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.

A client came in the other day asking me if we had a tint that would give her complete privacy in her car.
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.
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.
