In purchasing a typical roller shade, you must generally weigh your options between - less visibility or less heat gain. Why? Because - darker fabrics provide better see through visibility during the day - this is due to their darker color which does not create a visibility reducing glow. However, the trade-off is that darker colors absorb more heat, which is not ideal during the summer months. In a like manner, as you would imagine, lighter colored fabrics provide better heat control, but less visibility.
However, thanks to a product innovation, you can now have the best of both worlds. Fabric manufacturers have developed a SilverScreen that both preserves the view and reflects the heat. No compromise necessary. This is all due to the ultra-fine, reflective layer of aluminum backing on the solar fabric, which reflects away heat and light, allowing the interior to stay cool, glare free and maintain a great view and connection to the outdoors. Of course, as you might expect, this product costs more then the typical solar fabric - so there is still an economic choice.
In the world of ever changing roller shade technology, we thought you might want to know about the latest and greatest option for maximizing see through while decreasing heat gain.
