During the height of summer, excessive sunlight can cause your home to overheat. While window shades effectively block out all sunlight, they can obscure your view and block more light than is necessary to keep your home cool. Outdoor motorized screens offer a convenient compromise by giving you the power to control the amount of sunlight entering your home while still providing a view of the outdoors.
Solar insect screens are outdoor fixtures to block out the sunlight and heat before it even reaches your windows, thereby keeping the inside of your home much cooler.
What Are Motorized Solar Insect Screens?
These types of screens mount outside of your home on a frame. With just the mere touch of a button, you can open and close them with the heavy-duty motor. They block heat and sunlight from entering your home and give you a cooling, shady place outdoors to lounge or entertain.
When evening falls, and insects start buzzing around, the solar screens perform an additional duty of keeping them away from you and your guests for a comfortable outdoor area.
The special fabric allows you to see outside clearly but doesn’t allow others to see through the screens to give you privacy.
Benefits of Solar Insect Screens for Residential and Commercial Properties
When sunlight touches a window, the glass in the window increases the heat and intensity of the UV rays from the sun. This can make your indoor spaces very hot in the summer. In addition, The glare caused by the sun can also make it challenging to view computer screens, phones, and TVs. As a result, excessive sunlight can make indoor spaces uncomfortably warm, and decrease work efficiency by causing eye strain.
Below are some ways solar screens can benefit residential and commercial spaces:
- Decrease ambient temperature
