The broken-glass risk Clear 14mil is built for
Madico Clear 14mil is for glass where a broken pane would be a hazard or an easy way in. Glass at doors, counters and street frontage gets hit harder and more often than a window upstairs. A thin film may not match the job when pieces of a broken pane would land near people.
How Clear 14mil is built and what it does
Clear 14mil is a multi-ply laminate about 0.014 inch thick, with a 0.0135 inch structural component. Its listed break strength is 325 pounds per inch of width, with 87% of visible light passing and 99% or more of UV blocked. Madico describes the clear range as holding shattered glass together.
Where Clear 14mil fits best
NorthGuard suggests Madico Clear 14mil for jobs like these.
- Main entrance doors and side panels with heavy foot traffic.
- Jewellery or electronics counters and display glass at risk of smash attempts.
- Ground-floor frontage on busy streets where a broken pane would leave shards near people.
- Jobs where the owner wants the heaviest clear film Madico lists.
What Clear 14mil will not do
Madico Clear 14mil has limits that NorthGuard states before any quote.
- A thick film is still film: it holds glass together and can slow entry, but the pane still breaks.
- Heat control is small, with 20% total solar energy rejected and 3% glare reduction.
- Madico lists break strength only, with no puncture or tear numbers for this film.
