Sunscreen Rollers
Sunscreen roller blinds are a type of window treatment designed to filter and control sunlight entering a room while maintaining visibility and reducing glare. These blinds are made from special fabrics that allow some natural light to pass through while blocking or filtering out a significant portion of harmful UV rays. Sunscreen roller blinds offer a balance between providing daytime privacy, preserving outdoor views, and controlling heat and light.

- Energy Efficiency: By blocking a portion of the sun’s heat, sunscreen roller blinds contribute to energy efficiency by helping to regulate the temperature inside a room. This can lead to reduced reliance on air conditioning in warmer months.
