The specific job White Out is built for
Madico White Out is a special-purpose film for glazing with one specific job to do. Bathroom windows, glass entry doors and glass cabinet fronts often show more than the people inside want. Curtains and blinds block the daylight along with the view. Some glass needs the view gone while the room stays lit.
What White Out does, in Madico's figures
White Out is rated at 9% visible light transmitted, so a little daylight still arrives as a soft white glow. Madico lists 56% visible light reflected on the outside face and 85% on the room side, with 90% glare reduction. It also works with film plotters, so logos and patterns can be cut from the white film.
Where White Out fits best
NorthGuard suggests Madico White Out for jobs like these.
- Bathroom windows where the view must be gone and daylight should stay
- Glass entry doors and entryway sidelights that face a street or hallway
- Glass cabinet doors that hide what is stored inside
- Cut-out white graphics for doors and partitions, made on a film plotter
What White Out will not do
Madico White Out has limits that NorthGuard states before any quote.
- A 9% visible light figure means no view through the glass, and a room may feel dimmer than with clear glass.
- Madico lists 56% visible light reflected on the outside face, so the glass reads as bright white from outdoors.
- Madico's page does not say which side of the glass the film goes on, so the glass and the side are confirmed before work.

Does White Out cut heat?

Can White Out be cut into custom shapes?
