Solar screens are the most effective outdoor window shades and inexpensive solution that you can apply to your home for lowering energy bills. They block the heat transfer through your windows and doors while still maintaining your view. Common films are cheaper than solar screens but often leave the undesired effect and in most cases voids your window\'s manufacturer warranty. The U.S. Dept. of Energy says in its 1994 study, that shading the outside exposed windows or doors is the best way to stop heat build up. (www.eere.energy.gov) The Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Clearinghouse says that roughly 40% of heat build-up and heat loss is through windows and doors. External shading is the most effective home treatment to counter these effects. Shading the exposed windows and doors can reduce temperatures by as much as 20 degrees. Other solutions such as indoor window film or blinds or insulated drapes do not block, reflect, or absorb the solar rays before they pass through the glass. The results are simple, heat builds up inside your home. New England Screens offers personalized service and advice to serve every customer.
