What Are Sunscreen Blinds?
Sunscreen blinds are roller blinds made using a specially woven fabric that filters sunlight rather than completely blocking it.
They help reduce glare and soften strong daylight while still allowing natural light into the room. During the day, sunscreen blinds can also provide a level of privacy while maintaining outside visibility.
At Sasco Screens & Blinds, our sunscreen blinds are measured to suit your windows and professionally installed for a neat and reliable finish.
Benefits of Sunscreen Blinds
Sunscreen blinds are a practical option for bright rooms where you want to manage sunlight without making the space feel dark.
Reduces Glare
Sunscreen fabric helps reduce glare from strong sunlight, making it useful in living areas, dining rooms and home offices.
Keeps Natural Light
The woven fabric allows daylight to enter the room, helping the space remain bright and comfortable during the day.
Daytime Outside Views
Depending on lighting conditions, sunscreen blinds allow you to maintain a view outside while reducing the ability to see into the home during the day.
Helps Protect Interiors
By filtering direct sunlight, sunscreen blinds can help reduce the amount of harsh light reaching flooring, furniture and interior finishes.
Clean Modern Appearance
The simple roller design provides a tidy finish that works well in both modern and established homes.
Pairs with Blockout Blinds
Sunscreen blinds can be combined with blockout roller blinds to provide flexible daytime and night-time coverage.
Where Can Sunscreen Blinds Be Used?
- Living areas: Helps reduce glare while keeping the room bright and maintaining daytime views.
- Dining areas: Softens strong sunlight and creates a more comfortable daytime environment.
- Home offices: Can help reduce glare on computer screens without completely darkening the room.
- Large windows: Provides practical daytime coverage across wider glass areas.
- Kitchens: Allows natural light while helping manage direct sunlight through the window.
- Street-facing rooms: Provides a level of daytime privacy while allowing outside visibility.
Do Sunscreen Blinds Provide Privacy at Night?
Sunscreen blinds can provide useful privacy during the day when the outside is brighter than the inside of the home.
At night, when interior lights are on, people outside may be able to see through the sunscreen fabric. For stronger night-time privacy, sunscreen blinds should be paired with blockout roller blinds.
Sunscreen Blinds or Blockout Blinds?
Sunscreen and blockout blinds serve different purposes. Sunscreen blinds are designed for daytime light and glare control, while blockout blinds provide stronger privacy and light coverage.
Sunscreen Roller Blind
Reduces glare, softens sunlight and allows natural light and daytime outside visibility.
Blockout Roller Blind
Provides stronger privacy and light control when fully lowered, making it suitable for night-time use and bedrooms.
Combine Sunscreen and Blockout Blinds
A dual roller blind combines a sunscreen blind and a blockout blind on the same window.
During the day, the sunscreen blind can be lowered to reduce glare while maintaining natural light and outside visibility. At night, the blockout blind can be lowered for stronger privacy and light control.
Daytime
Use the sunscreen blind to manage sunlight and glare while keeping the room bright.
Night-Time
Lower the blockout blind for stronger privacy and reduced outside light.
