Why Is It Important to Block UV Rays at Home?
Health
It is estimated that approximately 9,500 people are diagnosed with skin cancer every day in the US, with one in five Americans developing skin cancer in their lifetime. Apart from wearing sunscreen and long-sleeved clothing, another tip is always staying in the shade. But if you enjoy being outside in your backyard reading your book or visiting with your friends, consider installing one of our retractable shadings; not only will it protect your health by preventing skin damage, but it will protect others, too.
Furniture & Art Fading
We all understand the importance of shielding our skin from harmful UV rays, but have you ever considered what sunlight might do to your valuable artwork, furniture, flooring, and the rest of your home’s interiors? From compact shading to vertical drop awnings, our rolling shutters can protect the inside of your home from UV damage.
The sun’s effects on interiors can be surprisingly harsh. Even overcast days, UV rays can fade and degrade fabrics, carpets, hardwood floors, and artwork. Sunlight can also bleach and dry out indoor and outdoor wooden furniture. It can damage or stain finishes and weaken joint sealants.
TVs & Electronics
UV rays can affect TVs and electronics such as stereos and computers by degrading the plastic casing and causing discoloration over time. Some research has also indicated that excessive UV exposure can degrade the LCD panels of TVs and computer monitors over time, affecting the image quality. The short answer is to protect your TVs and electronics from prolonged exposure to the sun.
How Can I Protect My House from UV Rays?
Rolling Shutters
Our residential DuraComfort rolling shutters can offer an all-in-one solution for UV protection, storm protection, and security. Engineered to deter intruders, these shutters provide enhanced security and increase your home’s curb appeal.
You can customize your roller shutters with different foam fillings, materials, and their type of operation, manual or automated. Though these adjustments will usually increase the cost of your exterior rolling shutter, thanks to its versatile design, it can be installed on nearly any surface, and with no perforations when shut, they block all UV light.
Retractable Shading
Consider Rollac’s retractable shading options if you want some shelter while relaxing on your patio, deck, or balcony. Combining style with practical shade, this trendy covering has many applications in addition to traditional outdoor spaces such as the patio, as seen in our buying guide. Retractable awnings can be installed over a home’s windows and doors, swimming pools, barbecues, or outdoor kitchens. The cost of your retractable awning will vary depending on its size, the type of operating mechanism (motorized or manual), and where it’s being used.
Compact Window Shading
If you live in a home with uniquely shaped or sized windows or where a traditional retractable awning doesn’t quite fit, Rollac has you covered. We offer compact shading in vertical drop awnings that can be installed on nearly any surface. Our free-hanging vertical drop awning is ceiling-mounted and relies on a weighted bar and gravity to keep the screen securely in place. Both practical and economical, our vertical drop awnings offer effective protection from direct sunlight when opened, lowering the temperature inside your home and protecting your possessions inside so you’ll never have to worry about UV exposure again.
Window Shading
Rollac’s drop arm awnings offer an effective window shading solution, allowing you to control the amount of sunlight entering your home. Our drop-arm awnings are crafted to deliver unbeatable protection from harmful UV rays, glare, and heat. This type of window shading can provide your home with some much-needed privacy.
Solar Shades
Our ZipShade offers a sophisticated solar shading solution that delivers outstanding protection from the sun, insects, and wind—it has been officially tested up to 80 mph. Our solar shades enhance the outside look of your home and, thanks to its innovative zip system, combine style with functionality.
Outdoor Structures
From pergolas to Camargues, our stand-alone outdoor structures can create a luxurious feeling in your backyard or garden. With their louvered roofs, you have control over the light levels, allowing you to protect both your furniture and yourself from harmful UV rays. Plus, our Camargues are customizable with options to enhance noise protection, creating a peaceful environment by helping diffuse or mask unwanted sounds such as nearby traffic or loud neighbors so you can enjoy your outdoor oasis thoroughly.
