What is Shading Coefficient?
Shading Coefficient is important in hot weather and indicates a fabric’s ability to reduce heat flow from the outside into your home through the window shade. A shading coefficient of 0.35 means 65% of the heat stays outside. On a hot day, heat coming in through your windows can raise room temperature by 15-20 degrees and make your air conditioning work two to three times harder. A lower shading coefficient translates into less heat gain, more reflected heat, and lower cooling costs for you. More info on R-Value.
