Solar Shades Block Ultraviolet Rays

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, "Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the type of radiation that you can’t see or feel. UV radiation has a shorter wavelength and higher energy than visible light. It affects human health both positively and negatively. Short exposure to UVB radiation generates vitamin D, but can also lead to sunburn depending on an individual’s skin type. Fortunately for life on Earth, our atmosphere’s stratospheric ozone layer shields us from most UV radiation. What does get through the ozone layer, however, can cause the following problems, particularly for people who spend unprotected time exposed to the sun."

The good news is that you can largely shield your home and patio from UV rays through the use of solar roller shades.  The solar roller shade material that our blinds are made from will:
  • Block up to 99% of harmful UV rays.
  • Lower risk of skin cancer and cataracts/eye damage.
  • Prevent suppression of the immune system.
  • Lessen premature aging of the skin.
  • Greatly decrease photodegredation (fading and cracking of home materials and finishes).
Besides the obvious protective nature of solar roller shades, they manage to accomplish this task without eliminating your view and connection to the outdoors and the day.  In fact, with proper choices, it is possible to enhance your view.

So, what have we learned?  Well, over the past few blog posts we have learned that solar roller shades are the only product to give you connection to the day while providing management of UV rays, infrared solar radiation, and the visible light spectrum.  Is there any surprise that home owners and businesses alike are replacing their old blinds in favor of this new generation of solar roller shades.

We would love to help you with your solar roller shade project.  Also, for a rough estimate of what your project might cost, please check our our roller shade cost calculator.
