Each Koolshade screen is made up of hundred of tiny louvers, each inclined at 27°.

As the sun's rays travel in a straight line at dawn and dusk when the sun is at an angle of 0°, light and heat enter directly into the building, however, as the sun rises in the sky, the screens block out the harmful effects of the sun. Once the sun reaches an angle of 40° Koolshade blocks 100% of the sun's direct rays.

• Blocks all direct glare, therefore significantly reducing reflection on PC and TV screens.
• Blocks 100% of UV, reducing damage to furniture, curtains and artwork
• As Koolshade adds an extra layer to the building, in winter heat loss is reduced by at least 15%

Heat Gain

4% of the radiation is immediately reflected and 82% is absorbed by the screen and radiated outwards. This signifies an 86% reduction in heat gain! Typically temperatures next to the window will be reduced by 10°c or more

Studies in Las Palmas with a SW facing window in April 2006 showed temperature reductions between 10°c and 17°c next to the window.
