Solar Heating Drapes
Solar heating drapes turn sunlit windows into giant solar radiators,
and it even melts snow & ice!
Now your sunlit windows at home, in your RV, boat or camper can be transformed into giant solar radiators with our new interior window Radiant solar heating drapes. It can also be laid over snow or ice outdoors on sunlit areas to increase melting—even on freezing days. Instead of being highly reflective like the thermal barrier fabric, it is a deep black, heat and UV resistant HDPE (high density polyethylene) plastic fabric specially designed to absorb solar energy and efficiently convert it to heat.

These are not blackout curtains . Filtered sunlight will enter the room ClearDome Solar heating drapes installed on patio doorand the outdoors is visible from the inside during the day. When positioned near a glass surface, peak winter midday temperatures as high as 135 degrees F degrees are generated and radiated back into the room as long as direct sunlight touches the heat absorber surface. It’s not a total black out curtain because the outside can be seen on a sunny day.
In numerous tests in Missouri and New York, on sunny days with 0-20 temperatures outdoors, heating fabric morning temps rose up to 115-125 degrees F behind clear double glazed glass. By heating the fabric and glass above the ambient room temperature, heat can’t escape and the windows become thermal barriers to reduce further heat loss. That’s because hot always travels to cold, and not the opposite.
If you choose to not block the view outdoors, one option is to lay the drapes flat on the sunlit floor near windows. Stand or sit over in the center of this unique solar heating fabric and you’ll feel the sun’s soothing heat radiating up and around you, coming from the fabric. Your pets will love it too!
The Solar Heating Drapes do not stink or off-gas, and require no additional power to generate up to 2,000 BTU per panel on a sunny day. By heating the glass and fabric well above the ambient room temperature, heat can’t escape out the windows and they both become perfect thermal barriers to help keep room temperatures warmer. Hot always travels to cold, so the radiant heat inside the room is absorbed by cooler walls, the floor and furniture, and is stored for release back into the room when the temperatures drops.
Also most moisture condensation on the glass is eliminated on solar drape covered sunlit windows, reducing window frame damage and mold formation on the frames. The drapes can be cut to fit any window size and attached with wall mounted hooks, hung on curtain rods, or hung from the included suction cup hooks that attach to the window glass. To melt snow or ice outdoors in sunlit areas just lay the drapes over the snow or ice covered area such as a driveway or walkway and place rocks or bricks on the corners to prevent wind from lifting the fabric. It is unaffected by freezing temperatures or moisture.
This durable solar heat absorbing fabric will not unravel after being cut and is available for purchase in two standard sizes and larger bulk sizes over 500 square feet. It’s only $89 plus shipping for the standard 6’ x 9’ patio door size or $289 for the larger 12’ x 22’ size—four times larger than the small piece. Much larger unlimited bulk sizes of the fabric can be special ordered.
