Solar & Privacy Window Film in Toronto & the GTA — ImpactGuard SolarLine
ImpactGuard SolarLine
Cut the heat. Cut the bill. Keep the view to yourself.
Architectural solar and privacy film that rejects up to 81% of the sun's heat, blocks 99% of UV, and gives you daytime privacy — on the same glass you already have. A cooler, calmer, more comfortable home, professionally installed in a day. Full Madico lineup with specs below.
01See it on a home
See every look on one home.
The same house with each SolarLine film on the glass — from nearly invisible to full mirror — so you can picture it on yours before you choose.
Neutral · Spectrally Selective
Nova
Nearly invisible. Rejects the heat and UV while keeping your view and natural light.

A warm golden cast. Museum-grade UV and short-wave blocking for art, archives and displays.
Privacy
Frosted Privacy
Translucent etched-glass look. Total privacy while daylight still glows through.

02The case for solar film
Your windows are the leak — for heat and for privacy.
On a sunny afternoon, untreated glass lets roughly 80% of the sun's energy straight into the room. Your AC spends the day fighting it, and the rooms behind that glass are the hottest in the house.
Those same clear windows let anyone on the street see straight in. SolarLine film fixes both at once: it sends the heat back out and turns sun-facing glass into a one-way surface during the day — no renovation, no new windows.

Performance figures are manufacturer NFRC measurements on the relevant film over standard glass and vary by film and glass type. Comfort and energy impact depend on window orientation, shading, and climate.
03What you get
Four wins on one pane of glass.
SolarLine isn't one trade-off. You choose how much tint, mirror look, or invisibility you want; the heat, UV and comfort gains come standard on every film.
Rooms stop cooking
Rejects up to 81% of the sun's heat before it enters. West- and south-facing rooms stay even, and your AC stops fighting the windows.
Less load on the AC
Less solar heat coming through the glass means the AC cycles less and holds temperature more easily through the hottest part of summer.
Daytime privacy
Reflective and dual-reflective films give you a mirror or dark look from outside during the day, so people can't see in — while you keep your view out.
Nothing fades
Blocks 99% of UV — the rays that bleach floors, furniture, art and fabric. Protects what sits near a window without darkening the room.
04The lineup
Three numbers tell you most of the story.
Every film blocks ≥99% of UV, so fade protection is a given. What separates them is how much light they let through, how much solar heat they reject, and how much privacy or mirror look you want. Pick the balance; we confirm it fits your glass.
Heat rejected
TSER — total solar energy kept out. Higher = cooler rooms.
Light in
VLT — visible light transmitted. Higher = brighter, clearer.
Privacy / glare
Glare reduction + the film’s look, from invisible to mirror.
Invisible — glass looks completely normal.
Invisible protection
Clear Safety & Security
Optically clear, multi-ply laminate films that hold shattered glass in the frame. No tint, no change in appearance — the glass just stops behaving like glass under impact. The thicker the film, the longer the forced-entry delay.

VLT = Visible Light Transmitted · TSER = Total Solar Energy Rejected · UV = ultraviolet rejection. Figures are manufacturer (Madico) NFRC measurements on standard glass and vary by glass type and installation. Product photography © Madico. Some films require an exterior install or pre-approval on Low-E, triple-pane and laminated units — we confirm compatibility before any job.
05The install
One day. No mess. Immediate difference.
Solar film installs from the inside on most glass — no scaffolding, nothing left in the driveway. You feel the difference on the first sunny afternoon.
01
Assess
We walk every sun-facing opening with you, check your glass type for film compatibility, and hand you a written fixed quote before we leave.
02
Install
Clean, dustless install. Most homes finish in a day. The film reaches a working bond within 24 hours and you can use the rooms right away.
03
Comfortable
Hot rooms even out, glare drops, your floors stop fading, and on reflective films the daytime privacy is immediate. Full cure in three to four weeks.
Want heat control and forced-entry protection together? The Solar + Security crossover films do both — or see our residential and commercial security lines.
