What Are The Benefits of External Vertical Screens?
External vertical screens for window shading have become increasingly popular in recent years as a highly effective way to reduce solar heat gain, glare, and UV radiation, while still maintaining natural light and visibility. In this blog, we'll take a closer look at what external vertical screens are, how they work, and their benefits.
What are External Vertical Screens?
External vertical screens, also known as exterior roller shades or exterior solar shades, are a type of shading system that is installed on the outside of windows, typically on the exterior walls of buildings. They are made up of a fabric or material that is designed to filter and block out the sun's rays, while still allowing some natural light to pass through.
How do External Vertical Screens Work?
External vertical screens work by blocking out the sun's rays before they reach the windows, which helps to reduce the amount of heat that enters a building. The screens are designed to reflect and absorb the sun's rays, which helps to keep the interior of a building cooler and more comfortable. In addition to reducing solar heat gain, external vertical screens also help to reduce glare and UV radiation, which can be harmful to the skin and eyes.
What Are The Benefits of External Vertical Screens?
Energy Efficiency: External vertical screens can significantly reduce the amount of energy needed to cool a building, which can lead to lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions.
Improved Comfort: By blocking out the sun's rays, external vertical screens can help to keep the interior of a building cooler and more comfortable, even on hot, sunny days.
Protection: External vertical screens can protect furnishings, fabrics, and artwork from fading and damage caused by UV radiation.
Enhanced Privacy: External vertical screens provide an added layer of privacy, as they block the view of the interior of a building from the outside.
Aesthetics: External vertical screens can enhance the appearance of a building, as they are available in a wide range of colors and materials that can complement the design of the building.
External vertical screens are a highly effective way to reduce solar heat gain, glare, and UV radiation, while still maintaining natural light and visibility. They offer a wide range of benefits, including improved energy efficiency, comfort, protection, privacy, and aesthetics. If you are looking for an effective way to reduce your energy bills and enhance the comfort and appearance of your building, external vertical screens are definitely worth considering.
