WHERE WE WORK

Find Your City. We Cover Every Turtle-Ordinance Community on This Stretch of Coast.

Most of these municipalities have adopted a beachfront lighting ordinance under Fla. Stat. § 161.163 and FWC Model Ordinance Ch. 62B-55 – the exceptions are marked. If your glass is visible from the beach, film is the fastest way to comply.

HOW IT WORKS

You’re Only 3 Steps Away From Full Compliance

01

Free light reading at your property

We measure what is actually escaping through your glass after dark and pull the exact ordinance language your city enforces. Takes about 45 minutes. Costs nothing.

02

We spec the film to your ordinance

Every film we install is matched to your municipality’s light-transmittance limit for windows and sliders. You see the spec sheet before anything gets ordered.

03

Installed and documented in a day

Crews work floor by floor with no scaffolding and no glass removal. You get written compliance documentation to hand your code officer.

THE HONEST COMPARISON

You have two ways to get compliant. One of them takes a day.
