Glass Fragment Retention
The 7 mil construction helps retain broken glass fragments after impact while keeping SCL SR PS7 matched to the project's appearance goals.
SCL SR PS7 sits between entry-level and heavy-duty clear safety films. Its 7 mil construction provides more retention support than PS4 while maintaining the clear, high-VLT appearance owners expect from the SCL series. The point is to change the failure behavior of the pane while leaving the original clear-glass appearance nearly intact.
It fits Philadelphia schools, storefront doors, community centers, apartment entries, and offices where breakage could create injury or security concerns but a tinted film would conflict with the design. It is also useful on interior glass that must stay visually open. On Philadelphia projects, SCL SR PS7 should be evaluated by elevation, room use, and how much glass faces sidewalks, transit, neighboring rowhomes, or open sky.
The film helps retain broken glass fragments and can delay forced entry when specified as part of a complete glass system. At roughly 90%+ VLT, it changes safety performance far more than appearance. In practice, 90%+ VLT and 7 mil tells the project team how assertive the architectural result will feel once installed, not just how it looks on a sample card.
Choose SCL SR PS7 when PS4 feels too light but PS8 or PS13 may exceed the project need. It is a balanced clear safety option for many occupied Philadelphia properties. Window Film Philadelphia can compare it against adjacent LLumar options from Eastman Performance Films so the final selection matches the building, not just the product category. Samples should be judged in the actual room whenever daylight, privacy, historic appearance, visibility, or color is close.

Can delay forced entry when paired with suitable glass and attachment details; it is a retrofit layer, not absolute protection.
Adds safety performance with roughly 90%+ VLT, so Philadelphia interiors keep their clear-glass daylight while gaining UV reduction.
