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.

Protect, Home Furnishings From UV, Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota Window Film

 
 

Take a close look at your furnishings under the bright light that streams through your windows every single day.

UV
The unrelenting UV, heat and bright light damage your most valuable furnishings, rugs, wood floors, drapes and leather.

The cost to repair is prohibitive which is why most homeowners simply buy replacements.
 
 

There is a better way.

UV window film provides a barrier between a building’s occupants/interior furnishings and harmful ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet A rays (UVA) in particular are responsible for causing extensive damage – including initiating skin cancer development and causing fading of furniture and flooring.

While ordinary glass offers little to no protection from the sun, UV window films do, and at a fraction of the cost of other UV-blocking alternatives.

The Vista™ brand of UV window film provides the highest level of UVA and UVB rejection by blocking up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays.

Vista UV window film’s protective shield helps defend against the dangers of UV induced skin diseases and photosensitivity. The sun’s ultraviolet rays are also the leading cause of fading in interiors such as furniture, floorings, wall coverings, artwork and photographs. Retail stores are especially prone to damage from UVA rays as merchandise in windows is more susceptible to damage and fading.


Advanced Film Solutions installs UV, heat blocking thin films that preserve your furnishings.

These are the same films that effectively reduce your monthly electric bills by nearly 30% a month.

Heat & Glare Control Advanced Film Solutions Window Tinting, Tampa Bay

Our installation crews were busy blocking blinding bright glare at retail shops throughout the Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota area.

 

Stores facing east, south and west understand exactly what the problem is every single day.


Intense glare makes store patrons and clients uncomfortable. They shop less and buy less.

  • Unprotected windows allow UV to stream into the store fading inventory and interiors.

  • Non protected glass is easy to shatter. Burglars have a field day!

  • Energy costs are outrageous. Solar control films reduce AC usage.

  • Privacy: Some retailers prefer privacy! Health clubs, and certain private establishments want total daytime privacy.

  • Aesthetic curb appeal: Boxes and shelving take away from a store curb appeal. Streamlining the glass with sun control films offer a pleasing appearance to your storefront.
  • Heat and UV is the key concern but in store visibility has to be maintained! 

This is the perfect scenario for 3M Prestige or Huper Optik non-reflective ceramic films.

Enjoy the reduced heat and UV without detracting for the view.
