Sun Heat Combination Shatter Control 3M Window Film Florida Built 2:12 AM (19 hours ago)
Glass entrance doors and storefront glazing were built to allow openness and visibility for retail stores, office buildings, hospitals health care institutions and notably school campus buildings.
Unfortunately recent events have focused attention on methods for improved safety and security since glass is easily breached with ballistic weapons and personnel and property can be damaged by blast spalling, debris and flying glass.
Advanced Film Solutions installs thicker (8 ML plus) glazing films on your existing glass entry doors and windows. These coatings are anchored to the frames creating a system that withstands high impact, blast and intrusion.
Our 3M Scotchshield Ultra and 3M Prestige Ultra are top of mind for asset protection managers throughout the USA. The recent addition of the 3M 24 Ml shatter film has raised the bar for shatter resistance!
The key objective is to delay, deny and deter entry.
Our window film meets that objective at an economical cost and a swift implementation process.
Certainly administration officials and concerned parties should discuss long range plans that may include laminated glass or reducing the window envelope throughout your buildings. These are alternatives that may suit your budget or security concerns if there are extenuating circumstances.
Nevertheless our security glazing films have been installed on US Embassy, Federal Buildings, Airports and local landmark buildings, retail stores and county government offices throughout Florida and the USA.
Property management and facility security personnel can decide upon the level of visibility into the facility since we offer a wide range of alternatives.
Transparent clear coatings maintain the appearance of your building but many decision makers select modestly tinted security films to reduce glare and improve interior comfort.
In many cases security management will select privacy versions so intruders can not observe students or employees which protects them from being targeted from the exterior.
Our coatings have been independently tested for GSA, DoD, ASTM and UL facility criteria and guidelines.

Tampa Window Tinting DIY Vs. The Pro’s At Advanced Film Solutions 20 Oct 2:21 AM (2 days ago)
You’re ambitious, frugal and handy
AND. .
Tired of that glare, heat and fading.
You’ve heard of tinting for your car and when you walked past the Home Depot display for window tinting; you couldn’t resist buying a roll, or two of Gila Film.
Advanced Film Solutions has performed more than 44,000 home installations since we launched our company in early 2007.
Quite a few (too many to mention) were fix up installations.
We were called in to rip off these tints and do it right. . .the second time with3M Prestige, Night Vision, Vista, Huper Optik or LLumar Film.
We’ve seen our share of installers over the years.
Guys and ladies who actually do this type of work for a living; and there is a wide gap in installation skill sets and ability.
- Bubbles: Too much water, or too little.
- Gaps: The glass area between the window frame and the film. A novice leaves wide gaps that let sunlight in and look horrible!
- Straight cuts: We use film handlers to get a factory edge novice DIY tint amateurs do free hand cuts.
- Lines and creases: When our installers do a project there are no lines or creases. That’s because they have developed the skill over thousands of installations to do outstanding work.
- The film itself: The film you buy for DIY installations is typically very limited in variety, durability and aesthetics. Of course; you might be a big fan of purple tint??
- Warranty: We provide a written lifetime warranty and our 3M, Vista, LLumar and Huper Optik warranty is a lifetime warranty.
If you care how your home looks; then take those rolls back to Depot and call:

Tenant, Visitor Comfort For Florida’s Coolest Offices. Think Today’s Window Film 16 Oct 3:47 AM (6 days ago)
Window film retrofit applications have been demonstrated to provide immediate cost savings benefits for commercial property managers throughout Florida.
The retrofit application of Advanced Film Solutions Eastman Solar Film provides a quantifiable cost reduction in Hvac operating costs as well as productivity gains in employee performance.
Today’s durable coatings filter 99.9% of the UV rays from entering office windows.
This reduces fading of interior accessories and wood floors and paintings.
There are also health benefits considering skin cancer issues that will also be beneficial.
- Uncontrolled daylight coming in through windows can cause glare, employee and visitor discomfort, warm temperatures, hot/cold spots, and HVAC systems to run excessively to try to keep up.
- A building’s directional orientation can create areas that receive significantly more sunlight than others. Depending on the sophistication of a facility’s HVAC system, this can create challenges for maintaining comfort.
- A major component of any building envelope is its fenestration (windows, doors, skylights, and curtainwalls). A 10% to 40 % reduction in lighting and HVAC costs can be achieved by improving the energy efficiency of fenestration of commercial buildings, according to the National Institute of Building Sciences.
- According to the U.S. Department of Energy, windows account for 10% to 25% of heating bills, and are the greatest source of heat loss or gain in any building. That’s where our Low E Films win the day!
- According to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, space heating, cooling, and ventilation account for the largest amount of end-use energy consumption in buildings.
- Using window film to control the sun’s heat allows staff to leave blinds and curtains open and enjoy outdoor views and exposures with controlled daylight. This can improve health and well being for patients, reduce exposure to harmful UV rays, and increase productivity for staff members.
- Window film has been proven to offer significant savings on both heating and cooling costs with metered measurement and verification of cooling and heating savings. Studies have shown that window film can provide a significant increase in useful daylight (and in staff satisfaction and comfort levels).
- Window film is a retrofit solution for facilities professionals who want to control solar heat gain and glare, provide UV protection, and experience year-round insulating benefits.
- No special maintenance is required for window film.
- Window film was named the most cost-effective energy-saving choice when used in retrofit commercial building projects.
- Advancements in window film have led to film options that aren’t overly dark and don’t produce an iridescent shine.
- A study of the top five energy retrofits based on ROI identified window film as one option that offers a quick return on investment.
Glare is virtually eliminated as are hot spots and the cluttered appearance your windows may present from the street view.
Energy costs savings through the summer months as well as Low E films throughout the winter months save energy costs and provide a faster ROI

Tampa Goes Crazy For Window Tinting 13 Oct 3:25 AM (9 days ago)
We know how crazy it is “out there.”
A client came in the other day asking me if we had a tint that would give her complete privacy in her car.
She whispered that unknown people were following her wherever she went.
Carefully looking over her shoulder to ensure no one was listening, she explained that she dresses down in public (clearly she attained her goal!) simply to hide from the unknown stalkers.
Now after years of dealing directly with Joe Public rather than corporate types; I have to agree with many of my associates in this business that some customers are nuts!
The following did not happen to me but rather to another window film company; but it’s a wonderful story.
My friend did an estimate at a clients’ home meeting with an older gentleman.
Later that week his installation crew showed up at the home and proceeded to tint all the windows in the home.
The homeowner watched intently pointing out any areas of concern throughout the process.
At about the moment the crew finished the homeowners wife came home.
They explained that they had just completed the job.
“We don’t need window film.
Why would you come to my house to do this??” she screamed.
They looked around and pointed to her husband who was now quietly sitting on the couch looking out the rear windows facing the backyard.
“Go ask your husband” the lead installer responded, he’s the person that signed the order.
He let us in and he watched us the last four plus hours. Plus he signed the work order”. . . furiously pointing at the bottom of the paperwork.
The wife explained that her husband was demented.
He’s mentally incompetent so he could not make a decision.”
She chased the installers out of the house while her husband continued to sit silently rocking back and forth just staring out the window.
Literally crazy for window tinting.
