UV-PROOF DOORS - A GREAT HOME SOLUTION
For a country located in the tropics like Vietnam, perhaps the concept of hot sun or harmful effects of UV rays will not be too strange. Therefore, for housing projects, in particular, ensuring the ability to resist UV rays is extremely necessary. One of the immediate but effective solutions is to use UV-resistant curtains. So what are the actual benefits of this product? Let's learn with Adorn Museum through the article below!
I. Reasons to use anti-UV curtains
The current housing design style frequently creates an open space through the use of large windows or glass doors. This will allow the buildings above to receive more natural light and wind. However, on hot summer days, especially in tropical monsoon climates like Vietnam, it is critical to find a way to protect against the sun while maintaining the aesthetic factor of these designs.
UV rays are not only bad for your health, but they also shorten the life of your furniture
II. Popular types of UV-blocking curtains on the market
To meet the needs of consumers, more and more anti-UV curtain products are appearing on the market today, specifically as follows:
1. Wooden curtains
When it comes to sun-blocking curtains, we simply cannot overlook wooden curtains. This curtain is made of thin wooden leaves that are 3.5 to 5 cm wide and 0.32 mm thick. They can be arranged horizontally or vertically and linked using a parachute ladder. The benefit of wooden blinds is not only sun protection, but also extremely good UV blocking. The color of the wood will become more and more beautiful over time. At the same time, wood is an excellent choice for projects that require luxury and sophistication while remaining warm and natural.
However, when compared to other types of blinds, the relatively high price of these wooden blinds is a disadvantage. As a result, you can use curtain products made of industrial wood instead of natural wood to save money.

2. Heat-resistant roller curtains
Roller blinds are a type of curtain that is commonly used in most buildings and offices today. Roller blinds, with their simple designs and colors, are ideal for today's dynamic and modern architectural projects.
Roller blinds, in particular, are made of fabric covered with plastic or polyester, as well as high-grade fiberglass, which has a very effective light-blocking and heat-insulating effect. In addition, the design of roller blinds is extremely compact, simple to use, and easy to clean. Curtains are assembled separately for each door, allowing you to adjust the amount of light or the area to be shaded by raising or lowering the blinds. Roller blinds are also inexpensive, which makes them popular among customers.

3. Anti-UV fabric curtains
The fabric has always been the most popular choice for curtains among the materials on the market today. Fabric curtains can complement most home design styles due to their wide range of designs, colors, and patterns. However, not all curtains can be used to protect against the harmful effects of UV rays. Fabrics made of synthetic or semi-synthetic fibers should be preferred. Polyester, acrylic, nylon, and thick, tightly woven fabrics, for example, will improve the curtains' ability to block sunlight and heat. Furthermore, some types of blinds made from synthetic fibers reflect ultraviolet rays better than traditional fabrics. As a result, the cost of these curtain fabrics will be slightly higher as well.
Furthermore, you can increase sun protection by using two layers of fabric or designing a curtain style with an extra layer of chiffon inside. Finally, perform a quick test by shining the phone flash through the fabric. Good anti-UV fabric curtains will not allow light to pass through, and vice versa, if light can pass through easily, the curtain's shielding will be reduced.
