Eagle Shield High-Performance Solar Window and Skylight Shades

All buildings have hot and cold spots. For example, have you noticed how hot it gets in the summer on the western side of your home, even with the air conditioner running at full blast? That's because the glass in your windows actually conducts the radiant heat from the sun's rays, causing heat build up that can make you uncomfortably warm in the late afternoon. Even double-paned windows don't solve the problem.

The Problem is Radiant Heat

In fact, radiant heat is the single largest cause of heat movement in homes and buildings. And the best way to prevent that radiant heat built up is with high-performance radiant barrier technology. That's the beauty of Eagle Shield High Performance Solar Window and Skylight Shades.

 

The Solution is Radiant Barrier

Eagle Shield High-Performance Solar Window and Skylight Shades use radiant barrier technology developed by NASA to block radiant heat from passing through your windows. It is simply the most effective protection available against solar heat gain during the summer and heat loss during the winter.

Fortunately, you don't have to give up your "window on the world" to gain these benefits. Eagle Shield High-Performance Solar Window and Skylight Shades let in the healthful light from outdoors while maintaining both your views and your privacy.

 

Beauty Plus Performance

Eagle Shield High-Performance Solar and Skylight Window Shades are more than just efficient. Their soft, white material enhances the look of any home. They are also easy to clean and maintain year round.

We offer a variety of styles and shapes to fit standard windows, sliding glass and French doors, and skylights. Options include roller shades with or without cassettes, sliding panels and hanging panels

 

 

Skylights are beautiful enhancements to homes, often providing rooms with a brighter, more open and airy feeling than standard windows. But along with the light, skylights can admit summer heat making rooms uncomfortably warm. And in the winter, they can allow your warm air to escape causing cold drafts. Eagle Shield's solar shades for skylights are the perfect solution for your home, using the same technology and material as that used in our window shades.

 

 

  • They block the radiant heat loss in the winter and radiant heat gain in the summer-without sacrificing the light.
  • They can be recess mounted or surface mounted, customized to fit any skylight build, type or size.
  • Recess mounting makes our solar screens invisible from across the room while allowing easy removal for cleaning.
  • Surface mounting provides a clean "picture frame" around the bottom of the window.
  • Frames are available in white extruded aluminum for strength and durability.

The Eagle Shield Difference

Standard roller blinds simply cannot offer the same benefits as Eagle Shield High-Performance Solar Window and Skylight Shades. While standard blinds may block the light, they do not block the heat entering or leaving your home or office. Compare the differences:
