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.
Advanced Film Solutions has built a team of expert installers who are dedicated to performing the best possible installations.
The shatter protection window film we provide are manufactured by the leaders in the window film industry.
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.

Our in home estimates allow our clients the opportunity to choose the perfect film for their specific requirements and aesthetic preferences.
Reflective, dual reflective coatings:
Our portfolio of films covers a wide range of light transmissions and heat filtering capabilities.
Dual reflective films present a reflective appearance from the exterior view and a lower reflection from the interior. These films allow for night vision and will give the homeowner daytime privacy while factoring out heat.
No other company in Florida has as many choices. The se films range from our 5% straight through light transmissions of 58-60%
Non- Reflective coatings:
Our Ceramic Huper Optik coatings and Vista ceramic and spectrally selective films are less reflective than glass.
These coatings are perfect for deed restricted gated communities and they block a range of total solar energy from 75% to 49%
It should be noted that darker films in any composition factor out more heat than lighter versions of these films. This includes our spectrally selective films that filter out IR wavelengths.
There are some 3M dealers who confuse IR wavelengths with heat. This confusion leads them to make erroneous claims that a lighter 70% film can block 97% of the heat. This is clearly untrue.
Keeping heat, glare and harmful UV from entering your home is serious stuff here in the Tampa Bay, Orlando or Sarasota Bradenton area.
Many homeowners suffer with single pane clear glass windows and sliders.
Drapes, shutters and blinds may offer privacy and some glare control but they provide very little relief from the everyday harsh Florida sun.
Replacing windows is a very expensive proposition and in many cases unnecessary.
Window film can stop 99.9% of the UV and up to 75%-80% of the heat.
Advanced Film Solutions has the most complete portfolio of Eastman dual reflective films like LLumar and Vista.
These are energy efficient films that offer incomparable heat control.
These films present a reflective appearance on the exterior face of your windows.
This can be a benefit when privacy is required but nevertheless there are many instances when the reflective appearance is not preferred or simply prohibited by your HOA rules or Deed Restrictions.
The solution is our Eastman Huper Optik series of nano-ceramic IR filtering coatings.
The Huper Optik films are dye free so the color is stable and won’t fade over time. This is a significant advantage over the 3M prestige films.
Huper Optik adhesive quality is vastly superior to the hazy adhesives used by 3M prestige
Huper Optik offers more light transmissions including darker 20%, 30% and 35% while 3M is limited to their prestige 40 in their darkest choice.
If glare is an issue (and when isn’t it?) this is yet another superior advantage.
Both 3M and Huper Optik filter out IR wavelengths and of course both films work better at angles (this is a 3M sales tactic that has no merit in fact.)
Huper Optik and 3M are NFRC certified so consumers can get objective performance comparisons by referring to this quasi-governmental agency.
We are happy to provide free estimates and sample films for your HOA approvals.
