Natural light from your windows brightens up the home and your mood, but too much can be detrimental. Fortunately, solar screens can mitigate those disadvantages. Learn more about how these screens can benefit you below.

Why Install Solar Screens?

1. Save Money

Solar screens prevent the sun’s UV rays from entering your home by deflecting the brightness and heat of the light. These screens can help keep the temperature in the room up to 15 degrees cooler than if you didn’t have them, keeping you comfortable and saving you money on air conditioning.

2. Increase Privacy

Solar screens make it much harder for people outside to see into your house. Choosing screens with a range of openness from 3–10% will greatly reduce the visibility from outside. You can put these screens wherever you want to increase your privacy without sacrificing the view, such as on bathroom windows or a screen door.

3. Preserve Furnishings

UV light can damage the furnishings in your house. Items like curtains, rugs, couches, and pictures will eventually fade when regularly exposed to sunlight. Fixtures like hardwood floors or wooden jalousie windows can become discolored too. Avoid costly furnishing and window replacement by installing solar screens.

4. Reduce Glare

Television screens or home office computers that face windows may be hard to see when sunlight hits them. Solar screens deflect UV rays, so you can see your screens clearly no matter the time of day. The reduction of glare also helps you avoid eye strain.
