Solar Screens
|
Solar Screens are the perfect solution for those windows or doors where
you would like to reduce the amount of light entering the room. Solar
Screens effectively block 90 to 95% solar heat and 85 to 90% UV radiation.
Tests show a 25 to 40% reduction in air conditioning costs. You get
the glare reduction, the heat reduction, and the savings on air conditioning,
without losing your view. When the sun is no longer a problem, you can
retract the Solar Screen completely for an unobstructed view or for
normal use of the door. |

| Screen: The screen is made
of PVC-coated fiberglass material which is rot proof, mildew proof and
fire proof and is available in a variety of colors. The screen allows
a clear view looking from the inside but blocks the view of anyone trying
to look from the outside in. Hardware: All parts are made of corrosion resistant materials for long life and trouble free operation. The frames are epoxy powder coated aluminum and are available in white or dark brown. Operation: The screen runs in a track on each side of the window or door. When not in use the screen rolls up in a 4" square box. The screen is operated by an inside pull strap or can be motorized. Cleaning: The Solar Screen unit is relatively maintenance free. The screen can be cleaned with a mild detergent and water. |

| THE ADVANTAGE OF EXTERNAL SHADING
DEVICES: Since the Solar Screen is installed on the outside of the window, it is much more effective than low E glass or any type of inside window shading device. With low E or tinted glass, the rays of the sun still come in direct contact with the glass. Tinted glass absorbs part of the energy from the sun and reduces the amount of light and heat entering the room. Since the glass absorbs some of the energy, the glass will be heated and will radiate a portion of that heat into the room. In the case of interior devices, (drapes, shades, interior shutters, blinds, etc.) the solar energy is still entering the room, heating the shading device, and then radiating a portion of that heat into the interior of the house. When an exterior shading device is used, it blocks most of the heat energy before it enters the room |
and any radiation is kept on the outside and does not enter the room. By keeping the rays of the sun from entering the room, the solar screen will protect your furniture, drapes and carpeting from the harmful rays of the sun. Independent laboratory tests have shown that solar screens effectively block 90-95% of the solar heat rays. These tests also show that solar screens can reduce your air conditioning costs by 25-40%. No interior shading device can provide the efficiency that you get from external solar screens. The Solar Screen gives you all this efficiency and still allows a clear view through your window. It can also be retracted so that it is completely out of view when that is the effect you wish to have.
