What is Solar Screen Fabric?

What is Solar Screen Fabric?

The fabric used in a solar screen is specially formulated from materials that will impede heat transfer and block the sun’s harmful UV rays. Usually the fabric is synthetic, and top-quality screens will be made to resist fading and mildew. This makes them particularly appealing as shade options for patios and pool decks, and homeowners are increasingly turning to retractable solar screens as a convenient way to get more use out of their outdoor living areas during times of intense sunlight or inclement weather.

The fabric is an important aspect to consider when investing in a retractable screen, not only because the quality of the fibers will determine its durability, but also because the openness of the woven material will play a key role in how suitable the fabric is for your purpose. For example, the tighter the weave, the more sunlight, rain, and outside air will be blocked when the screen is rolled down. However, a tightly woven screen may also obscure your view of the outdoors. The best way to make sure you get the solar screen features you want most for your patio or windows is to turn to a trusted company with a long history of providing retractable shade products.
