The special fabrics used to make exterior shades are specifically designed to block solar radiation, and because these shades can keep the sunlight from even reaching your window glass, they are the superior choice for reducing the heat transferred into your home in the summer.
Interior shades can also be very effective at reducing how much of the sun's heat your home absorbs. The best shade fabrics to block solar heat include some of these qualities:
More opaque fabrics will allow less light, and therefore, less heat, to enter a room.
Thicker and more tightly woven fabrics are better insulators, doing a better job of creating a buffer between the heat outside and the coolness inside.
Lighter colors are less able to absorb solar radiation, so selecting lighter colored shades will reflect more of that heat back outside where it belongs.
In the same way a thicker fabric can act as an insulating barrier, shades with a cellular or honeycomb construction are better able to prevent solar heat from traveling into rooms.
