What is a solar screen

A solar roller screen is a type of window treatment that is designed to reduce the amount of sunlight and heat that enters a room while still allowing for some level of visibility and natural light. The screen is typically made from a mesh material that is woven tightly enough to block out a significant amount of UV rays and heat, but still loose enough to allow some light to pass through.

One of the key features of a solar roller screen is its opacity, which refers to the amount of light that is able to pass through the screen. Screens are available in a range of different opacities, from fully transparent to completely opaque. The opacity of a screen is determined by the density of the weave, with denser weaves blocking out more light and heat.

In addition to opacity, solar roller screens also offer different levels of light control. Some screens are designed to filter light, which means that they allow some light to pass through while diffusing it so that it is softer and less intense. This can be a good option for rooms where you want to reduce glare and bright spots but still maintain a bright and open feel.

Other screens are designed to block light completely, which can be a good option for rooms where you want complete privacy and light control, such as bedrooms or media rooms. These screens typically have a higher opacity and can be paired with blackout curtains or shades for even more light control.

Overall, solar roller screens offer a versatile and effective window treatment option for controlling the amount of sunlight and heat that enters a room while still maintaining visibility and natural light.
