Tampa, Orlando How To Choose Between Security & Solar Window Film

Fall is almost upon us and Floridians now under stay at home orders consider methods for keeping their homes cooler and safer.

Advanced Film Solutions is the region leader in window film solutions and installation capabilities.

To be sure we have been developing our capabilities for the last 15 years and prior to that 33 years at 3M.

Our portfolio of solutions is unmatched and our installers are some of the best in the world. That’s not a guess or hype; we actually placed 2 of our installers in the top eight in the world.

The question at hand is how to decide between a strictly solar control window film as compared to a thicker (8 ML) clear or solar safety window film?

Solar films are thin film coatings available in a wide array of light transmissions. These coatings stop UV and as much as 85% of the total solar energy (Heat!)

Thicker safety iterations perform the solar control function but as they are much thicker these versions have a far greater puncture resistance and impact capabilities.

Above and below our installation at Sarasota International Airport for protective glazing blast mitigation concerns.

There are less solar security versions than the thinner versions and a slight cost uplift for the thicker coatings as compared to the thinner versions.

Advanced Film Solutions offers several brands of solar films and safety films manufactured by Eastman Chemical LLumar Select and Vista as well as SunTek.

We also install Madico and Sunscape, Avery Dennison Hanita and Solar Gard/ Armorcoat films.

If you are concerned about home intrusion or burglary or your home or office is subject to flying debris or an errant golf ball you should consider the thicker versions.

The industry is circumspect about defining the thicker films as a storm protection mitigation device.  These films do hold the glass in the frames when properly attached but the window will likely shatter whereas a code meeting shutter will prevent the window from breaking.

Advanced Film Solutions will discuss all of your options and provide the very best custom solutions all with a lifetime warranty.

Window Film UV Protection For Tampa Bay, Orlando Homes

Most consumers are familiar with window film and why thousands of home and business owners solve their heat and glare problems with solar control window film.

UV window film helps prevent sun damage

The primary source of UV (ultraviolet) radiation is sunlight. Window films and some coverings provide UV filtering without blocking substantial visible light. UV filtering of sunlight will help to safeguard prints, furnishings, wood floors and textiles, while also reducing heat entering through a window.

These quality, professionally installed films are available for homes and businesses where your wood floors, artwork and drapes are all susceptible to UV damage.

Advanced Film Solutions has the widest portfolio of window film solutions that all stop 99.9% of harmful damaging UV rays from entering your home or office.

Stopping UV means your wood floors will last far longer in the battle against the Florida sun!

Darker versions will also lower heat and light which also contributes to wood floor damage!

Advanced Film Solutions recommends our Eastman window film that includes LLumar SelectPro, Vista and the ceramic Huper Optik.
