Solar
Shield inserts for polycarbonate roofs
Keep your conservatory cooler
Tec-Sun Solar Shield inserts are highly-reflective (but transparent), metallized strips of film inserted into the existing polycarbonate, conservatory roof. This internal barrier permanently minimises the amount of solar energy penetrating the conservatory and keeps it cooler.
Solar Shield inserts prevent over 80 per cent of the sun's energy from entering the conservatory, resulting in a decrease of 30ºF or more in summer temperatures and the virtual elimination of glare. They have the added benefit of rejecting 98 per cent of the sun's UV rays, protecting fabrics and furnishings from fading.
Prevent heat loss in the winter
The Solar Shield inserts also perform in winter, preventing up to 50 per cent of heat loss through the roof and all this is achieved without a significant loss in light.
Stopping the rays of the sun from ever actually entering the conservatory is the crucial element in effective summer temperature control. It is in this aspect that solar inserts succeed where internal roof blinds are bound to fail.
Why
traditional blinds fail
Internal blinds can only deflect solar radiation once it has already entered your conservatory and has already started to heat the air inside the conservatory. Internal blinds effectively create a radiator in your roof by trapping a layer of hot air between the polycarbonate roof and the blind.
