Solar Shade screens are made of a unique woven mesh that blocks 75% to 90% of the sun’s rays before they enter your home. The primary purpose of this fabric is to reduce the level of solar heat in the summer and save greater amounts of heat in the winter. They also double as a screen for keeping insects out.
