Home Security Protective Window Film For Tampa Homes

Throughout the long history (nearly 60 years) of the window film industry thicker security glazing window film coatings provided a significant level of protection against forced entry, smash and grab crimes and wind blown flying debris.

12992_618168704883271_1326451465_n

The Federal government has used these films to protect GSA and Military personnel and property around the USA as well as overseas.

Blast protection (mitigation) particularly after Oklahoma City focused on a specified level of protection and Federal officials determined a baseline level of performance expectations that many manufacturers have met (documented testing available.)

Advanced Film Solutions is unique by offering multiple brand alternatives but all of our selections meet or exceed the DoD and GSA testing requirements.

These choices include Eastman Chemical’s LLumar, Vista and SunTek security films.

Stop burglar

Madico and Sunscape security films.

Armorcoat by Saint-Gobain

Johnson Laminating

Avery- Dennison Hanita Films manufactured in Israel.

There are certainly aesthetic differences as one might expect between these brand offerings.

Metallic privacy and silver films, clear or lightly tinted iterations as well as multiple light transmissions and levels of reflective or non-reflective.

In all cases Advanced Film Solutions offers an optional but highly recommended Dow 995 attachment system that anchors the film, frames and glass into one complete system.

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.

Why glazing security films:

The bottom line is the efficacy value of these coatings.

Thicker 8 ML coatings hold glass in place against force and physical attack.

They are recommended for blast protection and store burglary protection. These films are employed by school districts to prevent intrusion by armed perpetrators.

These films have been tested and have met wind storm small and medium large missile impact testing and cycling

Most home and business owners require solar versions of these films to lower cooling costs or provide privacy.

The dual benefit of a solar security combination film improves the ROI immeasurably.

Florida homes and businesses choose Advanced Film Solutions.

Clear, Durable & Effective Tampa Bay, Orlando Window Film Solutions

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

It has taken more than a decade of success as a family owned business to reach this high level of performance.

In fact, Advanced Film Solutions has been one of the top 15 window film businesses in the entire country the last seven years as documented in Window Film Magazine.

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.
