company rebates.
  • Our films eliminate 99.9% of the UV.

Before you replace your windows you owe yourself the opportunity to compare with Advanced Film Solutions

Tampa Bay Energy Savings Upgrades Advanced Film Solutions Starting Point

Leave a reply

Commercial and government buildings are a major consumer of the nation’s energy demand.

slide-5

This fact has profound implications for limited resources, costs and environmental impact (reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions) both nationally and globally.

Lowering energy usage is also a good business decision for short and long term cost savings.

 

When building management considers energy savings and conservation measures they typically focus on lighting and Hvac upgrades.

Frequently overlooked in the planning and execution stage of these projects is the building envelope upgrade utilizing today’s solar control window film.

Advanced Film Solutions works closely with energy service providers as well as building property managers to determine the best possible solution based on the metrics provided.

We represent NFRC rated window films that offer significant energy savings that can be simulated and modeled through various DOE approved programs. ROI and internal rate of return for window film projects and ease of implementation make window film the best value of any retrofit project.

Payback within 2-9 years depending upon the orientation of the building.

The life cycle analysis compared to window replacement is also a major factor in promoting our solutions.

21st century window films are durable and supported by long term warranties from global leading suppliers like Eastman Chemical and Saint-Gobain.

 

Lighter coatings like 3M Prestige, Eastman’s Huper Optik and Vista won’t detract from the aesthetic appeal of the building or reduce the view or interior lighting.

2025, Commercial Contracting Window Tinting Solutions Alternatives

1 Reply

Commercial property managers throughout the country are researching the alternatives for reducing their energy costs and improving tenant comfort and safety.

Advanced Film Solutions offers the most extensive portfolio of window film brands and solutions to match any requirement.

 

Our installation teams have completed nearly 42,000 projects since we launched the business in 2007.

VISTA Films the NFRC Rated low interior reflective and ceramic films meet the aesthetic requirements of luxury homes and prestige gated communities and condos.

These films are the number one choice of Interior Designers who are primarily interested in protecting furnishings and accessories from the heat and UV fading.

We also acquired the Huper Optik nanoceramic films from Germany.

These are the best heat rejecting window films for a non-metallic film offering extraordinary optical clarity and superior performance.

We have recently joined the 3M Prestige and 3M Dealer network. The exciting multi-layered optical IR heat blocking Prestige is available in several light transmissions as well as shatter versions. There are also exterior versions ideal for laminated glass or difficult to reach windows.

Certainly the commercial market segment has similar requirements.

Lowering electric costs and providing a maximum return on their investment.

The cost benefit for a superior performing window film like 3M, VISTA and Huper Optik may not match the budget restrictions imposed on a larger facility.

In these situations we have developed a complete portfolio of reflective commercial films manufactured by the industry leaders Llumar, Avery Dennison-Hanita, Solar Gard, Johnson and SunTek.

These films are lower cost yet their heat rejecting performance and durability are never sacrificed.

These films are all NFRC Certified which is critically important as compared to car tinting dyed films which may look fine at the time of the installation but rapidly degrade over the next few months.

Property managers need to be cautious not to authorize an installation of these low ball cost films because the useful life is extremely limited.

Our standards are high and we are fully insured and BBB rated A Plus
 

The fact that we identify the brands we represent and can explain the nuances between these films is a benefit to our clients.
