Burglary Glass Protection, Window Tinting Tampa Bay, Orlando

It only takes a burglar seconds to smash through your glass doors sliders or windows.

 

Sure the alarm will sound and notify law enforcement, but how long does it take for your inventory, cash and other valuables to be stolen?

 

You could have bars installed but that takes away from your curb appeal and it’s an eyesore.

The solution?

Tampa 2025, Compares Window Film Retrofit Vs. Buying New Windows

nutty

Many Florida homeowners suffer through long hot summers with clear single pane glass windows and sliders.

replace

Heat streams in unabated and UV damages furnishings and wood floors.

 

Glare creates impossible to watch TV screens and computers and electric bills are higher than ever before.

If you aren’t familiar with today’s solar control window film coatings you might be persuaded by some window replacement company to invest in a complete replacement.

should

No window replacement company will detail the following FACTS:

  1. The payback for IG insulated Glass units or Low E windows may take 25 years.
  2. Many of the replacement windows do nothing to filter out harmful UV rays.
  3. The very best IG units typically stop slightly more than 50% of the heat.
  4. Unless you have significant air leaks the physical properties of your window frames did not require replacement.
  5. IG units are typically clear glass so you’ll still suffer with glare and eye strain.

There may be a better way to solve your window problems.

Church Work, Securing Worship With Shatter Window Film

Leave a reply

Advanced Film Solutions installed our safety and security fragment retention window film systems on several high profile buildings in the Tampa, Sarasota, Clearwater, Lakeland and Orlando region.

There are several religious facilities that clearly have a higher threat level than others.

Let’s be frank.
 


Muslim and Jewish Houses of Worship receive more threats and have unfortunately a greater risk level in these difficult times.

 How thicker security films work to control flying glass?

Thicker safety and security films have been used effectively for decades.

The Federal Government and internationally governments and large corporations are very familiar with these transparent security systems.

Glass is the weakest link in your perimeter protection planning.  Blast protection, flying debris and vandalism can create a dangerous environment for parishioners and visitors.

The window film system consists of thicker window films (8 ML and thicker) attached to the frames using wet sealant Dow 995 or mechanical attachment systems.


Many of these films are also available in solar versions that can reduce the heat gain in your facility as well as provide daytime privacy for occupants.
