A Consumer Guide To Window Solar Screens

Solar screens are one of the type of window coverings for sale in the market today. These are a very innovative product that is designed to stop ultra-violet rays from entering your house through windows while still allowing light and the outside view to come through. These items are usually made out of a kind of woven fiberglass material. How much light and outside view is allowed through it is determined by the weave percentage. The weave percentage is mentioned in the solar screen with 14 being a moderate light weave that allows a lot of light into the room while blocking ultra violet rays and heat from entering the room.

In addition to fiberglass some window solar screens have vinyl coated polyester fibers in them with different textures. These products have an openness percentage of around 3 and are very similar to room darkening window shades. The texture styles in them are manufactured to look like natural wood fiber textures. So when selecting solar screens for windows it is very important for consumers to select the proper percentage they want. The higher the weave openness degree, the less it obstructs light and the outside view.

The lighter weave solar screens work very well for rooms that need continuous light filtering like rooms that are frequently used and get a lot of direct sunlight from an unprotected window. With them you need not raise the window covering in order to see outside. The darker solar screens which have a closer weave percentage are more suitable for rooms that need to be darkened for specific purposes such as watch a film or take a nap.

So if you need a window treatment that allows light and unobstructed outside view while protecting the interior of a house or building buying solar screens will be advisable. There are many online websites like consumer product reviews for consumers interested in purchasing these products.
