Review: Solar shades savings - UPDATE 1/11/14: I have had this sun shade fabric installed as sun shades for my windows for over 2 years now. I have single pane windows that I cannot afford to replace with more efficient windows. Analysis of this project demonstrated a 40% decrease in energy usage *on average* in the past two years. In the summer months, I have had a decrease of 20 kw per day usage. Most summer months I averaged 47 kw per day before the installation. After the installation, the monthly energy usage has been a high of 27 kw per day (most months are lower in actual usage). The fabric is in excellent condition that only needs a light dusting occasionally. You can see out of the fabric in the day time. At night, if I have the living room lights on, you can see outlines and movement in the house. (ORIGINAL REVIEW) I debated a very long time on whether to purchase this fabric. I have no idea why I waited so long...but this was a huge mistake to wait. I built solar shades for my windows. Let me explain. I built frames in 1 x 2 inch cedar wood and stapled the fabric to the back. This gave the frame added stability and some depth. I originally intended to mount these shades externally on my single pane windows. The fabric and cedar frame were so pretty; I used them as a feature on an internal mount against the window. The amount of light coming through the fabric was surprising given the amount of heat that it kept out. I have received my first electric bill since mounting the shades. The shades were up for 21 of the 30 days on the bill and I still saved $40 compared to same time last year. Also, this billing period was 3 degrees hotter on average than last year. So, a 20% electric reduction for that cycle. Since then, I finished mounting the last solar shades on two east facing picture windows. I even mounted a double layer of fabric over the windows in my front and rear doors using mounting tape. I do have matchstick blinds on the door as an aestetic cover that is complemented by the fabric's color and texture. While the door's windows are blocked from viewing, the heat is completely blocked. The fabric is easy to handle and cut with regular scissors. The staples 'gripped' the fabric well when stetching and mounting. The fabric on the door's windows has curled a bit on the one edge that is not secured. If I had put a hem and lightly ironed that finished edge, it would no longer curl. I highly recommend this product. As a matter of fact, I plan to make a solar canopy to attach to a small deck area that is on the drawing board. Meanwhile, I keep telling everyone who gripes about their electric bill about this fabric. Here in Central Florida it has been a very brutal summer. These solar panels will pay for themselves in two billing cycles of my electric bill; that includes the cost of wood, fabric and hardware. For me, that is a huge win!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do you fit the fabric onto the window it doesnt seem to come with option of hardware lthough someone talks of it?**
A: All you are buying is the raw fabric. Sorta like when you buy the fabric for a screen door. If you want to make the fabric into a curtain or something, you will have to sew it (or have it sewn) and fasten it. On mine, I sewed a 1.5" double hem across the top. I heated the tip of a screw driver and melted holes 12" apart so I could run screws though it to screw to a rafter. I ran a 1" hem down both sides to give it a clean, strong edge. Then I sewed a 2.5" hem in the bottom and ran a piece of PVC tube though it to secure the bottom. I can also roll it up around the PVC tube inside the bottom hem..

**Q: Can you trim this down to smaller than 15 feet, or will it start to fray?**
A: Donna,  I have trimmed this fabric and it does not fray.  Just to be sure, you should consider folding over the cut area or using an anti frayliquid available at a fabric/sewing store.

**Q: How do you install this?**
A: I put it on top of my pergola and used furring strips on every other pergola slat. And a staple gun with heavy duty staples for the ends. The ends I folded over twice, like making a hem, before stapling. Lasted me 7 years and kept my house cool. Replacing it with new one this week. Having my deck and pergola cleaned and repainted.

**Q: Why are there no decent pictures of the colors available. You can tell nothing by looking at a roll of the stuff. Come on Amazon.**
A: Look on the Coolaro web site. Better pictures but only show three color options. Not sure why.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used for outdoor shower privacy panels/ curtains
*by L***H on June 25, 2019*

So it took me a while to figure out exactly how I wanted to use this so I’ve been sitting on the roll of fabric for over a year now and finally had an “a-ha” moment! We just had our pool redone with new decking and fencing. We’ve always had an outdoor shower area but this year I needed to build one that was temporary and did not want to drill or nail anything into the new wood panels we just put in. So I remembered that I had this awesome sunshade fabric stored away in the shed. Pulled it out and it saw it was perfect for making durable, outdoor shower curtains/ privacy panels for my temporary shower. It was so easy to use and I can’t believe I didn’t think of this use before! These panels I made will definitely hold up and I’m sure I’ll be able to reuse them for next years shower as well. Here’s how I modified the fabric to make the shower curtains / privacy panels. 1) measured off two pieces per my specific needs, cut 2) made a no-sew hem line on the raw edges I would be using as the “top” of the curtain/ panel using fabric fusion glue. Folded over for an approximate 1/2” hem, applied glue working in small sections, using a Fabric / quilting clip to hold into place while drying. The sides were already seemed as I cut them to turn out that way. Let dry overnight and removed clips the next day. The fabric fusion did an excellent job adhering creating a faux hem. Very happy with how that turned out. I was a little worried because the sunshade fabric is a a lot thicker and more coarse than normal fabric but my fears were unfounded. 3) attached the panels to my diy pvc shower rod using the metal curtain clips. The kind that you can slip on the rod and then has a clip where you can attach it where you want to. I decided on this method as I didn’t want to weaken the sunshade by putting holes in it for traditional curtain shower rings. Plus I could manipulate it after the fact if I didn’t like how it looked. Also it was just easier and took less time. I slipped the curtain clips on first and then hung up my sunshade shower curtain/ privacy panels where I wanted them. Easy peasy! They look way better than those cheap plastic shower curtains I usually use plus they’ll last so much longer. The plastic ones usually end up tearing or ripping in a rain storm and I have no fear that will happen. If they last the swim season I’ll be perfectly happy with that! * once I got them up I decided not to hem the bottom of the sunshade fabric. I had originally thought that I would need to add some weight of some sort to keep them from blowing around but they are perfectly fine as is and in my opinion and experience creating an outdoor pool shower for the last 12 years, this fabric will be heavy enough to sustain itself and doesn’t need anything to help it stay in place. We haven’t had a good storm yet so I can’t be 100% certain but my experience tells me they’ll be just fine. I also thought the raw cut edges would bother me (think OCD) but surprisingly it actually adds to the charm of an outdoor shower. I’ll definitely be purchasing more of this when the time comes to replace the ones I made. Please see my pictures for more explanation as to how I used the fabric.
