1.Shading – the amount of shade created between the solar screens and the exterior pane of glass.
2.Reflectivity – reflecting the direct sun’s rays of light off of the screen, defusing the amount of direct sun’s rays in your home.
3.Absorption – the heat that is absorbed and held into the screen material itself and then dispersed back into the air away from the glass.

What’s the difference?………
Do you know the difference between mulch and compost? Mulch and compost can be confused because sometimes the same materials are used for both.
It’s how the materials are used that makes all the difference.

1.Compost is organic waste that decomposes, forming a rich material that can improve the quality of soil. Adding compost to the soil improves drainage and increases nutrients.
2.Mulch is any material layered on top of the soil to prevent weeds from growing, help the soil hold moisture to help to keep the soil temperature more constant.

Unplug the lights and decorations when you are not home, or when not in use. Heat + a pine tree = house fire. The lights could short out and start a fire. Real trees are highly flammable.

Turn off all lights when you go to bed.

Check each set of tree lights for frayed wires, broken bulbs, and loose connections.

Turn off lights before you go to bed or leave the house.

Never run electrical cords under carpets or rugs, over nails, in traffic areas, or where there is a chance of water.

Never use electric lights on a metallic tree. The tree can become charged with electricity from faulty lights, and a person touching a branch could be electrocuted.
Before using lights outdoors, check labels to be sure they have been certified for outdoor use.

Check all tree lights-even if you’ve just purchased them-before hanging them on your tree. Make sure all the bulbs work and that there are no frayed wires, broken sockets or loose connections.

Plug all outdoor electric decorations into circuits with ground fault circuit interrupters to avoid potential shocks.

From the staff at Solar Screens & More we wish everyone a wonderful and safe Holiday!
