Residential Window Tinting
•THE GOLD STANDARD FOR COLORADO SUN PROTECTION
Heat Shield window films utilize Nano-Ceramic technology, which is considered the biggest technological advance in window film since the inception of traditional dye-based products back in the 1960’s. Nano-Ceramic films are state of the art products that perform at a level unprecedented in the window film industry. Unlike older film products, these films are not dark, shiny or reflective. The spectrally selective coatings on Nano-Ceramic films filter out 65%–99.9% of the infrared heat normally transmitted through insulated double pane glass, while still allowing the full amount of visible light to be transmitted. They are especially useful in applications where homeowners and property managers wish to keep the architectural integrity and beauty of their properties in place while still enjoying the benefits of an energy control window film.
• NON METAL TECHNOLOGY SAFE FOR TODAY’S WIRELESS LIFESTYLE
Because of its unique nano-ceramic technology, Heat Shield is compatible and will not interfere with today’s cell phones, satellite radio’s, satellite TV and won’t compromise signal strength like traditional metal films.
•HOW THE SMALLEST THING CAN MAKE THE LARGEST DIFFERENCE
Heat Shield is manufactured using nano-ceramic technology, one of the world's most advanced technologies in material sciences, which utilize smaller than microscopic particles as building blocks. This makes it possible to create extremely capable high performance films to the most exact and demanding specifications. Each nano-ceramic particle in Heat Shield is only 10nm* in length. Its diameter is two to three hundredth smaller than the wavelengths of visible light, making the film virtually colorless and extremely transparent. The ultra fine particles give the film the incredible dexterity of rejecting and transmitting only selected rays in the electromagnetic spectrum. Thus Heat Shield offers an unprecedented level of total solar heat rejection without compromising on clarity and visibility. While conventional films block out large portions of the visible light we all want in our homes and office. Our spectrally tuned Heat Shield forms a CLEAR barrier that blocks out 99% of the ultra violet radiation and 99% Infrared heat the # 1 cause of skin cancer and premature fading. (Extremely critical for Colorado’s residential and commercial solar exposed glazing systems.) It is this revolutionary technology that sets Heat Shield apart as the gold standard for the ultimate in Colorado sun protection.
•HOW DOES HEAT SHIELD PROTECT YOU?
Besides total solar heat rejection, Heat Shield’s unique nano-ceramic technology offers you superior all round features when compared to conventional metal or dye based window films.
• OPTIMUM IR HEAT SHIELDING
Heat Shield has up to a 77% visible light transmittance and cuts out more than 99% of the IR Heat... This helps keep the temperature in your home and office more comfortable. The reduction in UV radiation and IR Heat creates balanced cooling eliminating hot and colds spots without needing to overuse your air-conditioner. The Heat Shielding effect’s of Heat Shield will help with year round energy savings.
• ULTRA HIGH CLARITY
Heat Shield cuts out the heat and let’s in the light. Up to 77% of essential visible light is let through and the product is less reflective than glass itself enhancing your view both day and night.
• EFFECTIVE ULTRA VIOLET RADIATION REJECTION
Heat Shield rejects as much as 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays and protects you as well as extending the lifespan of interior furnishings.
•DURABILITY
Heat Shield is extremely durable when compared to traditional films and can withstand intense solar heat without bubbling, cracking, hazing, delaminating or distorting. Unlike dye based films which deteriorate and fade purple over time, Heat Shield maintains its first-class color and performance throughout the life of the product.
•SHATTER RESISTANT
The film's high tensile strength and resilient adhesive helps prevent the glass from flying when shattered or subjected to a major impact.

Solar Heat Gain, or what we know as natural sunlight, consists of three elements: 53% Infra Red (IR) radiation, 44% Visible Light (VL) and 3% Ultra Violet (UV) radiation.
UV radiation is highly damaging. It is widely acknowledged that the sun's UV radiation can cause skin cancer and cataracts through prolonged exposure. Similarly, this radiation is the primary cause of fading to home and office interior fabrics and colored components.
Visible light, on the other hand, is absolutely essential. It is the visible light that allows us to see. To effectively protect you from the sun, window films need to reject UV radiation and Infrared radiation, while allowing for as much visible light transmission as possible. This intelligent filtering, or spectrally tuning is made possible by Heat Shield’s nano-ceramic technology and is known world wide as spectrally selective window film. We are the only company in Colorado that can block it all…
BTU Meter
a device that measures solar energy intensity and gives solar intensity in either W/m² or BTU/ft².hour. It is used to compare the solar intensity entering through glazing with and without solar control window film.
BTU-British Thermal Unit
The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. 1 BTU = 252 Calories (Cal).
Infra-Red Radiation
Wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation from 780 nm to about 60 000 nm; near infra-red is about 780-2500 nm and far infra-red is about 2500-60 000 nm. Solar radiation contains a large amount of infra red radiation between 780 nm to 2500 nm. This type of radiation is not radioactive.
Luminous Efficacy
A measure of how effective a glazing product is in rejecting solar energy but retaining good visible light transmission. A number greater than 1.0 indicates the film or glazing unit is "Spectrally Selective," blocking more of the near infrared than the visible light components of the solar spectrum.

The choice of architects, builders, and designers world-wide.
The highest compliment that can be paid to any building material is for an architect to use the product on his own home or most important projects. But when it comes to Madico’s award-winning window films, the honor is bestowed again and again.
Graham Gund – who is not only one of the world’s most celebrated architects, but also the director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston – has SunScape Select installed on the windows of his private residences. Juan Carlos Arcila-Duque, the hottest designer in South Beach, Miami, was so enchanted by a Madico decorative film he incorporated into a project that he applied the film to his personal loft’s interior glass. Impressionist architect Frank Gehry, best known for his asymmetrically shaped steel designs, has relied on Madico’s solar control and decorative films in several of his most recognized works.
But Madico’s films are not only used by the most famous people in the architectural industry … they are also used to protect and beautify the most famous buildings. The iconic glass pyramid that serves as the entry at the Louvre in Paris is coated with our solar control film to protect visitors from the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays. The same goes for the atrium at Spain’s Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.
So whether for the magnificent residence of a renowned architect; a world-class building such as the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia; or your own private home, Madico offers a window film product designed to preserve what’s truly important: the environments in which we live and work.
A residential home is one of the most important purchases that you can make in your lifetime. Therefore, it’s essential for you to make sure your home gets the proper attention to ensure a comfortable and safe living environment for you and your family. An application of window film can make your living experience even more enjoyable through these added benefits:
- Reduction of Interior Fading - many people are still unaware the sun’s damaging UV rays can ruin the interior of a home including wood floors, couches, curtains, furniture and even artwork. Over time, these effects will cause a discoloration of many valuable articles. Fortunately, window film blocks up to 99% of these harmful UV rays to help protect your interior furnishings as well as your skin.
- Decrease Heat - nobody wants to be uncomfortable in his or her own home and the sun’s solar properties can cause any room to become overheated. Most people just turn up the air conditioning to combat the problem, but now you can use window film to control heat gain inside your home. This will not only help to reduce your energy costs but it will allow for a more comfortable living environment.
- Increase Privacy - windows are a great instrument for letting us view the outside world. At the same time, they do not provide a lot of privacy. Many residential window films consist of various color shades to provide added privacy to your home while still allowing excellent external vision.
DaylightNatural is one of the most popular flat glass films on the market today. Designed for both residential and commercial applications, DaylightNatural has a very soft, neutral grey color that blends in well with any interior décor and is designed not to disturb the natural views outside the window.
DaylightNatural is available in five different shades. DN60, DN50 and DN35 lines were developed with the homeowner in mind. These films deliver low interior reflectivity, allowing for a more undisturbed outside view, and are designed to protect interior furnishings from fading by providing strong heat and UV Ray rejection. All three shades are dual pane safe and can be easily installed on today's popular low energy coated glass.
DN25, DN20 and DN15 are darker shades and are very appealing to building owners and property managers. These darker, neutral grey colors blend in well with the natural look of today's modern glass and perform exceptionally in reducing extreme glare and excessive heat.
Whether it's improving comfort inside your home or balancing hot spots in a commercial building, DaylightNatural films will help lower overall energy costs and improve HVAC efficiency. Additionally, these films are guaranteed not to fade or change color and are protected by Johnson's CST scratch-resistant hard coat.
DaylightNatural Product Benefits:
- Sputtered metal construction – neutral color shades that will not fade • Low reflectivity – provides a natural exterior view
- High heat rejection – helps to lower energy costs and provides a more comfortable household/office experience
- Blocks 99% of harmful UV rays – reduces interior fading (furniture, wood floors, rugs and paintings) and helps minimize health risks
- CST scratch-resistant hard coat – long lasting durability
- Lifetime Residential / 10 Year Commercial guarantee – manufacturer's warranty against cracking, peeling, bubbling or delamination
