Exterior Solar Shades
- Air Filtration through most 30-inch x 60-inch double-hung windows is like having a 12 square inch hole in the window.
- Air filtration can be experienced by feeling cold air move across floors
- It can be seen by watching drapes and shades move
- It can be heard whistling through the windows
- It can be seen by watching drapes and shades move
- Heat moves from warmer to colder areas and will enter through a window on a warmer day but escape through a window on a cold night.
Heat travels via three different methods.
The first way is Radiation.
Sunlight is radiation and most of it passes directly through glass, warming the objects on the other side.
The second method is Conduction
Conduction occurs when heat is transmitted through an object. Glass is a good conductor, and transmits heat from warm air that touches it.
The third method is Convection
Conduction happens when heat is stirred by moving air.
Solar shades are an effective energy saver when properly installed and used. The shade forms an insulating layer of air between the shade and the window.
