Frequently Asked Questions about Solar Film Roller Blinds
What are solar blinds?
Roller blinds made of a specially developed material that blocks heat, glare and UV radiation without obstructing views are known as solar window blinds. This material can be a reflective film or an open weave fabric. Reflective solar film material is the most effective but is quite fragile and should be treated with care. Open weave fabrics are more robust but less effective.
