Madico Designer Grey 45

About Designer Grey 45

Designer Grey 45 is the lighter option in the Sunscape Designer Series — 49% visible light transmission with 45% heat rejection and 99% UV protection. Where Designer Grey 35 prioritizes solar performance, Designer Grey 45 prioritizes interior brightness, making it the preferred Sunscape choice for Philadelphia spaces where natural light character is as important as solar management.

In Old City apartment conversions, Society Hill townhomes, and Rittenhouse Square residential buildings where occupants value the quality and feel of natural daylight, Designer Grey 45 manages summer heat gain and glare without the visible darkening that lower-VLT films produce. The 49% VLT keeps rooms feeling open and connected to the exterior, which matters in rowhome settings where the living areas are often narrow and depend on window light for spatial quality.

The non-metallic construction gives Designer Grey 45 the same signal advantage as the rest of the Sunscape line — Wi-Fi, cellular, and smart home device performance is unaffected by the film installation. For Philadelphia residential buildings where mesh network coverage extends from room to room through treated glass, that signal transparency avoids the connectivity disruption that metallic and sputtered alternatives introduce.

For light commercial applications — boutique office suites, hospitality spaces, and retail environments in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse and Graduate Hospital neighborhoods — Designer Grey 45 offers a welcoming, open feel with the solar management and 99% UV protection that property owners expect from a Madico architectural film. The lifetime residential and 15-year commercial warranty applies under Madico's standard Sunscape Designer Series coverage.
