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.

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!

Tampa Bay Energy Savings Upgrades Advanced Film Solutions Starting Point

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

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.
