A soft earth tone for rooms that keep their daylight

The heat and glare problem Sunscape Duralite 40 answers

Madico Sunscape Duralite 40 is for glass that lets in more sun, heat or glare than the room can use. Grey and silver films can look cold against brick, wood and stone houses, and a bright reflective face can clash with the street. The rooms behind that glass still collect heat and glare on sunny days. A warm, low-key tone is the brief.

How Sunscape Duralite 40 cuts heat and glare

Sunscape Duralite 40 is the lightest grade in Madico's Duralite range, a 0.002 inch multi-ply laminate in a soft earth tone shade with UV rejection of 99% or more. Madico's product page and its performance and spec sheets list different light and heat figures for Duralite 40, so this page prints only the values every source agrees on.

Where Sunscape Duralite 40 fits best

NorthGuard suggests Madico Sunscape Duralite 40 for jobs like these.

• Brick, wood and stone houses where a soft earth tone suits the exterior.
• Rooms that need the lightest Duralite shade because daylight is already limited.
• Floors and furnishings near the glass, given UV rejection of 99% or more.
• Homes comparing the four Duralite grades, starting from the lightest.

What Sunscape Duralite 40 will not do

Madico Sunscape Duralite 40 has limits that NorthGuard states before any quote.

• Madico's sources disagree on Duralite 40's visible light, glare and solar energy figures, so this page states none of them.
• Film samples shown at NorthGuard's on-site check are the best guide to how dark the shade looks.
• The earth tone shifts how colours look inside compared with a neutral or grey film.
