Given the recent attacks throughout the world it has become critically important to consider life safety measures to protect people from flying glass; the result of an explosion.
One simple, yet effective measure for asset protection and safety managers is the employment of glazing security window film attached to curbside terminal glass and entry way vestibules.
Advanced Film Solutions expert installers is well versed in the application of clear and tinted versions of these thicker (8 ML) shatter control films.
The history of effectiveness has been well-documented.
Our security films when properly installed and attached to the frames has met the criteria established by the Federal government post Oklahoma City, 1994.
The major window film manufacturers have had their security glazing films tested independently to meet GSA and Department of Defense standards for blast.
Advanced Film represents the Eastman portfolio of security films that includes LLumar, Vista, SunTek and Huper Optik.

The ship was docked for resupply and their primary concern was the protection of their crew against pirates at sea.
The bridge deck windows were protected with LLumar Clear Shatter Control window film.
The application was further hardened with a wet seal attachment system that creates a system between the glass, frames and the LLumar Film.
This application will maintain the integrity of the window envelope. If Somali pirates shoot at the bridge windows the glass will remain in the frames. This is similar to the objectives of retail store asset protection and school safety requirements.
Many of our local government building have contracted with Advanced Film Solutions to protect their people and property.
The optical clarity and documented performance combined with the installation capabilities of our techs made this smooth sailing!

Window film is an after-market solution that in many ways improves the performance of your existing windows and sliders.
In the best of circumstances our perfect customer is a home or business owner who is dealing with excessive heat, glare or fading in their home coupled with rising cooling costs and a critical eye toward home security.

Solar control window film has been available since the 1950’s.
The evolution of thin film technology and adhesives has vastly improved over these decades as you would expect.
Today’s high teach window films are available in many iterations that provide durable high heat rejection warranted for a lifetime of comfort and reliability.
Many consumers prefer lighter coatings that are nearly invisible to cut high temperatures without altering the aesthetic appearance of their home’s windows, doors and sliders.
Stop and visit our booth at the Tampa Home Show today through Sunday at the Convention Center!
The key objective is to lower cooling costs without adding any interior or exterior reflectivity. This becomes critically important for deed restricted communities or condominium associations that prohibit reflective films.
The solution required to provide this type of heat rejection without substantially darkening the windows is the implementation of IR heat rejecting films that attack the invisible wavelengths. IR wavelengths represent nearly 50% of the total solar energy.
Since visible light wavelengths represent the balance of the total solar energy a window film that combines visible and IR filtering will provide the best value for the home consumer.
Advanced Film Solutions represents the Eastman Chemical’s Huper Optik IR heat blocking solar films.
Huper Optik is available in multiple light transmissions that attack visible and IR heat.
The ceramic coatings are responsible for light filtering rather than dyes. Dyes will color migrate and fade in a short amount of time. It may also be the case where surface applied dyes are easily scratched from the film.
Petented Huper Optik is 100% dye free and the combination of visible light and IR rejection is unsurpassed in the industry.
Key FAQ’s:
IR heat lamp gimmicks will appear to demonstrate superior heat rejection but the sales demonstration is an illusion. Since visible light represents 50% of total solar energy any IR heat lamp demo is automatically leaving out 50% of the typical homes heat gain.
All window film works better when the sun is at an angle to the windows. There is no film that provides any additional capabilities compared to another at an angle.
Ceramic films are far more durable than dyed coatings (refer to 3M Prestige multi-layered optical films,)
Advanced Film Solutions is a team effort and I appreciate the incredible work of our sales, office and installation teams that have all contributed to our success!
