Today is Gasperilla Day in Tampa so in honor of that it’s time to Talk Like A Pirate

Many readers have seen the Captain Phillips movie with Tom Hanks. The freighter is attacked by Somali pirates and the action ensues.

Shipping concerns throughout the world are concerned with this threat and they also can experience small arms fire, etc. that can breach the glass in the control rooms, pilot house, etc.

Thicker clear security glazing films were required and the team at Advanced Film Solutions was ready to provide our LLumar shatter film solutions.

We have completed several ships and are scheduled to complete several more.

The very same clear and tinted versions of these films can provide safety and security for homes and businesses throughout the state of Florida.

Solar security versions factor out glare, heat and lower monthly electric costs.

Several versions provide daytime privacy along with the aforementioned benefits.

This is particularly valuable during a lock down or when your goal is to protect personnel from targeting from an outsider (think scoping!)

Advanced Film Solutions provides attachment systems that meet the physical characteristics of your window system. Typically we use Dow 995 structural sealants. These are the wet seal products used during blast and windstorm testing.

Beating the heat; making your home safer and lowering your monthly electric bill- -Advanced Film Solutions is ready to help!

Let’s look at some recent Case Studies!

Brandon: There have been home burglaries in their community and security film was recommended by a consultant.

 

The homeowner interviewed several window film companies and selected Advanced Film Solutions and our LLumar 8 ML Window Film.

They will have daytime privacy, cut 99.9% of the UV and lowered their monthly electric bill by 20%

New Port Richey:

They have a sun room that has Lexan windows and the heat is incredible.

We are installing a layer of film that is uniquely designed for Lexan and then we will install our Ceramic Film as a second application. Typically a polyester film would fail on plastic, but we found the right solution for our client!

Inverness: This is a beautiful home in a Gated Deed Restricted, Golf Community.

They have west facing windows that get hit by the Sun all afternoon.  Their selection?  Huper Optik 30 Ceramic Film.

Clearwater: Heat again is the problem and it’s the west facing windows that get the application of Vista Luminance 8 ML Safety and Security Film this afternoon!

They also wanted to combine energy cost savings and  protection

Oldsmar:

The entire home will have Vista Terre 31 installed on east, west and south facing glass.

They chose the optical clarity of these films as well as the rebate incentive.  Deed restrictions prevented using any reflective film, and Vista had the perfect answer for them!

Tampa:

Our client wanted a solution that would help lower their electric bills throughout the summer months and winter months.

We installed  Low E Film, the first true Low E solution that transforms single pane glass into dual pane efficiency.

Five homes and choices that match our customers requirements and budget!

The Best Window Film-The Best Installers-The Best Value

Tampa Advanced Safety Security Window Film

There has been interest in perimeter protection anti-intrusion improvements in the wake of the Newtown, Sandy Hook tragedy and Parkland FL tragedies.

School administrators, campus security, parents and government officials are considering a holistic approach that weighs life safety issues against the implementation costs of building and glass hardening.

Glazing security window film coatings have been used for nearly 50 years for improved glass hardening.

llumaradvanced

Federal guidelines were implemented after the Oklahoma City bombing to increase security through thicker shatter resistant fragment retention films.

Advanced Film Solutions, Window Film USA is an expert installer of these thicker window film enhancements.

These coatings are designed to withstand high impact and improve life safety against intrusion and blast events.

We represent the leading manufacturers of these impact resistant coatings:

 
13274657314_fe60e77fbe_b

Eastman Chemical marketed under the LLumar, Vista and Huper Optik brands.

Madico Safety Films

Saint-Gobain marketed as Armorcoat

SunTek

Hanita – Avery Dennison

Johnson

The minimum thickness recommended is 8 ML. This is the standard based upon the increased impact and tensile strength.

These coatings are attached to window frames using a variety of systems with the wet sealant silicone as the most prevalent and most cost efficient.

These coatings have been rigorously tested by the GSA, DoD and in several cases Factory Mutual. They also meet ANSI standards and in several instances the UL972 criteria.
Shatter resistant coatings are available in clear versions that provide maximum visibility.

 

It should be noted that there are solar control iterations of these films that meet the same level of security enhancement but additionally provide glare, energy cost efficiency and privacy (where security officials recommend)

These solar versions offer a ROI for reduction in energy costs as well as improved student productivity with lower glare and more comfortable facilities.

Energy control versions may also qualify for rebates from local power companies.
