Madico Solar Grey 20

About Solar Grey 20

Solar Grey 20 is the performance anchor of the Premium Series grey line — 18% visible light transmission with 65% heat rejection and 81% infrared rejection. That level of solar control makes it appropriate for the most demanding commercial exposures in Philadelphia: south-facing curtain wall systems at Navy Yard facilities, heavily glazed west-facing floors in Center City office towers, and rooftop penthouse residential suites where peak summer heat gain creates real comfort and cost problems.

With a 0.41 shading coefficient, Solar Grey 20 performs close to commercial-grade reflective films in solar heat management while maintaining the neutral grey appearance that property owners prefer when a mirrored exterior look would conflict with building aesthetics or neighborhood context. On Philadelphia mixed-use buildings in Old City and Callowhill where both commercial tenants and residential occupants share the envelope, the grey finish keeps the facade consistent across floors.

Privacy is a practical secondary benefit at 18% VLT — daytime outside-in visibility is substantially reduced, which suits street-level conference rooms, medical waiting areas, financial services offices, and retail back-of-house spaces that need functional screening without opaque film. From the inside, outward views remain clear, preserving the daylight experience for occupants.

Solar Grey 20 carries the full Madico lifetime residential warranty and 15-year commercial warranty. Window Film Philadelphia assesses glass type and existing coatings before specifying this or any high-performance film to confirm thermal compatibility with the glazing system.
