Tampa Safety Security Shatter Control Window Film Solutions

Safety and security window film has demonstrated safety benefits for protecting people and property for decades.

The Federal government has developed safety criteria for Federal installations and the window film industry has conducted these tests through independent testing laboratories.

The shatter retention films represented by Advanced Film Solutions meets the most stringent GSA requirements when properly anchored with a wet seal (Dow 995 silicone) fastening system.

It should be noted that our direct competition 3M security film has no performance advantage over our solar security films in terms of safety.

Their representations of increased tear resistance or some advantage of their fastening IPD  caulk over Dow 995 has NOT given them any safety advantage on any objective testing standard including GSA, Department of Defense, Factory Global or ASTM.

To the contrary they are extremely limited to a handful of solar security films while our portfolio includes:

  • Silver 8 ML and thicker.
  • Neutral 8 ML
  • Dual reflective 8 ML in 25, 35, 28, 38 light transmissions.
  • Clear Security film in 4,6,7,8,11,14,15 +Ml
  • Neutral 50, 40, 35
  • Non reflective 40, 8ML and 50 8Ml and 70 8 ML

Our Eastman LLumar , Madico, Avery-Dennison Hanita, SunTek, Huper Optik, Vista and Armorcoat Films are the standard for force protection personnel perimeter protection throughout the world.

Most recently and unfortunately these films are the most specified security films employed for school safety security in the USA
