Vista V 38 SR PS8 - Safety - Dual Reflective

About V 38 SR PS8 - Safety - Dual Reflective

V 38 SR PS8 combines dual reflective solar performance with an 8 mil safety construction. That makes it distinct from standard V 38 SR CDF: it manages heat, glare, and daytime privacy while also helping retain glass fragments after impact. It is a two-in-one specification for projects that need solar control and a stronger glass-retention layer.

In Philadelphia, V 38 PS8 fits ground-floor retail, lobby glass, public-facing offices, healthcare entries, and school or campus windows where visibility, comfort, and risk reduction all matter. It is especially useful when the client wants daytime privacy but cannot ignore breakage behavior on glass close to sidewalks, entrances, or transit-adjacent foot traffic. Frames, attachment methods, existing glass strength, and the size of each lite still shape the final recommendation, especially on doors and large storefront panes. It also keeps the visual character close to the standard V 38 dual reflective product, which helps when privacy and safety goals share the same elevation.

The specs include 38% VLT, up to 61% heat rejection, over 99% UV block, and 8 mil thickness. The dual reflective finish gives a moderate exterior presence and lower interior reflectance for better night views. The safety layer helps retain glass fragments and can delay forced entry through broken glass as one part of a broader glass, frame, and attachment strategy.

Choose V 38 PS8 when the project needs the balanced privacy level of V 38 plus fragment retention. V 28 PS8 is darker and more privacy-forward for higher-risk or brighter exposures. Standard V 38 SR CDF is appropriate when safety construction is not part of the scope. V 38 PS8 is the moderate safety-plus-solar option.
