WINDOW TREATMENT IDEAS - Solar Screens Roller Blinds

Solar Screens and Roller Blinds are similar in function, but are different in appearance. Solar Screens are a mesh fabric that lets in anywhere from 1% to 15% of UV rays through the fabric - This is called Openness Factor. 5% Openness blocks 95% of the UV rays. Roller Blinds have an Opacity rating between 1 - 5, with 1 being the roll up blind that lights up, and 5 being your blackout roller shades - no light passes through. The sun screen fabric of a solar screen has the advantage over the roller blind in that you can still see through the shade, maintaining the outside scenery, while blocking most of the UV rays from entering the room. These sun screens also have an advantage over UV window film, which usually blurs your vision. This is a Hunter Douglas Designer Screen shade, and is a great living room idea for this large window array. Use on exterior instead of outdoor curtains.
