Your blinds play an essential role in controlling privacy and light. During summer, we enjoy sunlight entering our homes. However, we don’t want too much radiant heat warming up our interiors, nor do we want the sun glaring onto our electronic screens. Harmful UV rays can also damage and fade your furniture. Sun filter blinds can mitigate these issues while providing style and functionality.
Maximum Light Control
Sun filter blinds — also called sunscreen blinds and roller sun blinds — are made of a tightly woven material with no holes. This material allows them to provide a soft filtered light effect, improving the ambiance of your room and control over natural light. Sunscreen blinds are excellent for privacy because you can’t see into the room from the outside, but you can see the outside from inside. This allows you to reduce sun glare without losing your view.
Why is Filtering Sunlight Important?
Unlike the light and heat that emanates from the sun, we cannot detect UV rays with our senses. This means we don’t notice any of the ill effects until they have already occurred. UV exposure damages wood, fabric and leather, drastically reducing the lifespan of furniture. Sunscreen blinds can block up to 95% of the sun's rays, mitigating its harmful effects.
Keep a Cooler, More Energy Efficient Home
The glass on your windows warm as they are hit by the sun. Sun filter blinds will continually block and reflect this thermal energy before it has a chance to enter the room. By filtering sunlight and its heat, your sunscreen blinds keep the room cooler in summer, leaving your indoor environment comfortable. These blinds also improve the energy efficiency of your home so your air conditioner doesn’t work as hard to maintain an ideal temperature.
