Solar Gard Modern Dot Gradient 1

About Modern Dot Gradient 1

Modern Dot Gradient 1 places a frosted dot field at the top of the pane and fades toward clear glass below. It is part of Solar Gard's byDesign decorative line from Saint-Gobain, so the main decision is how the glass should look, how much privacy it should create, and how daylight should behave in the room.

In Philadelphia, It is useful on Philadelphia conference rooms, office fronts, and shared workspaces where eye-level privacy matters but full-height frost would feel heavy. These applications usually need glass to keep working as part of the architecture while adding a clearer visual purpose. The film can support a privacy band, full-panel treatment, or coordinated suite of interior glass, depending on how much view control the space needs.

Practical expectations matter. VLT varies by zone, with the frosted area around 70% and the gradient transition around 53%, so the privacy effect changes across the glass. The published data lists varies by gradient coverage VLT, over 99% UV blocking, and 2-5 mil decorative gradient construction, which helps set expectations before a full interior glass package is specified. Lighting should be reviewed from both sides of the pane, because frosts, opaques, prints, and gradients can read differently from a bright corridor than they do from a dim room.

Choose Dot Gradient 1 when the top portion needs screening and the lower pane should stay open; choose Dot Gradient 2 for a framed top-and-bottom border effect. That comparison is the key to choosing well within byDesign: the best product is the one whose opacity, texture, substrate, and daylight level match the actual room rather than simply adding decoration. For multi-room projects, this also keeps reception glass, private offices, and feature panels consistent.
