These layers are sewn together to form a soft quilted , padded screen . One side of the screen is a dense aluminium , which has highly reflective properties . The other side of the pad , facing inwards , is fitted with a soft PVC material that has anti-condensation properties . Dacron ( an antiallergic material ) is also incorporated in the Solarscreen for its insulating properties . Each of the screens is sewn and hemmed to the shape of the window opening , which ensures the job is a snug fit . The screens also have specially designed suction-cup discs that get fitted to each screen ’ s reinforced eyelet holes to help ensure the screens stay in place once fitted to the windows .
HOW THEY WORK
Before installing the Solarscreen , it ’ s important to ensure the glass surfaces are clean to help the suction-cup discs stick . This can be done by wiping over the surfaces using some hot , soapy water before drying off with a cloth .
For a thorough clean , we like to give the glass surfaces another wipe over using either a glass cleaner or methylated spirits . It ’ s then a matter of fitting the screens by slightly moistening the suction discs and fitting the screen to the inside window face . Pushing the discs firmly is enough to create the suction required to hold the screen in place . This process is repeated until all the screens have been fitted .
The beauty of Solarscreens is they allow the doors to open and close freely without the need to remove the screens first . Once the screens have been installed , it ’ s time for the reflective pads to go to work . As the screens have reflective and insulating properties , they block harmful sun rays from entering through the vehicle ’ s glass and minimise heat transfer in the process .
The screens are stored in the supplied bag when not in use .
