So you’ve got a screen enclosure in Polk County, FL or Central Florida. We all know we live very sunny place. Sun control is an important factor to consider when building a screened in patio or full pool enclosure. Though no substitute for sunscreen and long sleeves, patio screens can block out some of the sun’s harmful UV rays (30% – 80%). They can also keep your patio up to 15 degrees cooler.
Solar screens are made from a special type of mesh that control the sun’s heat and glare. There are a variety of screen types to choose for your screen patio or pool enclosure to best protect your family.
Not only can screens keep 30-80% of the sun’s UV rays out, they can also keep up a significant amount of the sun’s heat off your patio. Like sunglasses, solar screens may look dark from the outside but visibility from the inside out is maintained.
