Deciding to install a roller shade to protect your home or office from the sun may seem like a trivial choice, but it’s not—especially when you consider the features of the most advanced models available on the market.
It is important not to overlook the need to protect oneself from direct sunlight, but at the same time, one should not miss the opportunity to avoid feeling cut off from the outside world.
This relatively new type of roller shade has, as mentioned, brought significant benefits to the way we use sun-shading devices designed for the home and workplace. This new concept in blinds, in fact, is based on a micro-perforated, shielding, and filtering fabric that offers maximum protection from UV rays while also providing excellent thermal insulation and adequate moisture resistance.
Privacy is also ensured: during the day, these curtains allow you to see outside without being seen from the outside.
Screen fabrics are classified based on the percentage of open space between the threads, with options of 1%, 2%, 3%, and 5%.
The 1% screen model features particularly tightly woven threads, as only 1% of the fabric is “open space”; this characteristic makes the fabric best suited for blocking the sun’s rays.
The 2% metal fabric features a metallic finish that reflects light and is considered anenergy-saving fabric.
Finally, 5%-tint screen fabrics are very colorful and add vibrancy to the space.
The screen roller shades available on the market come in a variety of designs and applications to meet a range of needs and preferences.
The simplest ones are those equipped with a classic chain, but there are also spring-loaded models or those powered by an electric motor and battery.
Due to their structural design, screen roller shades can be installed either inside or outside the window frame.
Other factors, such as cleanliness and safety, should not be overlooked. It is therefore worth noting that screen roller shades can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and soap, ensuring both hygiene and transparency.
In addition, the material is fire-resistant, which provides the necessary safety measures for fire prevention.
The leading manufacturers of this type of roller shades offer customers a wide range of options for customization.
The colors of the fabrics can vary widely, ranging from white and ivory to darker shades, such as various shades of gray and black.
Users can choose between a bracket or a housing. Depending on the design of their home or office, the base can also be round, rectangular, or in a square “deluxe” format.
