Madico Solar Grey 55

About Solar Grey 55

Solar Grey 55 opens up the Premium Series with 54% visible light transmission — enough to keep rooms genuinely bright while adding a layer of solar control that pays off on west-facing Fishtown rowhouses and south-facing Navy Yard office suites. Its 34% heat rejection and 45% infrared rejection make it a sensible entry point for glass that receives moderate sun exposure without demanding the darker profiles of the 35 or 20 options.

The neutral grey appearance reads consistently from street level, which matters in dense Philadelphia neighborhoods where exterior aesthetics affect property cohesion. On older single-pane rowhome glass, Solar Grey 55 adds a climate benefit without the visual punch of a darker tint, making it easier to maintain neighborhood character in areas like East Passyunk and Point Breeze where window film has become common on residential blocks.

Commercially, Solar Grey 55 suits conference room glass, hotel guest floors, and retail storefronts on Walnut Street or Chestnut Street where interior visibility matters for display and customer experience. The 99% UV block protects merchandise, finishes, and materials at the product-facing glass without darkening the shopping environment.

A 0.76 shading coefficient reflects Solar Grey 55's lighter solar touch — more than uncoated glass, less than mid-tier commercial films. Pairing it with blinds or motorized shades on peak-exposure glass gives Philadelphia property owners layered control across seasons without a permanent dark appearance.
