We should note that our single competition 3M Safety and Security Film does NOT offer any documented safety or security advantage over any of the scores of choices we install on a daily basis.
There is absolutely no advantage for 3M or performance benefit measurable by any independent testing; nor can 3M provide any documented advantage.
In fact the 3M portfolio is extremely limited in the selections offered in terms of appearance, light transmissions and reflectivity.

Advanced Film Solutions is the leading window film installation company in the Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Sarasota region of Florida.

It is important that our potential clients understand that we are providing thin film applications on existing windows and glass doors and sliders that stop heat, glare and UV.
These films are durable and optically transparent, and our clients select just how dark or light they want their rooms to be during the daytime.
There may be an element of skepticism concerning the effectiveness or durability of window film solutions out in the collective consciousness of the consumer’s mind.
This negative perception is based on the purple, bubbling tint they see on some cars on our roads.
The thought is: “if this is what is going to happen to my window film, I’d rather take my chances with the clear glass I already have!”
We understand.
There was a time when window tinting was made using dyes and less than durable adhesives. These films wouldn’t last very long, peeled and bubbles while turning purple. Even today some cheaply made tints can have the same result.
Advanced Film Solutions will only install stable, lifetime warranted coatings manufactured by Eastman Chemicals. These thin films won’t peel, bubble or change color.
These coatings are distortion free and do exactly what we say they will do as documented by the NFRC in independent testing.
Our clients have their expectations matched or exceeded every time.
We won’t settle for anything less.
Advanced Film Solutions has performed more than 32,000 installations throughout the Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota region as well as commercial windows throughout the south east USA.
We are dedicated to solving the problems of overheated rooms, flying debris and faded furnishings.

The bridge deck windows were protected with LLumar Clear Shatter Control window film.
The application was further hardened with a wet seal attachment system that creates a system between the glass, frames and the LLumar Film.
This application will maintain the integrity of the window envelope. If Somali pirates shoot at the bridge windows the glass will remain in the frames. This is similar to the objectives of retail store asset protection and school safety requirements.
Many of our local government building have contracted with Advanced Film Solutions to protect their people and property.
The optical clarity and documented performance combined with the installation capabilities of our techs made this smooth sailing!
