THE BENEFITS OF SOLAR SHADES
Sun shades have you covered with many benefits.
1. Light Control
Solar shades are an ideal window covering for rooms where you want to reduce light, heat and harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, but still enjoy the view to the outside. Our solar blinds provide you with many benefits, and are available in a wide selection of colours and openness options.
2. Block Harmful UV Rays
Sun shades block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, which is healthy for the whole family while also preventing fading and damage from direct sunlight to your furniture, carpets, and flooring.
3. Increase Energy Efficiency and Lower Energy Costs
Solar shades improve energy efficiency in your home by providing extra insulation for your windows. This helps keep your home cooler in the summer, while also saving you on energy costs.
4. Eliminate Glare
Sun shades are ideal for home theatre rooms and offices, as these window coverings eliminate glare on televisions, computer screens, tablets and phones.
5. Enjoy Your View of the Outside
Depending on the openness percentage you choose for your solar shades, you can preserve your view to the outside while still reducing glare, blocking UV rays, and lowering your energy costs.
What is Openness?
The openness percentage refers to how tight the weave is on the solar shade. The higher the percentage, the more light will filter through into the room and the greater the view to the outside (but the less it will block UV rays). The lower the percentage, the less light will filter through into the room and the less of a view to the outside (but the more the shade will block UV rays). For example, solar blinds with a 10% openness will block 90% of UV rays, while solar shades with 1% openness will block 99% of UV rays. Click here to see the various openness percentage options.
