SUN BLOCK SCREENS for WINDOWS & SKYLIGHTS
BENEFITS
Sun block or solar screens have a huge benefit that is already well know in the southern states and is only recently getting recognition in the north. They can be mounted two ways to the inside or to the outside. The simple principle is to stop the sun from heating up the glass in the windows and skylights to keep the inside of the house cooler. In many cases 12 to15 degrees cooler. They have an additional benefit if mounted on the outside besides blocking extreme sunlight they also protect windows against seal failure if installed properly. Oh and of course they still block out bugs. There are several levels of sun block: 75%, 80% and 90%. The more sun you block the cooler a room stays.
