3 Reasons to be Thankful for your Window Solar Screens this Year

At CC Sunscreens, we love November. We love it because it is a special time to come together with friends, family and coworkers to give thanks and appreciation for all the wonderful and beautiful things we have in this life. While celebrating all of the irreplaceable, precious and priceless aspects of life – it may be a good idea to stop and be grateful for the smaller and more subtle parts as well. Maybe give thanks for having a TV and a couch, which allow for wind down time with the family. Or maybe the seat warmer in your car that makes getting to work much more comfortable. Maybe you are thankful for your high-speed internet, which makes getting work done faster so you have more time with those you love.

At CC Sunscreens – we of course also take the time to be thankful for our window solar screens. While it may seem a little silly, there are some really important reasons to be thankful for sun screens.

When asked to list what is most important and valuable to us in this life, chances are friends and family would rate pretty high on almost everyone’s list. This is why protecting them is so important. High quality solar screens block harmful UV rays from entering your home – and therefore from harming your family and their skin. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, approximately 9,500 Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer every day. Current estimates suggest that about 1 on 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime – and Arizona is one of the hardest hit states (https://www.aad.org/media/stats/conditions/skin-cancer).  There is some good news hidden in these scary statistics – and that is that skin cancer is highly preventable. Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is the most effective way to prevent skin cancer. Did you know that the sun’s rays are as harmful through a glass window as they are when playing outside? Many of us don’t think to wear sunscreen while hanging out in the natural light of our living rooms. With solar screens that block 80 or 90% of UV rays, you no longer need to. Now that’s a reason to be thankful this Thanksgiving!

Although not nearly as important as protecting your family – protecting your wallet is still a priority to most. This is another reason to be thankful for solar screens this year. It is estimated by SRP that installing solar screens on your windows will save you approximately 25% of your energy bill each and every month. Because sun screens block the sun’s rays from even touching your home’s windows, it keeps your home much cooler. A cooler home needs less air conditioning and voila – savings on your energy bills.

We spend a lot of time at home – so many of us spend a lot of time, money, and energy making our home a comfortable place to be. Over time, the sun’s harmful rays can damage your furniture, flooring, art pieces, and window furnishings – even through the window and typical insect screens. With solar screens, your belongings will endure 80-90% less of these harmful rays. Therefore, your important investments will last longer and bring you joy for years to come. It’s easy to be thankful for something that protects all that!
