The sun has been worshiped by both ancient and modern peoples throughout the ages. Those of ancient cultures honored the sun with sacrifices and those of the modern age have devoted hours upon hours to sunbathing, gaining a bronzy glow and a healthy dose of vitamin D. In recent history, the sun’s power has been harnessed to provide an environmentally conscious energy source. No matter if you are a fair-skinned person who must lather on a thick layer of sunscreen or someone who employs the benefits of solar power, no one can deny the sun’s power.

The sun is one of the the most essential resources for life on this planet and we are forever indebted to this powerful star. However, with great power comes the need for relief. Often, because nearly everyone has experienced the searing pain of a sunburn or the discomfort of a forgotten pair of sunglasses, when we consider sun damage, we immediately think of the damage that UV rays cause and all those products dedicated to not only sunburn relief, but also reversing premature aging caused by sun damage. However, the sun doesn’t just inflict pain and damage on our bodies, but it can also damage our homes and put a substantial dent in our pocketbooks.

Solar screen is wonderful PVC-coated screen product created to give relief and protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays and insects, while still allowing some natural light to enter your home, patio area, business, or building. Solar screen comes in a variety of formats, colors, and protection levels to fit your needs. Because we at Metro Screenworks believe in offering our clients custom screen systems and solutions, we offer solar shades for windows, exterior solar screens, and solar screen rolls.

Solar screen, no matter what format you install in your home, business, or building will provide general protection and benefits. Though it may seem like an initial investment, the benefits that solar screen provides will pay you back sooner than later.

 

Protect Your Interiors

Solar screen shades protect the interior of your home. Though the sun is a source of life, constant exposure to the sun can significantly damage your furniture, flooring, and decor. According to an article published by Geico, the sun is responsible for nearly 40 percent of our interiors fading. Light isn’t the only thing entering our homes. UV rays and infrared energy make up half of what is entering our homes. Repeated exposure to UV rays and infrared energy causes the materials that make up the items of our homes to become unstable and prematurally age. Protect that antique bureau, pictures of your family, your favorite expensive couch and more when you install solar screens.    

Reduce Glare

We have all been there—unless you have a windowless entertainment room—when you are trying to watch TV and the sun’s glare is making seeing what is on the screen difficult if not impossible to see. If you have a moment to watch TV it is probably a well-deserved rest to enjoy your favorite movie or TV show after a long week, or maybe it’s time that you have set aside to spend with your family. Regardless, of your reason for taking time for entertainment, you shouldn’t have to contend with the sun. Also, direct sunlight can damage your fancy big screen LCD TV; consistent direct sunlight will cause the chemicals that create the images on your screen to deteriorate and prematurally need repair or replacement.

Provide Energy Efficiency

Thirdly, solar screens are a relatively affordable way to reduce the amount of money that you spend on your energy bills, assist your HVAC system in keeping the temperature in your home or business uniform, and providing even greater comfort. If you are looking to make your home more energy efficient, installing solar screen is an affordable start that can make a significant impact even before you invest in energy efficient appliances. Though the actual dollar amount that you will save a month is dependent on your particular home, the sun exposure on your property, and other factors, the financial implications of solar screens can not be denied.  

Protect Your Family & Clients

Lastly, installing solar screens can protect your family and clients and generally add to their quality of life. Not only will those in your home or business not be exposed to as much harmful UV rays and infrared heat, they will not have to contend with sun glare that can damage eyes and significantly decrease your vision. Though the dog or cat might not have a sun spot to lay in that is quite as enjoyable as the one that occured before the installation of solar screens or solar screens for your windows, your family, clients, and patrons will thank you for the overall comfort and protection that a simple roll up solar shade or other solar screen product provides.
