Benefits of Sunscreens


If you are looking for a way to cut out some of the heat that comes into your home though your windows sunscreens are often the least expensive window-shading option that preserves a view through the window. Sunscreen fabric is stretched over an aluminum frame like an insect screen. But the screening is a fabric that absorbs 65% to 70% of solar heat before it enters the home. Most of that heat is released to the outdoor air and never enters the home.

Sunscreens reduce the solar heating of insulated glass units, which tend to fail on the sunny sides of many homes. Sunscreens also slow down solar damage to drapes and indoor furnishings. Many homeowners have used sunscreens to enclose porches and carports, creating a cool zone against the walls on the home’s sunny side
It's like having a shade tree in front of your window without blocking the view. Exterior shading is the most effective way to block solar heat gain.

With a SunScreen, you can reduce your electricity bills without having to do any major construction! Let us make your home more energy efficient! Call today for a free estimate!
