Great for patio doors, windows, pergolas, porches, garages and patios.

Customer Reviews

Good Shade
The shade was delivered timely though one end of the package had some water damage. But it did not hurt the product. The shade was easy to install with good instructions. It rolls up smoothly and reduces the direct west sunlight well. It has lowered the temperature on our patio door by 8-10 degrees. The only complaint I have is that the middle of the shade on both sides sags a little inward. Overall I'm very satisfied with the product.
Great Product
We built a pergola this year and I knew I wanted to treat the sides in some way. We started out with bamboo, but did not like the result. I ordered one of these and Liked it so much we ordered 2 more. Installation is a bit of a trick, you must be perfect. measure 3 times, then screw. If you buy the 8', remember 94.75" from screw to screw. Speaking of screws, if you are going into wood, throw the ones that come with the unit away. They are for drywall only. I pre-drilled wholes and the screws are so cheap they still striped the head. Do yourself a favor and get some stainless steel screws of the same size.
The shade is great with only one real issue in packaging/design.
The shade itself is really great and works beautifully. We live in the south and the windows the shade covers face the setting sun and the shade does a masterful job of blocking the glare. It is easy to roll up and down and was installed in just minutes.
The only real problem is cosmetic. The endcaps were broken on delivery and the design is just bad to begin with and then they used cheap materials which was double jeopardy. You cannot get them to replace just the endcaps, you have to return the whole shade (which we had already installed) so be warned not to install if something is not right! I think things would have been ok if they had just bubble wrapped the ends of the shade to package it, but since they did not, they snapped off in shipment.
Baja Exterior Roll up Shade
This shade is a little less expensive than the Coolaroo shade and is just as nice. Mounting was easy and changing the chain from right to left was no problem at all. I did have to go on another website to download and read the instructions. They were more detailed on changing the chain. It also includes the hooks at the bottom. This is especially nice because if there is any kind of breeze the shade will not blow around. I am very satisfied with this purchase.
Solar Shade to help block the sun
The shade serves a purpose which is to block out the afternoon sun when we sit on the patio. It was not as dark as we expected so it still lets some sun get through. But the mechanism to lower and raise it works very well.

Solar control: A general evaluation method for facades with venetian blinds or other solar control systems [An article from: Energy & Buildings]

List Price: $10.95

Product Description

This digital certificate is a journal article from Energy & Buildings, published by Elsevier in 2006. The article is delivered in HTML set-up and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library in two shakes of a lamb's tail after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
A community method for realistic performance evaluation of solar be in control of properties of facades for facades with sun-shading or other solar charge systems has been developed. It is particularly designed to be reach-me-down for venetian blinds. It can be used used 'stand-alone' or within structure simulation programs. The new method has proven to be of spacious practical value to planning teams of monumental office buildings in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The method is presented in detail in this assignment. It can be used either 'stand-alone' (without building simulation) for comparisons of diverse facade variants or within building simulation programs. Some parts of the proposed methodology could be worn in standards (e.g. EN13363) or to improve the accuracy of structure simulation programs which are currently on the market. Common-sensical experience with the new methodology led to insights which are the basis for the construct of two new products. These new products are compared with state of the art products in [T.E. Kuhn, Solar restraint: comparsion of two new systems with the state of the art on the basis of a new accustomed evaluation method for facades with venetian blinds or other solar supervise systems, Energy and Buildings, in press] on the foundation of the new methodology.

Why are "solar" window blinds black? I thought black retains heat.?

I have a south facing kitchen window. I want that side of the house to stay cool since it gets all the heat. I saw solar blinds at Home Depot, and they're black with little holes. Won't that make everything hotter?


You are right, black absorbs heat and light colors reflect it, also, make sure if you really want to reflect the heat be sure the shade is on the outside of the window to prevent the glass window form heating up.

What are some cheap ways of capitalizing on solar energy?

Can i go blind if i watch a solar eclipse?

I just want to know what happens if i look at a solar eclipse with the naked eye, ive heard that it can couse some damage if i look at it.


When You look at a solar eclipse with a naked eye you can get extremely sore eyes.

if You dont look through used camera film or Solar eclipse Glasses you can manage to get uncomfortable to look at light and can sustain eye damge.

Blindness??
Yes.
Permantly Damanged??
Double yes.

after solar eclipses some hospitals do tend to treat damged eye sight, all cases are because the person tried to look at a solar eclipse without eye protection.

so unless you wear proper eye protection or you watch the shadow of the sun on the ground , you can go blind if you continuously watch a solar eclipse in motion.

Can looking at a solar eclipse make you blind?

There's a total eclipse tomorrow - just curious.


Yes, but I never tried it

Can You get Blind by a Solar Eclipse?

Can you get blind by that, is there anyway you can look at it?


Yes you can. You can use a welding helmet with at least a #10 filter or you can make a viewing box to look at it like I did in 7th grade. Here's a link to some plans:
