Sunscreen Blinds

Sunscreens are the most popular product for daytime privacy and UV protection. The primary purpose of a Sunscreen Blinds is to protect carpet and furnishings from UV fading. Secondarily, they minimise glare on TV and computer screens. We stock a range of neutral colours to suit your home, as well as different weave openness (5%, 8%,10%) which determines the UV protection rating and the viewing capability.

As a general rule on a bright sunny day, darker colours are easier to see out of from the inside. However lighter colours help keep your interior space feeling light and bright. We have a white and a black sunscreen on display side by side in our showroom which is worth having a look at to help you decide on what will work best for you. It is also important to think about how they will look from the exterior of your home. So often where hear the comment that “white to window” looks like a sheet of fabric is in the window. By contrast the darker colours look like tinted glass so for security reasons can be better as people are unsure if your home or not. During daylight hours if your sunscreen is down, you can see out clearly, but from the outside people cannot see in. 

Sunscreens can be made to suit doors and windows up to three metres wide. If your windows are wider than three metres, we have the ability to link two or three blinds side by side. This product is not private at night when you have the lights on, for that reason you may need a second blockout blind using a double bracket. We can also motorise our Sunscreens. Just like everything else, these blinds are made in Feilding, we use the latest ultra-sonic aeronaut cutting tables to seal the edges whilst fabric is being cut precise to size.
