Transparent Mylar
Normal Production Time 3 to 5 Days
Dramatically increase the energy efficiency of your home or office. Solar Shades are the number one energy saver.
An invisible inner layer of metal reflects up to 74% of the sun's heat.
Transparent Mylar Solar Shades are made of a 3 ply, 4 mil mylar (polyester) material. A thin heat reflective aluminum coating is laminated between two glare reducing sheets of dyed polyester.
Heat is reduced 74%, glare by 90% and 99% of ultraviolet rays are rejected.
Insulating air space between the shade and glass, and the metallization, create a thermos bottle effect on windows. Transparent Mylar Solar Shades are virtually a flexible duo-pane.
Transparent Mylar Solar Shades provide daytime privacy eliminating vision inward from the street side. The view out is maintained eliminating the closed-in feeling of most opaque window coverings.
Transparent Mylar shades are not permanently bonded to the window, you control glare, heat and fading during problem sun hours, then roll up the shades when full light is desired.
Transparent Mylar Solar Shades cut down on air-conditioning cost, increase comfort by maintaining an even, comfortable temperature year round, and eliminate glare in the work area reducing eye strain and fatigue while increasing readability.

Mylar Shades
Cold Weather Applications
The single largest energy-waste area has been neglected - the windows.
It has been estimated that 20% of our nation's yearly energy production is consumed in the air conditioning of residential and commercial buildings, with windows accounting for a disproportionate 25% or 1.7 million barrels of oil per day.
Energy escapes at a rate of 10 to 13 times faster through windows than any other surface, and over two-thirds of the salvageable energy is lost at the window area. Money is literally going out the windows!
Transparent Mylar solar shades achieve the identical insulating air space principle as duo-pane glass, but the Transparent Mylar solar shades go a step further. The skillfully controlled metallized inner layer of the Transparent Mylar solar shade actually re-radiates furnace heat back inside the room. The metallized layer has a thermos bottle effect on windows. In cold weather, cold air penetration is limited and the interior warmth is kept inside.
Daytime Hours
Transparent Mylar Shades provide daytime privacy only. During daytime the outside is lighter than the inside. You are able to see outside during the daytime while eliminating vision inward from the street side.
Nighttime Hours
During nighttime often the inside is lighter than the outside. There will be full vision into the room from the darker outside.
It is true that plant life requires chlorophyll light absorption to activate the food manufacturing process of photosynthesis. However it is the visible light wave-length that the chlorophyll absorbs, not the ultra-violet. Therefore, ultra-violet light is not normally required for good plant growth.
