Solar Gard Armorcoat 14-mil Clear

About Armorcoat 14-mil Clear

Armorcoat 14-mil Clear pairs Solar Gard Armorcoat's 14 mil safety construction with a clear 87% VLT finish paired with Solar Gard's maximum Armorcoat thickness. The single-pane data lists 87% 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. It is the top commercial option in this set, specified for blast-mitigation applications and tested to ASTM F1642 and GSA standards.

It fits government facilities, courthouses, embassies, secure institutional buildings, and other Philadelphia projects where blast review or high-risk glass retention drives the scope. 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, fourteen mil construction helps retain fragments and delays forced entry at the highest level in this Armorcoat group, but it still depends on glass type, frame condition, and attachment design. 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 this 14 mil SKU, the blast-mitigation conversation can include ASTM F1642 and GSA-tested performance documentation.

Choose it over 10 or 11 mil Clear when the project specifically needs maximum thickness or ASTM/GSA-tested blast-mitigation documentation; choose thinner clear films when the threat profile is lighter. The result is a more specific specification: Armorcoat 14-mil Clear is selected for its thickness, finish, daylight level, and risk profile together.
