Innovative System Creates a Completely Closed Solar Shade to Maximize the Reduction of Energy Cost

Toronto, Canada, June 15, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Craft-Bilt Materials Ltd. has added a zipper system to its exterior retractable solar shade product line, Betterliving™ Solar Series II, to create a completely closed exterior solar shade. The zipper system on the solar shade helps to limit UV rays coming through the glass and blocks wind and bugs from getting between the solar shade and the window.

Craft-Bilt Materials Ltd. has been a leader in the home improvement business since 1992 producing awnings, sunrooms, patio covers, screen rooms, and shade products. Betterliving™ Exterior Solar Shades feature the latest achievements in technology, electronics, and engineering. Suitable for both residential homes and commercial buildings, exterior solar shades will pay for themselves year after year through reduced energy costs. By keeping the sun from heating the window glass with solar shades, the inside of the home stays cooler. Shades also block UV rays, preventing fading of furnishings. Exterior solar shades are also a great way to block the heat and the light for home theaters, covered patios, porches and sunrooms. Powered by Somfy Motors and controls, the shades can be operated by remote control individually or as a group.

Betterliving™ Solar Series II features a zipper tracking system in a completely closed unit attached to the outside of the window to create maximum coverage from the sun. With this system on the house, homeowners will see a reduction in their cooling costs bill due to the sun’s rays being blocked, which decreases the heat building up in the home. In addition to blocking the sun’s

UV rays, the zipper system also increases the level of protection in windy locations and limits bugs getting between the window and solar shade by having the fabric in an enclosed unit.
