The heat and glare problem Exterior Solar Bronze 35 3mil answers
Madico Exterior Solar Bronze 35 3mil is for glass that lets in more sun, heat or glare than the room can use. Interior bronze film cannot go on every window. Laminated and triple pane units are the cases Madico flags for exterior application. A hot facade with a mix of glass also needs one uniform, warm look from outside.
How Exterior Solar Bronze 35 3mil cuts heat and glare
Exterior Solar Bronze 35 rejects 65% of total solar energy and 88% of infrared. Visible light transmitted is 34% and glare reduction is 62%. It reflects 37% of solar energy outward and absorbs 41%, with an SHGC of 0.35.
Where Exterior Solar Bronze 35 3mil fits best
NorthGuard suggests Madico Exterior Solar Bronze 35 3mil for jobs like these.
- Laminated glass where Madico lists an exterior film as the route.
- Triple pane units that cannot take film on the room side.
- Facades that want a uniform bronze tinted appearance from the street.
- Sun-heavy glass that needs 62% glare reduction.
What Exterior Solar Bronze 35 3mil will not do
Madico Exterior Solar Bronze 35 3mil has limits that NorthGuard states before any quote.
- The film is on the outer face, so weather and outdoor cleaning apply to it.
- Visible light reflected is 24% outside, which gives a mirrored bronze look in daylight.
- A 34% visible light transmission darkens the room, and 41% absorbed energy means glass type should be checked.
