It’s no hidden fact that the UV rays of sunlight are extremely dangerous for human health. They can cause severe sunburns and skin diseases. But, did you know that these UV rays are equally harmful to your home’s interior? Direct exposure to sunlight can affect your furniture, hardwood floors, and artworks and cause damage like fading and cracking.
With summers just around the corner, it is necessary to take all necessary steps that are needed to protect your home’s interior from irreversible sun damage. Let’s have a look at some of the ways that can help you keep your home’s interior from getting affected by these harmful UV rays.

1.     Move Your Furniture Around

Having anything in the direct path of sunlight for prolonged periods causes the maximum damage. Moving your furniture around will prevent any one piece of furniture from getting prolonged sun exposure.

2.     Get Your Windows Tinted

If you’re willing to spend money to protect your home’s interior from sun damage, getting the windows of your home tinted is a good idea. A tint film limits the number of UV rays entering through the windows, hence, protecting your home’s interior from sun damage. The best thing about tinted windows is that they still allow natural sunlight to brighten up your home. It blocks the UV rays and hence, keeps your furnishings from fading.

3.     Add Protective Layers

Another way to protect the furnishings inside your home from sun damage is by adding protective layers over them. Cover your sofas with blankets during the day and coat your furniture with a sealant. It will keep your furnishings from getting exposed to UV rays directly.

4.     Draw the Shades Down

The best way to protect your home’s interior from UV damage is to limit the amount of sunlight entering. One of the most effective ways of doing so is drawing the shades and blinds down during the day to keep the sunlight from entering through the windows altogether. With minimal sunlight, there will be no sun-related damage to your home’s interior.

5.     Install Window Sunscreens

If you’re looking for an efficient and promising way of protecting the interior of your home from sun damage, installing window sunscreens is the best idea. Window sunscreens serve as an additional layer over your windows that block the maximum amount of UV rays and hence, prevent any sun-related damage to your home’s interior. Solar window screens are specially designed to serve as a barrier for UV rays. It is, by far, the most effective way of keeping the harmful UV rays out of your home.

Summary

Taking the right measures before the summer season strikes is your best bet! Window tinting and window sunscreens are the most reliable preventive techniques.

Studies suggest that the cooling system of your house accounts for 13% of the total energy costs (Ref: American Physical Society). You can reduce your energy costs by taking measures to keep your house cooler during the summers. Some of the common practices that people undertake for this purpose are getting window tinting and installing solar window sunscreens.
While window tinting is effective, it stands nowhere near what solar sunscreens are capable of. If you’re planning to install solar sunscreens in your home this summer season, it is understandable that you may have some questions in your mind. We have listed down some of the most frequently asked questions about solar sunscreens along with their answers to help you make the right choice.


1.     What Are Solar Screens For Windows and Are They Same As Sun Screens?
​
Solar screens and sunscreens are used interchangeably. They are exterior window treatments that are custom-made to fit your windows. They are capable of blocking up to 90% of the harmful UV rays of the sun from entering your home, hence keeping your house cooler during warmer months.


2.     Are Solar Sunscreens Energy-Efficient?

Numerous studies back the fact that solar sunscreens for windows are highly energy-efficient. They can block as much as 90% of the harmful rays from the sun. They serve as a barrier and keep the sun rays from reaching the windows. With that, the heat from the sun rays is prevented from entering your home. As you reduce the heat gain through the windows into your home, the air conditioning system will have to work less, and this is reflected in your energy bills.

3.     Are Solar Sunscreens A Green Product?

Yes. Solar sunscreens for windows are a green or eco-friendly product. Since they reduce the amount of heat entering your home through the windows, it keeps the interior cooler. When the interior of your home isn’t as hot, the air conditioning system has to work lesser, which reduces the amount of exhaust that is let into the environment.

4.     Can You See Clearly Through Solar Sunscreens?

Solar sunscreens for windows barely obstruct the view through the windows. In fact, solar sunscreens are an excellent alternative to other sun-blocking meanders like tint films, shutters, plantation, and awnings as they block the view. A solar sunscreen for windows is clear and un-obstructive, hence enables you to enjoy the view as clearly as before.

5.     Can People Look Inside Your Home Through Solar Sunscreens?

The best thing about solar sunscreens for windows is that it allows you to have a clear view outside from the interior but doesn’t allow anyone from the outside to look inside. It is virtually impossible for anyone to peek inside through solar sunscreens during the day. During the night, when the lights are switched on inside, you can have a look inside, but that too is extremely clouded or faded.

Summary

​Installing solar sunscreens for windows is a great way to keep the interior of your house comfortably cool during warm summer afternoons. Solar sunscreens effectively block the harmful UV rays from entering your home, are eco-friendly, prevent people from invading your privacy by peeking in a while enabling you to enjoy a clear view from the inside, and above all, helping you cut down on your energy bills.
