The Purpose of Solar Screens

Solar screens are an increasingly popular addition to homes, offering a variety of benefits that can enhance both comfort and energy efficiency. At Coastal Shutters, we understand the importance of creating a comfortable living environment while also reducing energy costs. That's why we offer high-quality solar screens designed to block out heat and glare from the sun while still allowing natural light to filter through.

What Are Solar Screens?

Solar screens are specially designed window coverings made from a dense mesh material. They are installed on the exterior of windows and doors to block sunlight and heat from entering the home while still allowing for visibility and airflow. Solar screens come in various colors and densities, allowing homeowners to choose the level of sun protection and privacy they desire.

The Purpose of Solar Screens

• Reduce Solar Heat Gain – One of the primary purposes of solar screens is to reduce solar heat gain in the home, especially during the hot summer months. By blocking a significant portion of the sun's rays before they penetrate the glass, solar screens help keep indoor spaces cooler and more comfortable.

• Protect Against UV Rays – Solar screens also protect against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. These rays can cause furniture, flooring, and other interior surfaces to fade and deteriorate over time. By blocking UV rays, solar screens help preserve the integrity of your home's interior and prolong the life of your belongings.

• Maintain Visibility and Natural Light – Unlike traditional window coverings like blinds or curtains, solar screens allow for visibility and natural light to enter the home. This means you can enjoy the view outside while still benefiting from reduced heat and glare.

• Improve Energy Efficiency – By reducing the amount of heat that enters your home, solar screens can help lower your energy bills by reducing the need for air conditioning. This makes them an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for homeowners looking to improve energy efficiency.
