Tampa Bay Protects Front Entrance Doors With Shatter Control Window Film


Glass entrance doors and storefront glazing were built to allow openness and visibility for retail stores, office buildings, hospitals health care institutions and notably school campus buildings.

(Lessons Learned From Sandy Hook)
 

Unfortunately recent events have focused attention on methods for improved safety and security since glass is easily breached with ballistic weapons and personnel and property can be damaged by blast spalling, debris and flying glass.

It’s time to implement solutions to protect our most important assets; our children, friends and neighbors!
 
 
Glass doors are also frequently subject to graffiti and scratches through normal usage.
 
 


Advanced Film Solutions installs thicker (8 ML plus) glazing films on your existing glass entry doors and windows.  These coatings are anchored to the frames creating a system that withstands high impact, blast and intrusion.

The key objective is to delay, deny and deter entry.

Our window film meets that objective at an economical cost and a swift implementation process.

Certainly administration officials and concerned parties should discuss long range plans that may include laminated glass or reducing the window envelope throughout your buildings.  These are alternatives that may suit your budget or security concerns if there are extenuating circumstances.

Nevertheless our security glazing films have been installed on US Embassy, Federal Buildings, Airports and local landmark buildings, retail stores and county government offices throughout Florida and the USA.

 

Property management and facility security personnel can decide upon the level of visibility into the facility since we offer a wide range of alternatives.

Transparent clear coatings maintain the appearance of your building but many decision makers select modestly tinted security films to reduce glare and improve interior comfort.

In many cases security management will select privacy versions so intruders can not observe students or employees which protects them from being targeted from the exterior.

Our coatings have been independently tested for GSA, DoD, ASTM and UL facility criteria and guidelines.

  • Visibility through their windows maintained particularly during the evening hours. Metallic window films tend to lower the exterior view; Huper Optik is less reflective than glass.

  • NFRC certified films affirm the performance values and characteristics of our German engineered films.
  • Patented Huper Optik out-performs generic ceramic films sold by all competitors. Six foot widths eliminate seaming.

Florida Building Comfort With Cool Advanced Film Glare Control Tinting

Clear, bright relentless sunshine!

20150619_141851 (1)

Eye Strain- Headaches-Discomfort

 
The heat is on for most commercial office buildings and retail stores.
 
 
 
  • Glare makes it difficult to read computer screens. Fatigue and eye strain lead to headaches and employee complaints.

  • Cold spots and hot spots in the building add to the discomfort. Our cooling systems are ill equipped to handle winter months and employees complain about feeling sick while freezing or melting to death.

  • Fading of office furnishings, carpets and paintings. Damage is costly in a bottom line sense as well as in the impression your company offers to important management and visitors.

  • The curb appeal of your offices are compromised. Boxes and files are visible from the street.
  • Electric costs to heat or cool a large commercial office building are prohibitive. This affects your profitability and tenant satisfaction if these costs are deferred to your clients.

  •  Safety and security: certainly commercial and retail offices are prone to smash and grab crime, vandalism.

     
    Advanced Film Solutions  delivers energy savings, comfort and a balanced interior climate. 

When the employees were advised that their days of glare and eye strain were soon to be ended- -they applauded!

Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota Thicker Safer Security Window Film

When it comes down to safety and security the thicker the window film the better.

That’s why Advanced Film Solutions recommends the 8 ML thick clear and solar safety security window films manufactured by global window film leaders Eastman Chemical, Armorcoat, Madico, Hanita, Johnson and Suntek.

The 8 ML thickness has become the industry standard because these films meet a superior level of security when tested to GSA, DoD and ASTM standards.

Thinner films like 4, 5 and most 6 ML films do not meet this security level. This includes any 3M 5 ML film. Be certain to confirm that a competitors film is not thinner than 8 ML.

Solar security films are designed to withstand impact and provide energy solar savings by filtering out heat gain while simultaneously doing their security function.

Window film can be attached to metal frames like storefront windows or sliders by using a wet sealant Dow 995 system.

These attachment systems have provided that additional measure of protection to keep glass lites in the frame.

Advanced Film Solutions team of installers is fully equipped and trained in all aspects of security glazing installations.

Our residential warranty is lifetime and most commercial warranties are 10, 12 or 15 years.

Hot, Humid, UV Damage, It’s Just Another Day For Tampa Window Film

The phones have been quite busy since temps stay in the low 90’s

While I’d prefer to believe that this was a direct result of our brilliant marketing strategy; it did occur to us that the increase in demand may have something “slightly more” to do with the weather??

 glare

Homeowners face similar concerns and have many of the same questions:

They want to reduce the heat in their homes, but don’t want to live in a cave!

  • Their AC doesn’t seem as cool as it once was. They are looking for ways to make that heat pump more efficient!
  • The glare is oppressive. There are rooms that are simply unlivable!

  • They have only a basic knowledge of window film, and need to be convinced that this solution “is for real.”

  • They are confused by competition and the “guy they know” who does tinting on “the side.” That’s why our BBB rated A plus track record and having earned Angie’s List Super Service Award for 9 years in a row are so important!

  • They know that UV is harmful to health and furnishings. How does window film help?
  • 735065_518490441517765_979280444_nPrivacy and home security are key concerns particularly when their windows or sliders are visible from their neighbor’s windows!

  • Their DEED RESTRICTIONS won’t allow a metallic shiny film. Huper Optik Ceramic Films are superior when compared to 3M Prestige
