Protective Glazing Window Film Ship Safe, Advanced Film Solutions

Advanced Film Solutions provided protective glazing security window film for a tanker ship.

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!

Our team protected a sister ship last year docked in Taiwan!

Protect People & Assets With Glazing Window Film

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 Chemicals LLumar, Vista and SunTek
Madico and Madico Sunscape
Saint-Gobain’s Armorcoat
Johnson Laminating
Hanita- Avery-Dennison

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!
