How do Solar Shades Work?
Solar shades are made up of fabric with unique optical properties that are awesome at blocking light. The higher the ability for these shades to block light, the better they are at blocking heat and lowering your energy bills.
The tighter the weave of the fabric, the less light these shades will allow in. Shades like Hunter Douglas Screen Sun Shades offer high quality fabric options to reduce glare, light, sun, and provide UV protection.
How do Solar Shades Work?
Solar Shades are sold based on the number of UV Rays they allow into your home. When you see "5% Openness" solar shades, that means the shade is blocking out 95% of UV Rays, while allowing 5% percent of UV rays in your home.
Solar window shades (also called sun-shades or screen shades) are roller shades crafted with a specially designed fabric that's woven just tight enough to protect against UV rays while still optimizing your views. Solar shades have an open weave fabric that allows light and air to pass through. During the day you can see out but passers-bys can't see in. However, at night the effect is reversed. If privacy is not a concern for you because you live in a remote area, solar shades might be a good fit for you.
Available at the following openness: 1% 3% 5% 10% 14% and light filtering.
Where Should i Install Them?
Screen shades don't provide the best privacy, so it's best to use them for windows where you don't mind people seeing inside. A light on in a room will give outsiders a view inside. We recommend Solar Shades for rooms like kitchens and living rooms where you can take advantage of its energy-saving qualities and enjoy a great view outside.
