Why is EZ Snap So Effective at Stopping Heat?
EZ Snap Shade Screens are installed on the outside of your windows
Exterior shading places the Shade Mesh between the sun and the window glass, stopping up to 90% of the heat before it enters the home or office… far superior to window tinting or film.
Exterior Shades vs. Window Film:
Home window tinting or window film are installed on the inside and reflect heat back into the windows weather seal. This can damage the seal, causing it to expand and contract every time there is a temperature change. For example, cloud cover to full sun then back to cloud cover.
If this continual superheating and cooling of the windows seal causes it to fail, moist inside air gets into the space between the glass causing condensation and loss of the windows insulation value or R Value.
To stop the heat properly you need to do it before it hits the glass surface outside.
Remember: Windows are typically the source for up to 48% of the heat build up inside a home. EZ Snap exterior shades quickly pay for themselves through energy savings.
EZ Snap® Optical Grade Shade Screens
EZ Snap® shading mesh is an Optical Grade of exterior window shade cloth or shading screen. Most shade cloth mesh or solar screens will provide a significant shade factor, but many of them will distort your vision when you look through them because of their weave style.
