Advanced Film Solutions team of installation experts can take your single pane glass and strengthen them against impact and burglary.
These thicker coatings are the very same films used by the Federal Government to protect military personnel and GSA facilities throughout the country.
Advanced Film Solutions has done our share of government security installations including numerous county and city municipalities throughout the region as well as child care centers and the Sarasota International Airport.
Homeowners can choose from a wide selection of combination solar protection films manufactured by global leaders like Eastman Chemical’s Vista and LLumar Film, Saint-Gobain, Madico, Avery-Dennison and Johnson.
These coatings provide the same solar control and UV benefits along with security protection against intrusion.

Tampa, Orlando, St.Pete, Clearwater, Sarasota all face heat, glare, sun damage and shatter security concerns!
Storefront businesses like retail shops, restaurants, jewelry stores are targets for vandalism and break and entry..
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.
Our films will still protect your location from impact, shattering and UV damage.

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.
Property managers, asset protection, and security management have the critical responsibility to ensure safety for people and assets at soft target locations.
By soft target we are referring to facilities that may be targeted by extremists for potential explosives where security personnel are not typically employed.
Glass is an ineffective barrier and flying glass shards and debris can become catastrophic during a blast event.
The Federal Government under the auspices of the GSA and Department of Defense have established blast mitigation standards since the Oklahoma City bombing in 1994.
The Glazing protection films installed by Advanced Film Solutions meets these standards and these films provide this level of documented, tested people and asset protection.
It is highly recommended that the film installation is attached to storefront frames using an approved attachment system.
Advanced Film Solutions typically utilizes Dow Corning 995 Structural Silicone which has been tested and approved by the Federal officials including the Army Corps. of Engineers.
Advanced Film Solutions is flexible in the approved window film brands that meet these standards.
Eastman Chemical LLumar, Vista and SunTek
Madico and Madico Sunscape
Saint-Gobain’s Armorcoat
Johnson Laminating

There are aesthetic variations between these films but the safety level is equal as all the films represented meet the GSA standards.
Many property and asset protection managers consider solar safety security films that not only provide the life safety benefits but also provide solar heat gain reduction and privacy (reflective combination films.)
We recommend that you consider a free site survey and estimate.
These are difficult times and no one is happy about the need to consider these covert methods for protecting your personnel and assets.
Nevertheless; if you are concerned about a potential threat (think religious institution or schools) than these effective methods should be strongly considered!

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.
Tampa area homeowners face many challenges throughout the year.
The tropical temperatures bake our homes and offices which results in high electric cooling costs.
There is also a growing number of home invasions and burglary throughout the region.
Advanced Film Solutions with offices throughout Tampa Bay, Clearwater, St. Pete, Sarasota and Orlando help clients address these two disparate issues with the application of solar security window films on doors, sliders and ground level windows.
Your unprotected glass is an easy point of entry for thieves. Our thicker security films serve to deny, deter and delay entry.
This precious time provides law enforcement more time to respond to alarms and you more time to react.
Our window film security coatings are available in clear versions as well as dozens of combination solar safety films.
Combined these coatings lower cooling costs, provide glare and UV protection and lower monthly electric costs.
Several reflective versions offer an additional daytime privacy feature which is potentially yet another benefit.
Solar safety window film is the choice for asset protection managers who protect retail stores, schools and Federal offices throughout the state.
Homeowners can also benefit from these incredible cost-effective solutions!
Keeping heat from entering your home is a challenge for Tampa Bay homeowners.

Totally non-metallic these films meet all deed restrictions and gated community rules.
The best time to tackle rising cooling costs and maintain comfort throughout the year is right now.
Protecting your property, people and assets from vandalism, criminal entry or terrorism is unfortunately a growing concern during these turbulent times.
