The Benefits of Solar Screens for Energy Efficiency
As that summer sun is soaring high in the sky, many Californians are wondering what they can do to keep their home comfortable without wasting a ton of energy. The answer? Solar screen shades.
Solar screen shades are an innovative window treatment designed to improve energy efficiency in your home while maintaining a stylish and modern look. These screens are made from a specialized fabric that blocks harmful UV rays, reduces glare, and minimizes heat gain, making them an excellent choice for any home. We discuss the benefits of solar screens to help you decide if they are a good choice for your home.
What Are Solar Screens?
Solar screens, also known as solar shades and screen shades, are designed to cover windows and block a significant portion of UV rays. They are made from a durable, woven fabric that allows for natural light to filter through while reducing heat and glare. This makes them an excellent choice for improving energy efficiency in homes, as they help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures without relying heavily on air conditioning.
What Are the Benefits of Solar Shades?
One of the primary benefits of solar shades is their ability to enhance energy efficiency. By blocking up to 90% of solar heat, these shades reduce the need for air conditioning, which can significantly lower energy bills. Plus, solar shades help protect your furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading by blocking harmful UV rays. They also provide daytime privacy while allowing you to enjoy the outdoor view.
What Are My Options?
Hunter Douglas carries a variety of solar and roller shades designed to deliver gorgeous styles and fight that harsh California sun when it’s at its hottest and brightest. Our favorite options include:
Designer Solar Shades
Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades combine energy efficiency with style by offering a variety of fabrics, colors, and openness levels. The openness level of the fabric you choose determines how much light is filtered through, with lower openness providing more UV protection and higher openness allowing more natural light.
Our team is happy to show you the difference in openness so you can select the best option for you. Designer Solar Shades are perfect for living rooms, kitchens, and other areas where you want to maintain a bright and airy atmosphere while reducing glare and heat.
Designer Roller Shades
These shades offer the same energy-efficient benefits of solar screens while providing a smooth, streamlined look. Designer Roller Shades come in an extensive range of fabrics, including sheer, semi-sheer, semi-opaque, and opaque, giving you complete control over light and privacy levels.
Designer Roller Shades are ideal for bedrooms, home offices, and media rooms where you might want to block more light for better privacy and glare reduction. Their minimalist design also ensures that they blend seamlessly with any decor style.
