Solar Gard PCR4 Print

About PCR4 Print

PCR4 Print is a printable clear film with 86% VLT, built as a heavier clear carrier for custom graphics. 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 suits Philadelphia lobbies, healthcare systems, campuses, and retail environments where larger panels or heavier traffic make durability part of the print decision. 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. The glass remains mostly transparent outside the printed design, but the 4 mil substrate gives the finished graphic more body than PCR2. The published data lists 86% VLT, over 99% UV blocking, and 4 mil printable clear 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 PCR4 over PCR2 for larger installations, busier interiors, or graphics that need a more substantial film; choose frosted products when no custom artwork is planned. 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.
