The U.S. Dept. of Energy says in its 1994 study, that shading the outside exposed windows or doors is the best way to stop heat build up. The Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Clearinghouse says that roughly 40% of heat build-up and heat loss is through windows and doors. External shading is the most effective home treatment to counter these effects. Shading the exposed windows and doors can reduce temperatures by as much as 20 degrees. Window shadings such as indoor window film or blinds or insulated drapes do not block, reflect, or absorb the solar rays before they pass through the glass. The results are simple, heat builds up inside your home.
Textilene® Solar screens provide excellent privacy and added security. Because of the polyester properties of Textilene® Solar screens, they block the sun while letting you maintain clear views outside your home. Textilene® Solar screens also eliminate the fading of your furniture, drapes, blinds, rugs and carpeting caused by the sun's harmful UV rays. All of this while still allowing excellent ventilation and filtering dust.
