Solar Gard Armorcoat 10-mil Clear

About Armorcoat 10-mil Clear

Armorcoat 10-mil Clear pairs Solar Gard Armorcoat's 10 mil safety construction with a clear finish with 86% VLT for high-security work without visible tint. The single-pane data lists 86% VLT, up to 22% heat rejection, and over 99% UV blocking, so this SKU is best understood as glass-retention film with a specific appearance rather than a generic tint. Ten mil construction is for projects that need substantially more forced-entry delay than standard 8 mil film can provide.

It fits financial institutions, court-adjacent offices, municipal buildings, and high-value retail locations in Philadelphia where the glass must remain transparent. The local Philadelphia use case is practical: exposed glass can break during impact, vandalism, attempted entry, or severe weather, and owners often need a retrofit that improves retention without replacing the whole glazing system.

Technically, the thicker film helps retain fragments and delays forced entry when the glazing system, frame, and attachment method are specified as a system. Armorcoat safety film helps retain glass fragments and delays forced entry when it is matched to the glass type, frame condition, and any required wet-glaze or attachment system. It should never be presented as absolute protection. For most projects, the film thickness decision should follow the risk level, opening size, and whether the location is interior or street-facing.

Choose it over 8 mil Clear when the risk assessment calls for a high-security layer; choose 11 or 14 mil only when the project needs still greater retention or blast criteria. The result is a more specific specification: Armorcoat 10-mil Clear is selected for its thickness, finish, daylight level, and risk profile together.
