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.

2025, Where To Buy Security Solar Window Film, Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota

Leave a reply

Many Florida homeowners who are investigating solar control UV filtering and glare blocking window films also consider thicker safety security versions for home protection.

Getting more bang for the buck for versions that hold glass in place against forced entry or impact while performing the exact same solar benefits can only add to the rationale for investing in window film.

Advanced Film Solutions appreciates this logic and we offer more solar security versions of window film than any other company in Florida.

At a minimum our coatings are 8 ML thick. This is the standard required for meeting various independent tests that quantify impact performance. 8 ML films meet ASTM 1996, ASTM1886 B and GSA Level 3 for blast mitigation.

Several versions of our Vista and LLumar security films also meet Factory Mutual standards for wind blown debris on commercial window systems.

We now offer 3M Scotchshield, 3M Ultra clear films and the Prestige Ultra Series!

No matter the film selected it is recommended that sliders and larger window openings receive an application of Dow 995 structural silicone attachment system, or 3M IPA along the perimeter of the frame. This additional anchoring is the best method for improving the performance of the window system against impact.

Advanced Film Solutions represents Eastman Chemical whose portfolio includes LLumar, Vista, Huper Optik and SunTek solar security Film.

We also represent Madico and Sunscape (the films on the US Capitol Building) as well as the Saint-Gobain Armorcoat films.

And as mentioned above we now offer 3M Scotchshield, 3M Ultra and 3M Prestige Ultra solar safety film.

Advanced Film Solutions also represents the Avery-Dennison Films.

The wide variety of selections gives consumers the best alternatives to match their aesthetic requirements.

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.

Today’s facility manager has to be a jack of all trades.


Shrinking budgets, and economic concerns tightened budgets across the board.
Certainly sustainability and “greening ” of your facility are top of mind considerations but practical costs have to be measured and bench marked for realistic short and long term cost savings.

Energy costs are rising.

35524_535040636529412_1695691701_n

Energy costs are the second fastest growing expense area behind health care costs and are expected to increase as the economy recovers and companies increase their production.

Many of the low hanging fruit improvements have been implemented. (lighting upgrades, etc.)

 

 
The case for 3M, Vista , LLumar and Huper Optik Window Film:


Eastman Chemical has designed a suite of durable thin film coatings that retrofit your existing glass systems.

These films are built to last and life cycle ROI compares more than favorably to most energy upgrades.

These films are dye free so you will not experience fading of the films or dye migration changing the color of the film to purple. 

These films have scratch resistant coatings that protect the film from abrasion and day-to-day activity.

Vista Window Film is available in multiple light transmissions so the natural light can be maintained or adjusted based upon your facility requirements.

Additional considerations:
 
  • All Vista, LLumar films factor out 99.9% of the UV- This preserves interior carpeting, paintings and furnishings.

  • 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. Progress 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.
  • 3M Prestige and Prestige Ultra security window film that keeps the look of your windows while stopping heat at the window.

  • 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.
