Advanced Film Solutions, Tampa School Campus Security Window Film

Glass safety enhancement with Advanced Film Solutions shatter resistant window film.

The unfortunate reality in the USA was 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.

Protect Your Tampa Store With Advanced Film Solutions Glazing Film

One unfortunate result of stay at home orders is the closing of many non essential businesses in the Tampa Bay area.

Storefront businesses like retail shops, restaurants, jewelry stores are closed.

These unmanned locations are a target for burglars.

Whether you have an alarm system and video surveillance is immaterial. These thieves smash and grab inventory before law enforcement has time to respond.

Some business owners have installed plywood like we would during hurricane events. Obviously this is labor intensive and an eye sore.

Advanced Film Solutions installs protective glazing security window film on your storefront glass including doors and windows.

These are clear optically transparent coatings that serve to hold glass in the frames.

We attach the high security impact strength film to the frames to create a complete system that prevents intrusion.

More importantly these systems are inexpensive, effective and are warranted for 15 years.

These are the very same mitigation films employed by the Federal government throughout the USA and major retail stores, landmark buildings, schools and houses of worship.

When these difficult times are over our films will still protect your location from impact, shattering and UV damage.

Advanced Film Solutions Security Film Comparison Vs. 3M

When the facility managers at a large Orlando complex recognized the value of a security solar window film installation on their curtain wall their initial inclination was to look at 3M.

The 3M specification indicated their 8 ML shatter film with a solar component for east and west facing glass.

Advanced Film Solutions was able to communicate the greater value for the installation of Eastman Chemical LLumar Vista Solar security film.

The advantages of the Advanced Film Solutions was higher solar filtering properties, equal or greater puncture and tensile strength and no loss in any documented independent shatter film security life safety standard.

Furthermore, the proposed and accepted attachment standard wet sealant is an industry and government accepted standard.

Advanced Film Solutions is unique in our ability to provide superior installations of window film for commercial and government buildings throughout Florida.

Our team of experts meets all our client’s requirements in terms of timeliness, as well as the desired safety improvement at the best value in the industry.

The Eastman portfolio includes 10 X the number of choices as compared to the extremely limited 3M portfolio. Here again the LLumar, Vista shatter control films never takes a step backward as directly compared to whatever 3M film is being proposed.

This level playing field based on GSA, Department of Defense, Army Corps of Engineers and building codes is our distinct advantage.

If the client’s perception is that 3M is the best choice that perception can only be based on the brand recognition rather than the actual field efficacy of the competitive films Advanced Film Solutions offers.

The same advantage holds for residential installations of solar clear or solar security combination films.
