Solar shades are normally designed to protect us from the damaging ultraviolet rays of the sun that pass through our windows. Aside from that they also protect our furniture from wearing out fast as the heat of the sun can cause peeling off and fading of color after long exposure. They are also designed in such a way that we get to enjoy usual scenery from our windows while getting enough protection. But do you know that these solar shades for our windows also come in different levels depending on how we want to be protected?
The percentage of protection from the sun determines the level of visibility as well as the protection we want to have. However, both two don't go with each other. They are indirectly proportional to each other. If you want more protection from the sun then you have to give up more on visibility or privacy. The darker the solar shades are the more they are capable of blocking the harmful rays of the sun. On the other side of it, if you want visibility more over protection you can have it but the percentage of protection is reduced. The standard level of protection percentage where you can both enjoy visibility and protection is 10%.
If you are interior savvy and want the protection from these solar shades, there are manufacturers which make such shades with different patterns on it. There is a wide array of selection available for your every need. The designs can even be made according to your preference in the purpose of matching them with your home interior.
