Double Duty Defense: Comfort and Safety with Advanced Film Solutions Window Film for Florida Homes
As the calendar inches closer to hurricane season here in Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Sarasota, thoughts naturally turn to preparedness.
While securing your property with shutters and stocking up on supplies are crucial steps, have you considered an often overlooked yet highly effective layer of protection: Solar safety window film?
At Advanced Film Solutions, we understand that your home is your sanctuary. That’s why we champion the installation of premium, thicker window films from industry leaders like 3M and Eastman Chemical.
These aren’t your run-of-the-mill tinting solutions; they are engineered to deliver a powerful combination of everyday comfort and vital storm protection.
3M selections include the clear non-reflective Prestige Window Film as well as the superior strength of the 3M Ultra Scotchshield window film.
Ultra Prestige Series window films are engineered to hold broken glass in place and help prevent flying shards of glass from harming your family or damaging property. Quick entry is what most criminals count on. By helping to hold broken glass in place, our window films help deter intruders, discouraging them from entering or giving you valuable time to prepare.
*IR Rejection as measured from 900–1000nm
RESIDENTIAL WARRANTY: Selecting 3M Window Films gives you piece of mind. That’s because we have one of the most comprehensive warranties you can get; backed by a company you know and trust. 3M Window Films come with a limited lifetime warranty when professionally installed on your home.
Eastman offers their Vista dual reflective coatings and extensive portfolio of thicker LLumar Magnum Films.
Typical glass windows in a commercial building can be broken in 5 seconds or less. Glass with LLumar® Solar Safety and Security Film has an extra layer of protection that reinforces windows and helps hold dangerous glass shards together if shattered. It helps protect against multiple safety and security threats:
- Break-ins
- Extreme weather
- Explosive blasts, and
- Everyday accidents.
LLumar Solar Safety and Security Film offers solar benefits too, so it’s like two films in one. It helps make building occupants more comfortable by combining reassuring safety benefits with the power to temper the sun’s heat, reduce glare, and block more than 99% of damaging UV rays.
Beyond the Shade: Unveiling the Comfort Benefits
Let’s face it, the Florida sun can be intense. Our specialized window films offer remarkable relief from the heat, glare, and damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays that penetrate your windows daily. Imagine:
- A Cooler, More Comfortable Home: By rejecting a significant percentage of solar heat, these films can dramatically reduce interior temperatures. This translates to a more comfortable living space and lower energy bills as your air conditioning system doesn’t have to work as hard.
- Reduced Glare: Harsh sunlight streaming through your windows can make it difficult to watch TV, work on your computer, or simply relax. Window film diffuses this glare, providing a more visually comfortable environment.
- Protection from Fading: Those same UV rays that are harmful to your skin can also wreak havoc on your home’s interior. Furniture, flooring, artwork, and even window treatments can fade and deteriorate over time due to sun exposure. Our films block up to 99.9 % of these harmful UV rays, preserving the beauty and longevity of your belongings.
Peace of Mind When Storm Clouds Gather: The Safety Advantage
While the comfort benefits are significant, the safety aspect of thicker window films truly shines during hurricane season. These robust films are designed to:
- Hold Shattered Glass Together: In the event of high winds and flying debris impacting your windows, the film acts as a powerful adhesive, keeping the shattered glass fragments intact. This significantly reduces the risk of dangerous shards entering your home and causing injury.
- Provide an Extra Layer of Defense: While not a replacement for hurricane shutters in all situations, these thicker films offer a valuable extra layer of protection against impacts. They can help prevent complete window failure, minimizing wind and water intrusion that can lead to extensive damage.
- Meet Stringent Building Codes: Many of the thicker window films we offer meet or exceed local building code requirements for impact protection, providing you with added assurance and potentially even insurance benefits.
