The material makeup of these shades is unique in that they deliver UV protection while still allowing natural light to filter through. Other benefits include reducing glare, minimizing heat buildup, and helping to protect against fading. The fibers are made up of soft woven fiberglass interwoven with other fibers for strength. This shade will help with energy savings.
SolarView Woven filters and diffuses light while reducing glare and solar heat gain, conserving energy and helping to create a more comfortable environment. SolarView Woven also helps reduce the fading of interior furnishings and flooring by protecting these surfaces from the sun’s harmful effects. And unlike many window treatments, SolarView Weave allows excellent outward visibility – even when shades are lowered – to maintain optimal views.
Openness factor refers to the tightness of the weave or mesh construction and, combined with color, de-termines the fabric’s overall performance. The more open a fabric the more heat and light will transmit to interior spaces and the more outward views are maintained. With openness factors ranging from zero to 25 percent, selecting the right combination of col-or and openness will ensure your goals for energy savings, light management and outward visibility are achieved.
Light colors, such as white, reflect solar energy away from interior spaces and transmit diffused natural light toward the interior. These colors are excellent for reducing overall solar heat gain, lowering energy costs associated with air-conditioning, and reducing the need for artificial lighting for additional energy savings. Due to high reflectivity, light colors will limit outward views.
Dark colors, such as black, absorb solar heat and light for sig-nificant glare reduction. Benefits include improved clarity of electronic devices, diminished eye strain and excellent out-ward views. While the overall impact on solar heat gain is not as significant with dark colors, this heat will be more evenly distributed into the room, improving comfort and eliminating hot spots created by direct sun light.
