When choosing screens, it is important to get the colour right. Not only does the colour of your screens alter how your home looks from the outside, it can also impact the effectiveness of your solar shading. The question is, should you choose darker or lighter screens?
Dark colours, such as deep blue, anthracite or black, are the winners when it comes to absorbing sunlight. They also block heat and harmful UV rays. Darker screens prevent the sun’s heat from entering your home. They absorb so much heat, in fact, that your windows will be noticeably cooler. Our darker screens are the most popular ones because of their sun-blocking powers and sleek looks.
Although light colours, such as white and light grey, are not so good at absorbing heat, they are phenomenal at reflecting sunlight. These screens reflect away the sun’s rays before they can reach your windows. Reflective screens also keep your home nice and cool and make it look brighter.
Although you may see the occasional ray of sunlight peak through onto your monitor when you’re working at home, these reflective screens provide excellent protection against the sun!
When choosing between darker or lighter colours, you have to look at your specific needs. If you want to block out the maximum amount of heat, then choose a darker colour such as black. If you want to let more light in and also have some protection against heat, then lighter colours are best for you.
Did you know that the weave pattern and material used in your screen also affect the performance of your solar shading? Tightly woven materials, whatever the colour, are better at blocking sunlight and heat than fabrics with looser weaves.
Solar shading is not purely functional, it also has to blend in with the style of your home. Our screens come in lots of colours, they are brilliant at blocking out the sun and they look great.
