Sunscreen Blinds
Sunscreen Blinds are designed specially to minimise harsh UV, therefore they are great for protecting your furniture and carpet from fading. They also act as fantastic insulators and reduce glare from the sun. Sunscreen Blinds also offer privacy from the street during the day, often people will like the fact that when pulled down its not obvious if you are home. Sunscreen Blinds do not offer privacy at night if you have the lights on. Sunscreen Blinds can be ordered in combination with Blockout Rollers to create a Double Roller, giving you the best of both worlds for daytime and nighttime use. Continue reading for information our four Sunscreen fabric categories to differentiate the difference in weave openness and comments on colours. Our favourite Sunscreen is Kleenscreen because it offers a great colour range and has a really nice openness to the mesh.

- 5% is the happy medium, provides a nice level fabric openness whilst giving great UV protection

Generally darker colours are the easiest to see through in direct sunlight and will look more like a tinted window from the outside looking in. They can darken the room on a grey gloomy day. Generally lighter colours are harder to see through especially in direct sunlight, they almost appear solid on a very bright sunny day rather than mesh like. This can obscure your view. Lighter colours do keep the space light and airy when pulled down in most daytime conditions. We offer in between colours to help neutralise these effects. For these reasons we highly suggest ordering samples, and holding them in your window to ensure you will get the look you will love.

Uniview 10% now has a 2x2 weave construction instead of 1x1 weave construction. The 1x1 is being phased out and replaced with 2x2. The change was made by Uniline Australia to make blinds wider than 2400mm more UV stable. The difference is most noticeable on multi coloured weaves e.g. White/Grey as an example. The reason this is important is because you may already have used 10% in the old style weave and the new stock will vary to the old stock and we have no control of that. We have stock of the original 1x1 weave and the new 2x2 weave depending on the colour. If we run out of 1x1 old style in a colour it can only be replaced with 2x2 new style.
