Solar Screen

Windows Are Key To Energy Efficiency

Windows are the number-one source of heat gain in the summer, responsible for as much as 48% of the cooling costs. The most effective way of preventing this heat gain is by shading the sun before it heats the glass. Exterior solar screens can block up to 90% of the sun’s energy before it heats your windows, dramatically reducing the heat in your home and the load on your air conditioner. Plus, solar screens don’t block the view and they let a portion of the natural light in to illuminate your home. Interior blinds, drapes, and window film all block the sun after they have penetrated and heated the window glass, so the heat is free to radiate into the home.

Here are a few things to consider when choosing your material.

Darker colored screens may allow a clearer view through the screen This is because lighter colors catch your eye, darker colored screens tend to disappear and you see what is beyond the screen instead.
Tighter weave screens (Suntex 90) will noticeably shade your room The effect with 80% screens is minimal, you still get moderate shading protection with almost the same sunlight illumination.
Darker colored screens shade more effectively Tests have proven that darker colors are the most effective at blocking the sun. This is because less light is being reflected through the screen toward the glass.
Tighter weave screens (90%) provide the maximum privacy benefit Maximum privacy, maximum shading, maximum protection: It's quite logical, very little direct light gets through so it's nearly impossible to see in from outside during daylight.

All colors are available in 80% and 90%.
