Solar & Safety Window Film Benefits for Summer, 2023

Through the previous six decades, window film has been demonstrated to provide protection for life and property safety.

Thicker mylar films hold glass in place against impact from intrusion, winds, and blast.

The efficacy of shatter window film has been tested in real world experience and quantified through independent testing by the GSA and the US Department of Defense for force protection on Federal buildings and embassies.

The bottom line is that shatter control window film does reduce the risk of smashed glass and flying debris particularly when the window film is properly attached to the window or slider frames using a wet sealant system.

Advanced Film Solutions team of installers are experts in the installation of thick clear and solar combination window film.

There are aesthetic differences in shatter window film in terms of light transmission and reflectivity.

Clear films are utilized for security objective only while combination solar safety films are used for the security benefit as well as privacy and heat plus glare rejection.

Advanced Film Solutions installs Eastman Chemical’s tested films from LLumar, Vista and SunTek. We also represent Madico films and Avery Dennison Hanita films for specific projects and specifications.

Homeowners who are interested in improving their security protection to reinforce glass openings against impact would be wise to consider the combination solar safety films since there will be an improved return on investment in lowered electric cooling costs and comfort.

Tampa Window Film Alternative Before Buying New Windows

Many Tampa Bay area homeowners are considering replacing their windows for insulated glass units.

Glass companies will try to convince you that your existing windows are too energy deficient to handle the heat and UV.

They make a case that only dual pane windows will lower your monthly electric cooling costs  throughout our tropical summers.

The price tag for a complete window replacement is cost-prohibitive and the payback period is extensive; frequently in the order of 20 years!

There is a better solution: Advanced Film Solutions.

Window film is applied to your existing windows at a cost that is 1/10 that of a window replacement.

The payback is typically less than 2 years and the warranty is lifetime.

Our NFRC rated coatings increase the efficiency of your windows by filtering out nearly 80% of the heat gain.

Glare is controlled and the damaging UV rays are eliminated.

Many of your neighbors have experienced the dramatic difference that window film can make in your home and Advanced Film Solutions has performed  more than 14,000 installations in the last several years throughout Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota-Bradenton.

Our philosophy is pretty simple:

We offer the best performing thin films manufactured by the world leader in window film, Eastman Chemical.

We customize the solution based on our clients requirements.

Many homeowners prefer no reflective coatings either based on personal aesthetic preferences or mandated deed restrictions. Advanced Film has you covered with our Huper Optik patented ceramic films.

Some clients prefer privacy that is provided by low reflective coatings like Vista or LLumar.

Many homeowners want the dual benefit of safety, security combined with solar control films.  These thicker versions keep intruders out of your home.

Advanced Film Solutions are experts in window film and our team has earned an A Plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and has been awarded the Super Service Award by Angie’s List for nine years.

Protecting Homes One Window At A Time. Advanced Film Solutions

Protecting your home from burglary or shattered glass requires critical thinking and preparation.

You should start by considering that your home’s windows and sliders are the weakest entry points for burglars!

Our security films delay, deny and deter entry!

Security glazing window film is a primary element for improving your home security.

Thieves recognize that glass windows and sliders are the easiest point of entry into your home.

Glazing protection film makes an easy break-in much more difficult by holding the glass in place.

These thicker coatings (typically 8 ML) are available in clear versions as well as a host of tinted alternatives ranging in light transmissions and appearance.

Many homeowners considering a solar control UV solution can opt for these thicker versions of solar films that also provide energy savings along with the built in security benefits of protective films.

Delaying and denying entry will let law enforcement respond in time from your alarm systems and this will deter theft.

Sun Control Safety Security Window Film, Tampa Bay, Orlando, Sarasota

We look through windows every day, but it’s easy to overlook the safety risks they present.

When windows or sliders shatter, serious injuries can result.

Injuries can occur from opening or closing the window or pushing on it too hard; sometimes they occur without any contact at all.

Use Shatter Retention Window Film to Reduce the Risk of Shattering

The aftermarket  installation of thick clear or solar safety film in windows with which impact is likely, such as floor-length windows, sliders, doors containing glass, or windows in common areas of residence halls or crowded hallways is critically important.

Advanced Film Solutions is expert in the proper installation and anchoring of shatter film.

This specialized capability has been acquired over decades of installation experience.  It is a serious obligation to leave every installation with the assurance that the window film was properly installed according to manufacturers specifications.

The choice of film:

Advanced Film Solutions has successfully installed shatter film at thousands of homes and offices, retail stores and educational institutions to name a few.

Our experience at 3M for 33 years and more recently the last 16 years since we launched our family owned window film dealership.

We have developed a long respectful relationship with multiple security film manufacturers all of whom have demonstrated safety efficacy and optical clarity and long-term durability.

Beyond that; these safety films have all met the objective criteria of independent testing conducted by Federal agencies like the GSA and Department of Defense.

The health and life safety performance of the Eastman, Madico, Saint-Gobain, Avery Dennison and 3M are equivalent.

The differences are specifically related to the aesthetic variations including light transmission, clarity, reflectivity from the exterior view or the interior view.

Our experience and industry knowledge guide our consulting direction and we have found the LLumar and Vista security and solar films as the most flexible in meeting client expectations. This is not to say that these films meet a higher safety level but rather these films match our client’s aesthetic preferences.

Glass safety in homes and commercial government buildings is a critical issue.

Schools, religious institutions, retail stores and government buildings have all employed these shatter films to protect students, teachers, parishioners and visitors.

The time to implement glass protection window film is now!

Every so often we are called in by our manufacturer’s to assist one of their clients who made the unfortunate decision to have a local car tinter apply film on their home.

The car tinting film is not designed to withstand the Florida climate on flat glass (home or commercial property)

These folks may offer a low ball price but to coin a phrase “You get what you pay for!”

In one recent home what they got was bubbles and a purple hazy mess after only 3 years.

The car tinter refused to honor any warranty and the manufacturer requested that Advanced Film Solutions rip off that car tinting mess an install a high performance LLumar film in it’s place.

 

My first point is to highlight the fact that Eastman honored their warranty despite the fact that the wrong film was installed on a high end home. The customer was made completely whole!

My second point is that Advanced Film Solutions was asked to do the heavy lifting by removing all the defective film. We were trusted because we do exactly what we promise our clients we will do every day.

The third point is to follow “Caveat Emptor” Buyer Beware!
