Leave a reply

The U.S Department of Veterans Affairs sought to protect their personnel and visitors from potential terrorist attacks by improving their glass protection.

They researched the best company to handle this requirement and contracted with Advanced Film Solutions, Tampa’s leading commercial and residential window film installation company.

 

Following the strict security requirements we enhanced the level of security protection by anchoring the film to the glass utilizing the DOW 995 wet seal.

  • Advanced Film installed 8 ML shatter films that met GSA Level 3A performance specifications.

  • Our shatter blast anti-fragment mitigation film blocks 99.9% of the UVA and UVB

  • Our solar film combination security 8 ML films provided daytime privacy for ground floor personnel and added measure of perimeter protection

  • We completed the project on time and met or exceeded all aspects of the clients requirements.

Advanced Film Solutions offers these same 8 ML shatter films for commercial and industrial facilities and clear or nano-ceramic shatter films for restaurants and retail stores via our local offices.

Florida Security Blast Protection Glazing Window Film

Leave a reply

You can be assured that somewhere in a government office, someone is asking whether all of the 1600 Army Recruiting offices have blast window film installed? 

You can also rest assured that there won’t be a second thought concerning the dozens of stores right alongside these locations.

So the immediate question to be asked is simple, yet a profound one:
 

If the government is only interested in protecting their recruiting office, who is interested in protecting the lives and property of the stores that line the same strip mall??

prepare

Unsuspecting retailers who just happen to be located near a high profile government target deserve the same level of protection as the target itself!

Simply put.

If you operate a store in close proximity to an Army Recruiting office or Federal facility call Advanced Film Solutions, 877-575-3456.

If you own a retail store or offices adjacent to a potential target of terrorism than calling Advanced Film Solutions to protect your location is a smart alternative.

Security Glazing Window Film, Forced Entry Protection, Florida

Leave a reply

Advanced Film Solutions is Florida’s leading window film installation company focused on reinforcing commercial and residential glass openings.

Thicker (8 ML) glazing security films have documented safety improvements compared to unprotected glass. These coatings hold glass in place during a forced entry attack which can be the result of burglary, vandalism, terrorism or violent intentions.

Advanced Film Solutions represents the leading suppliers of safety and security glazing films. These solutions include:

  • LLumar and Vista Security Films manufactured by Eastman Chemical
  • Madico and Sunscape
  • Armorcoat by Saint-Gobain
  • SunTek by Eastman
  • Huper Optik by Eastman
  • Johnson Window Film
  • Avery-Dennison Hanita (manufactured in Israel)

Independent testing documentation is available for all of these solutions covering Federal Government GSA and DOD standards as well as ASTM and UL testing.

It should be noted that typical testing is done with wet sealant attachment systems, notably Dow Corning 995 structural silicone (the industry standard)

It should also be noted that the solar versions of these coatings, IE security glazing films that also feature solar properties for reduced energy usage and or privacy elements meet the same security life safety criteria.

Landmark institutions and buildings throughout the world utilize these systems.

Recent horrific events at schools in the USA have also heightened the awareness of the advantages for implementing these systems when replacing entry level glass is cost prohibitive.

As a personal aside it should be mentioned that 3M security window film offers no additional life safety advantages in in their thinner iterations (5 ml) they are promoting weaker solutions.

Further their solar security combination films are limited to a small number of choices and their attachment systems offer no addition safety or security benefits despite an unusual price premium or suggested improvements in life safety based on micro-layering technology.

Advanced Film Solutions is happy to provide documentation highlighting and demonstrating these facts.

Security glazing window film is a practical, affordable and functional choice for property managers, security and campus facility managers who require force protection, window hardening, fragment retention and intrusion protection.

These coatings are thicker (8 ML) and provide superior strength against intrusion, impact, vandalism and flying debris.

Solar control versions offer solar protection along with the security benefit. This makes your investment offset by lower utility costs.

Advanced Film Solutions has been installing security window films at a record pace during the recent few weeks. 

 

We install thicker 8 ML shatter resistant films that delay, deter and deny entry reinforcing  the weakest link in your perimeter protection;

YOUR GLASS!

As Tampa’s leading window film source we install tested and certified films by the world leaders in security film technology.


LLumar Magnum:  LLumar Magnum films use DuPont Mylar polyester to build UL972 approved films.

These films are Factory Global approved and are available in tinted versions that qualify for Window Film Rebates.

Vista Film: Manufactured by Eastman Performance Films using DuPont poly; these films are less reflective from the interior view than the economically priced LLumar series. 

VISTA offers designer films that meet a higher aesthetic demand and are perfect for the home!

 

Armorcoat: One of the true security film leaders these films are used at military bases, the Capitol Building and Federal Buildings like the Department of Energy and the FBI Building. You can’t get more security concerned than the FEDS!

They selected Armorcoat for good reason.  These films meet the blast testing and GSA testing standards and are optically clear.

If privacy is a concern Armorcoat has tinted and reflective iterations.

SunTek: Economically priced and particularly attractive to commercial concerns these films are thick and priced to move.  SunTek has met GSA Blast standards and passes the ASTM 1886 B standard

Avery- Dennison, Hanita:  Manufactured in Israel, these shatter films are the primary choice for blast protection. Thicker than standard security films the Israelis understand blast protection and fragment retention better than manufacturers located in more peaceful environments.

Advanced Film offers these films and more.

Advanced Film Solutions will provide a free estimate and base the quotation on your specific requirements. 

 

These films are not all the same. There are nuances in the look and reflectivity as well as energy performance and color/hue

Further; should you already have a quote from one of our competitors we will match or beat that with a comparable film or offer a superior choice.
