Solar protection windows
will protect the room from the heat, soften ultraviolet radiation through the
glass and reduce the stress on the air conditioner. They are especially popular
in hot regions, where in summer the sun is very active. Constant bright
sunlight can destroy interior items and make them faded.

| Windows With the Sun Protection |
There are such main types of sun-protective windows:
1. Transparent tinted glass, which is a thermal and optical filter that can
absorb up to 30% of heat and 20% of light (this indicator depends on the amount
of paint and glass thickness). Pigments added to the molten glass mass give the
canvas a greenish, blue, brown and gray hues.
2. Glass with mirrored coating reduces the intensity of solar energy
by 30–35%, by partially absorbing it, and partially reflecting it. Such type of
windows remain transparent from the inside, and from the outside one can see a
mirror-like surface.
3. Glass with an energy-efficient coating protects the room from solar
activity by 50–70%, and the thermal protection increases twice. Also, a low
emission glass pane prevents thermal energy from leaving the room, which is
very important in the winter.

| A Sunscreen Film for a Window |
There are also special sunscreen films that are glued to the already
finished window. It is desirable that this is done by a professional, as an
incorrectly glued film will look ugly and may even spoil the window.
