Question 1

What is OptiVision by Madico?

Accepted Answer

OptiVision is a premium dual-reflective solar control window film made by Madico for residential and commercial buildings. It reduces interior glass reflectivity for clearer nighttime views while rejecting heat, glare, and 99% of UV rays. It's a glass-applied film, not a replacement window, so it upgrades your existing windows without the cost of new glass.

Question 2

Is TintGTA an authorized OptiVision installer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TintGTA is an authorized installer of OptiVision by Madico for homes and commercial buildings across the Greater Toronto Area. As an authorized dealer, our installations are eligible for Madico's manufacturer warranty coverage in North America.

Question 3

Is this the same as car window tint?

Accepted Answer

No. While both are window films, architectural film like OptiVision is engineered specifically for flat glass in homes and buildings. It accounts for thermal stress, larger panes, dual-pane sealed units, and different glass types. We install OptiVision on residential and commercial glass, separately from our automotive tinting service.

Question 4

What buildings can OptiVision be installed on?

Accepted Answer

OptiVision works on most residential and commercial glass, including single-family homes, condos, sunrooms, offices, storefronts, and multi-tenant buildings. We assess your glass type during the consultation to confirm the correct film and protect any existing glass warranty.

Question 5

How much heat does OptiVision block?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the film grade, OptiVision rejects up to 60% of total solar energy (TSER) and up to 81% of infrared heat. That translates to a noticeably cooler, more comfortable interior in summer and lower cooling costs.

Question 6

Will OptiVision help lower my energy bills?

Accepted Answer

Yes. OptiVision reduces solar heat gain in summer and helps retain interior heat in winter, easing the load on your HVAC system. For homes and commercial buildings with large or sun-facing windows, this can lead to meaningful year-round energy savings.

Question 7

Does it really improve nighttime views?

Accepted Answer

Yes. OptiVision is dual-reflective with low internal reflectivity (as low as 7-8%), which dramatically reduces the mirror-like effect on the inside of your glass after dark. You get clearer views out at night compared to many standard reflective films.

Question 8

How much glare does it reduce?

Accepted Answer

OptiVision reduces glare by roughly 49% to 70% depending on the grade you choose. That means easier viewing of TVs, monitors, and devices, and far less eye strain from harsh direct sunlight.

Question 9

Does OptiVision protect against UV and fading?

Accepted Answer

OptiVision blocks more than 99% of the sun's harmful UV rays, which are a leading cause of fading in floors, furniture, artwork, and upholstery. It also helps protect your family's skin from UV exposure through your windows.

Question 10

Does it add daytime privacy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The dual-reflective construction increases daytime privacy by making it harder for people outside to see in, while still allowing you to enjoy the view out. Privacy is strongest during the day; at night, interior lighting reduces the effect.

Question 11

What is the difference between OptiVision 25, 35, and 45?

Accepted Answer

The numbers relate to how much visible light the film transmits. OptiVision 25 is the darkest with the most heat and glare control (around 27% light, 60% TSER, 70% glare reduction). OptiVision 35 is a balanced mid-grade (around 37% light, 47% TSER, 58% glare reduction). OptiVision 45 is the lightest and most natural-looking (around 45% light, 39% TSER, 49% glare reduction). We help you pick based on your priorities and glass.

Question 12

Which OptiVision grade is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Choose OptiVision 25 if maximum heat, glare, and privacy control is your priority. OptiVision 35 is the most popular all-around choice, balancing performance with a brighter interior. OptiVision 45 is ideal if you want to keep rooms light and views as natural as possible while still cutting UV and heat. We'll recommend the best fit during your free assessment.

Question 13

What colors or shades are available?

Accepted Answer

Madico solar control films come in a range of shades and hues, from reflective silver to solar bronze and designer gray, so the film can complement your building's aesthetic. We'll show you samples on your actual glass during the consultation.

Question 14

How long does installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential projects are completed in a single day, depending on the number and size of windows. Larger commercial jobs are scheduled in phases to minimize disruption. We'll give you a clear timeline with your quote.

Question 15

Will the film damage my windows or void my glass warranty?

Accepted Answer

When the correct film is matched to your glass type, OptiVision is safe for your windows. Because we're an authorized installer, we assess glass type and exposure to select a film that protects your glass and keeps you eligible for applicable warranties. Using the wrong film on the wrong glass is the main risk, which is exactly why professional, authorized installation matters.

Question 16

What warranty comes with OptiVision?

Accepted Answer

OptiVision is backed by Madico's manufacturer's warranty for North America, and our professional installation is warranted as well. Specific coverage depends on the film and application, and we'll go over the full details with you before installation.

Question 17

How do I clean and maintain the film?

Accepted Answer

Once fully cured, simply clean the film with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid ammonia-based products and abrasive tools. We provide complete care instructions after installation.

Question 18

How long does OptiVision last?

Accepted Answer

Professionally installed architectural film typically lasts many years, often well over a decade on residential glass, depending on exposure and conditions. Madico's warranty backs the film's long-term performance.

Question 19

Do you serve both homes and commercial buildings in the GTA?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install OptiVision for homeowners, property managers, and commercial clients across Scarborough, North York, Toronto, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Mississauga, and surrounding areas. Contact us for a free on-site assessment and quote.
