How to buy good quality windscreen blinds for parking

Sunlight can cause irreparable damage to the interior of your car. UV radiation can dry out the dashboard material over time, leading to cracking and wear. Of course, sunlight also means warmth, and the temperature inside your car can quickly reach 150 degrees or more even on a relatively mild day. The answer lies in the use of shade for parking.

There are several considerations to be made before purchasing a parking shade. First of all, you need to consider the size, as well as the material. UV resistance and installation method must also be taken into account.

  • SizeA: Size here is one of the most important factors. You need a parking shade wide enough to fit your car's windshield. Check the packaging or product description to see which models it fits. If it only provides shade dimensions, you will need to measure the inside of your windshield to see if it will fit.

  • Materials: Car park awnings are made from a variety of materials, including cardboard, fabric, and metallic coating. Of the three, the fabric tends to be the least protective and the shortest. Cardboard provides good protection from light and heat, but not for that long. Shades with a metallic reflective finish provide the best combination of temperature control and light/UV blocking.

  • UV resistance: Ultraviolet is always present, even when overcast. If it's daytime, harmful UV rays are penetrating through your car's dashboard. These rays can be very destructive, and this applies to your shadow as well. Check the UV resistance of a shade, as this will give you a good idea of ​​how long it will last, allowing you to make an informed buying decision.

The right parking tint will protect your dashboard from harmful UV rays and help control the temperature inside your car.
