Mylar Shades are made from three layers of very thin
sheets of mylar (each a different color) pressed together to form a single sheet
that reflects solar heat, is durable and transparent. The first color is the color
facing in, the second color is the middle piece of mylar and the third color
faces the street side. Of the five colors we offer two have a silver backing for
greater solar and UV protection, the colors are bronze-silver and gray-silver.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE
We covered half of this window with mylar
and kept the other side uncovered. You can
see for yourself that the right side repels
infrared heat, provides greater UV
protection and preserves the view out while
the left side does none of the above.

The chart on the left illustrates how much of the sun's heat is kept out of your house when mylar window shades are installed.
Colors with a silver backing (street side) repel more infrared
heat, filter less natural light and provide a greater degree of daytime privacy.
