Duralite 30 reflects 10% of visible light on the room side, a figure every Madico source agrees on.

The heat and glare problem Sunscape Duralite 30 answers
Madico Sunscape Duralite 30 is for glass that lets in more sun, heat or glare than the room can use. Family rooms and dens used both day and evening face two problems: afternoon sun on the glass and, after dark, a window that mirrors the lit room. Many darker films make the second problem worse. A film with low room-side reflectance helps with both.
How Sunscape Duralite 30 cuts heat and glare
Sunscape Duralite 30 reflects 10% of visible light on the room side and rejects 73% of infrared, two figures that Madico's product page and performance sheet share. UV rejection is 99% or more. Madico's sources disagree on its visible light, glare and solar energy figures, so this page leaves those out.
Where Sunscape Duralite 30 fits best
NorthGuard suggests Madico Sunscape Duralite 30 for jobs like these.
- Family rooms and dens used day and evening, where 10% interior reflectance matters.
- Glass that brings in infrared heat, given 73% infrared rejection.
- Houses where a soft earth tone suits the exterior better than grey.
- Rooms that want a middle Duralite shade between Duralite 40 and Duralite 20.
What Sunscape Duralite 30 will not do
Madico Sunscape Duralite 30 has limits that NorthGuard states before any quote.
- Madico's sources disagree on Duralite 30's visible light, glare and total solar energy figures, so this page states none of them.
- Duralite 30 is darker than Duralite 40, so rooms lose more daylight.
- Duralite 30 is a solar film, not a safety film, so glass where breakage is the worry needs a thicker safety grade.

Sunscape Duralite 30 questions and answers
NorthGuard answers these questions about Madico Sunscape Duralite 30 with Madico's published data.
Why are some Sunscape Duralite 30 figures missing from this page?
Sunscape Duralite 30 has different visible light, glare and solar energy figures on Madico's product page than in Madico's performance sheet and spec sheet, so NorthGuard prints only the shared values: 10% interior reflectance, 73% infrared rejection and UV rejection of 99% or more.
Does Duralite 30 reduce reflections at night?
Duralite 30 reflects 10% of visible light on the room side, a low figure, so a lit room shows less reflection than with films that reflect more indoors. Madico's product page says Duralite minimizes interior and exterior reflectance.
What is Duralite 30 made of?
Duralite 30 is a multi-ply laminate 0.002 inch (0.050 mm) thick with a detackified acrylic adhesive. Madico's spec sheet gives the colour as a soft earth tone shade.
How does Duralite 30 sit in the Duralite range?
