Solar shades are window treatments that are designed to reduce the amount of sunlight and heat that enters an RV’s interior. They are typically made from a mesh or screen material that allows some light to pass through, but blocks out ultraviolet (UV) rays and other forms of solar radiation. Solar shades can reduce cooling costs and glare in your RV or mobile home. In this way, you can also protect furniture and other items from fading due to UV exposure.
