The heat and glare problem Solar Bronze 35 answers
Madico Solar Bronze 35 is for glass that lets in more sun, heat or glare than the room can use. Grey films can feel cold against wood, brick and brass interiors. Rooms with large sun-facing glass also overheat. The aim is to calm the heat without a flat, steel-coloured look.
How Solar Bronze 35 cuts heat and glare
Solar Bronze 35 transmits 35% of visible light and rejects 62% of total solar energy. Infrared rejection is 87%, SHGC is 0.38 and glare reduction is 61%. The UV figure on Madico's table is 99% or higher.
Where Solar Bronze 35 fits best
NorthGuard suggests Madico Solar Bronze 35 for jobs like these.
- Homes with warm finishes where a bronze tone suits wood, brick or brass better than grey.
- Sun-baked rooms, since infrared rejection is 87% and the SHGC is 0.38.
- Spaces that want daytime privacy, as 18% of visible light reflects off the outer face.
- Offices and condos with screen glare, where 61% glare reduction helps.
What Solar Bronze 35 will not do
Madico Solar Bronze 35 has limits that NorthGuard states before any quote.
- The bronze tint shifts how colours look inside, so the film samples NorthGuard shows at the on-site check are worth seeing first.
- The film absorbs 52% of solar energy, so glass type should be checked before install.
- An 18% outside reflection gives a slightly mirrored look in daylight.
