Sunscreens are an aesthetically important choice for your home and also have a direct impact on the effectiveness of your sunshades. But is it best to choose darker or lighter colours?
Darker colours, such as deep blue, anthracite and black, are the kings at absorbing sunlight. It makes them particularly effective at blocking heat and harmful UV rays. Darker screens can catch the sun’s heat and prevent it from entering your home. In fact, they absorb so much heat that it barely reaches the glass. This means that the glass always stays cooler. If we look at the most popular colours, we see that darker screens sell the best. This is because of their high sun-blocking and optical features.
The approach is different with light colours, such as white and light grey. They are not so good at absorbing heat but are phenomenal at reflecting sunlight. It means that the sun’s rays are reflected off light screens before they can reach your windows. Reducing direct exposure to heat also keeps your house cool, but don’t forget that light screens also give your home a brighter appearance!
So when you’re working at home, you may see a ray of sunlight briefly peek onto your monitor, but these reflective screens will constantly give you optimum protection against the sun!
Your specific requirements will determine whether you should choose darker or lighter colours. If you want to block the maximum amount of heat, you should choose darker colours such as black screens. If you want to allow more light to enter and at the same time protect against heat, then lighter colours are best for you.
