Tampa Shatter Window Film, Safer Living, Covert Protection

Glass is the weakest point in a building’s security profile.

After all it only takes a few seconds to smash through glass.

Burglars understand this and reinforcing window and door openings is the first step in a security improvement plan.

Advanced Film Solutions are experts in protective glazing window film applications having installed our security films in thousands of stores, schools, religious organizations and homes throughout the last thirteen years.

Our team has protected the Sarasota International Airport as one prime example for blast protection.

Thicker security films are designed to hold glass in place particularly when reinforced with a attachment system that locks the glass into the frames around the glass.

Our portfolio of shatter films is unmatched and these films all meet GSA standards and Department of Defense specifications.

Eastman Chemical LLumar and Vista Films are available in multiple light filtering choices including dual reflective versions.

Tampa Bay, Orlando Window Film Consumer Comparisons

Advanced Film Solutions is proud to promote the  Eastman Chemical window film products.

What  consumers may not know is that Eastman Chemical is the world’s largest manufacturer of solar and solar security window film.

Their brands include LLumar, Vista, SunTek and Huper Optik.

Still there may be a perception that 3M is the leader in window film based on their well known Scotch brands, etc. and this inaccurate belief may skew some consumers into believing that the 3M window film is the top choice for residential and commercial films.

This is decidedly not the case in any objective comparison of product depth, capabilities or performance.

Eastman films out-perform the limited 3M choices in each major product category:

Solar Films:

The Eastman solar film portfolio includes a wider choice in light transmissions and appearance.

Reflective and dual reflective films as well as non-reflective ceramic and spectrally selective films.

These Eastman films are all NFRC certified and can easily be compared to the very limited 3M NFRC database. In terms of security films used for life safety and asset protection there is really no comparison.

Eastman’s LLumar film meets all critical testing requirements including GSA, DOD and ASTM and European Smash standards.

Choices include several neutral choices, silver and several dual reflective security films as well as thicker coatings of 7, 8, 11 ml or thicker for various applications.

The Huper Optik ceramic films are IR heat blocking choices ideal for deed restricted or gated communities.

These films out-perform the 3M prestige series as they provide superior heat rejection and better glare control features.

Additionally the clarity of the Eastman adhesives is superior to the 3M adhesives.

Huper Optik is dye free unlike the aforementioned Prestige films, so the heat filtering capabilities of the Huper Film will not degrade over time.

Competitive Edge, Window Film For Tampa Bay Consumers

The window film business has been around since the 1960’s and you would be correct in assuming that given the tropical climate here in Florida there might be many window film companies to meet the demand.

Advanced Film Solutions began our path to becoming Florida’s number one window film company in 2007.

Prior to this launch we worked for 3M for 33 years. Our experience as south east sales executive and national sales manager for 3M window film was a strong foundation for this fledgling business.

The competitive landscape in 2007 was a daunting challenge.

Our goal was to develop our business from the ground floor by offering the best performing selections of window film using the best installers in the Tampa Bay region.

Advanced Film Solutions has grown during these last nearly 16 years.

We have built the best team of fully trained and experienced installers.

Our film portfolio has grown as well as we have adapted our product solutions to include the NFRC certified films manufactured by Eastman Chemical, Avery-Dennison, Madico, Saint-Gobain and 3M Fasara and Scotchcal.

Our customers matter. Meeting their expectations is the main objective because growth depends on our reputation and positive referrals.

The need in Florida for cooling solar and solar safety films is acute. Advanced Film Solutions is there for you and is ready to make your home comfortable and safe.
