As a property owner or facilities manager of a high profile building or potential target of terrorism or hate crimes you are obviously concerned with taking proactive security measures to protect employees, visitors and assets.

Your building security program should encompass basic building security matters (i.e., routine protection of persons, property, and information) as well as protection strategies against extraordinary events such as a terrorist act.

 

There are a host of organizations (religious, hospitality, education, medical, testing laboratories, etc.) that require sound and effective security measures and perimeter protection.

Advanced Film Solutions installation crews were busy this week performing window film installations throughout the Tampa Bay, Sarasota and Orlando regions.

Our clients had a variety of problems that called for our portfolio of energy savings solutions.

Restaurants:

We removed defective film from a large well known chain store. Their old film had turned purple and the glare was hurting their business and customer comfort.

We removed the old film and replaced it with our Vista solar Films. Now they are glare free

Commercial Buildings:

We removed old defective films on two buildings in the Largo Florida area. These films had also turned purple and the appearance of the buildings was unacceptable. 

We removed this older tint and installed solar bronze films.  Now they have a streamlined glass appearance and they qualified for Duke Energy rebates.

Homes: We completed 12 home window film installations in a variety of aesthetic choices. Huper Optik for a well appointed ranch home in New Port Richey as well as a stunning homes in Tampa Palms, Land O’Lakes and Wesley Chapel.

Our Vista Films were installed in homes in Land O’ Lakes and Spring Hill.

The key reasons for installation?
 
  • Glare is an all year problem.

  • UV fading is also an all year problem. These films remove 99.9% of the UV rays that hasten fade.

  • Energy Cost Savings: Our films lower utility costs by as much as 30% a month. 

  • Improved security

  • Improved privacy.

  • Improved property appearance and curb appeal.

Spring is here and while it may be a bit chilly today, we all know how hot it’s going to become in the coming weeks!

Advanced Film Solutions installs solar film and combination solar safety films that stop heat, glare and UV at the window.

Many Florida homes have annealed glass windows (tempered glass breaks into small pieces, while annealed breaks into large, jagged ones that can cause greater injury.)

Typically the only safety glass are tempered sliders near the lanai.


From a security aspect and safety perspective the installation of shatter glazing films makes sense!

Advanced Film Solutions is the  leader in superior performing shatter glazing films.

Our coatings are thicker and meet safety glazing standards for impact.

The installation transforms annealed glass into safety glass which is ideal for restaurant windows, home glass, condo’s etc.

Solar versions of these safety films block heat and glare and lower your monthly electric bills by as much as 30%.

The safe choice  installed by professionals; it just makes sense.
