Why You Should Use a Windscreen Sunshade|Novus autoglass

You may have seen that foil shade sitting on people’s dashboards in the summer. You may wonder why people would put foil in their cars, but there is a very valid reason.
Sunshades reflect and absorb the light that comes into your car via the windscreen. They reflect these sun rays before they are trapped in the vehicle, preventing the inside of your car from heating up.

Below are four reasons why you should use a windscreen sunshade:

1.Reduce the car’s interior temperature
Have you ever entered a car and immediately felt like you were melting and just wanted to leave? On a sunny day, the temperature in your car can rise to 30 degrees Celsius in less than an hour. Imagine when it stays in the sun for eight hours. Sunshades help reduce the heat that your car takes on. It can reduce the temperature entirely, and when you enter your vehicle, it’s just the way you left it.

2.Car interior protection
Heat can easily damage the dashboard and seats when they are exposed for too long. The dashboard begins to dry out and crack and the seats lose their colour. Sunshades prevent the rays of light from reaching your seats and dashboard.

3.Electronics
Just like the interior, a sunshade also protects your car’s electronics. The heat can make the electronics overheat and damage them. It is essential to keep your electronics safe and away from heat, and a windshield sunshade will do precisely that.

4.Cooling time
Have you ever been in a rush to get somewhere but your car was too hot? You try to cool the car down but the air conditioning isn’t cooling it down quick enough. To avoid this, use a windscreen sunshade as it keeps the temperature low on a sunny day, therefore making it easier to cool down when you turn the air conditioner on.
