We don’t have to remind you just how volatile the world can be.
Protecting people and property is the obligation of any asset protection, security director or property manager.
Advanced Film Solutions provides GSA tested and Department of Defense tested security glazing window film.
These thicker coatings are applied to windows and doors.
Consider our 3M Scotchshield and 3M Prestige Ultra solar security window film. These are the most specified shatter resistant window films for public and private schools throughout the USA.

We are all painfully familiar with the series of threats, both real and inferred, targeting religious institutions across the USA.
These threats are not isolated to a specific religious group or category of school.

Protective glazing films are employed by the Federal Government to protect military personnel, Federal buildings, state and local governments and landmark buildings that may be the target of terrorism threats.
These coatings meet strict standards and documented, tested capabilities to withstand blast and intrusion.
Our team professionally installs these coatings to the interior (and exterior in some cases) of the building envelope on the exterior facing windows and doors.
Attachment systems are utilized to fix the film installation to building frames thus creating a complete system that bonds the glass in place.
Shatter resistant coatings are available in clear as well as combination solar iterations that will lower interior temperatures, provide privacy and lower monthly electric cooling costs.
These invisible systems are cost effective and offer superior life saving benefits.

The unfortunate reality in the USA is the high rate of shooting incidents at schools.
This was the harsh reality and whatever one’s political persuasion concerning weapons, mental health and second amendment debates; our primary consideration is student and teacher protection.
One significant aspect of a security approach beyond law enforcement or onsite security personnel is an increase in perimeter protection and access.
Glass is the weakest point of entry for any facility.
Thicker safety films when properly installed and attached to the window frames have a documented improvement for student protection.
Independent testing throughout the decades by the Federal government through the GSA, Army Corp of Engineering and the Department of Defense have demonstrated the efficacy of these films.

These films meet the stringent requirements for force protection and fragment retention and impact. All the films we provide have met these standards.
There are differences in appearance between these films that are primarily based upon the solar safety combined films.
This type of glass safety film combines a thin film solution in combination with a thick shatter film.
The nuances in appearance include the appearance of the shatter film, privacy level and reflectivity.
This aesthetic consideration is important when school safety administrators determine what type of “look” they want for their school.
Privacy considerations become critical for keeping potential threats from observing what is happening within the school.
Highly reflective films will prevent scoping and simultaneously lower interior glare and heat which is a great concern for schools in warmer climates.
Advanced Film Solutions offers the most choices in shatter film appearance while maintaining the highest level of protection.
Property managers, asset protection, and security management have the critical responsibility to ensure safety for people and assets at soft target locations.
By soft target we are referring to facilities that may be targeted by extremists for potential explosives where security personnel are not typically employed.
Glass is an ineffective barrier and flying glass shards and debris can become catastrophic during a blast event.

Many property and asset protection managers consider solar safety security films that not only provide the life safety benefits but also provide solar heat gain reduction and privacy (reflective combination films.)
We recommend that you consider a free site survey and estimate.
These are difficult times and no one is happy about the need to consider these covert methods for protecting your personnel and assets.
Nevertheless; if you are concerned about a potential threat (think religious institution or schools) than these effective methods should be strongly considered!
Protecting your property, people and assets from vandalism, criminal entry or terrorism is unfortunately a growing concern during these turbulent times.
