Moving into a spacious apartment on the 15th floor overlooking the ocean is a dream come true. You could spend all day watching the tide come and go. Then reality sets in and you realize you need solar shades to block out the harsh UV light that flows in through all the windows.
Keep the View Lose the Glare
Whether it is a view of the ocean, a lake, or even the city, sometimes you just have a view you cannot imagine covering up. No matter how bad the glare is or how much the light bothers your eyes at noon, you simply do not want to lose your precious view.
Now, you don't have to. Solar shades also known as solar screens allow you to keep your view. They effectively block out the sun's ultra violet rays without interfering with your view of the ocean. In fact, once you install a solar screen, you will wonder why you did not do it sooner.
UV is Hard on the Eyes
For some people, no matter how much they love gazing out their window, the sun's blaring light is hard on the eyes.
It never fails. You are sitting watching a good program and just at a crucial part, one tiny sunray hits the TV screen just right and you can't see. Worse is when that tiny ray hits the corner of your eye and gives you an instant headache.
UV is Hard on the Furniture
Anyone who has ever removed a photo fall the wall has seen the damage the sun can do to paint and wallpaper. As soon as you remove the photo, there it is. A not so subtle reminder of what your paint used to look like before it fell victim to the sun's rays.
If the sun can do this damage to your walls, think about what it is doing to your furniture. You can repaint a room for less than $100 but can you say the same for your furniture? Furniture, especially leather, can be vulnerable to UV light and the last thing you want to do is replace your $3,000 plus leather sofa because you didn't put up some shades.
Solar Screens are the Answer
While they may not seem like much, solar screens actively work for your benefit. In addition to protecting your eyes and your furniture, they work as a small layer of insulation. When you combine them with other blinds, like the day and night roman shades, you can get privacy and style without sacrificing your view.
