Control the sun's negative effects & retain illumination and visibility
Although many people may not realize it, sunlight is one of the most damaging natural elements coming into a person’s home or business. If not properly controlled, sunlight brings with it harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, glare on computer monitors and television screens, discoloration and fading of valuable furnishings and most costly of all, excessive heat that can only be mitigated with air conditioning.
Until relatively recently, blinds, awnings or shades were needed to lessen these byproducts of the sun. The issue is that in reducing these negatives, the positive quality of natural light is diminished as well.
