Are you looking for sun shading that truly blocks heat, but unsure which type of Sun Eclipse screen to choose? In this blog, we’ll help you decide.
We’ll explain the difference between Maximum Sunblock and Optimal View, so you can easily determine which option best suits your space, preferences, and needs.
At Sun Eclipse, you can choose between two types of sun shading screens, both mounted with our special suction cups, so no drilling or screws required. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation and are fully made to measure.
The choice mainly depends on how much heat you want to block and how much natural light you want to keep.
Do you mainly use the space during the day and want to keep natural light? Then Optimal View is the better match. These screens block up to 85% of heat when installed on the outside, while maintaining a bright and open atmosphere.
Optimal View is ideal for spaces such as living rooms, extensions, kitchens, or conservatories, areas where you want to keep things light and open, but still stay cool. Even when installed on the inside of the window, you’ll notice a clear temperature difference, especially when choosing a lighter color like White or Boulder.
Up to 97% heat reduction with Maximum Sunblock screens
Do you want to keep as much heat out as possible, for example in a bedroom, kids’ room, or home office? Then Maximum Sunblock is the best choice. When installed on the outside, this screen blocks up to 97% of heat. Even when mounted on the inside, the effect remains noticeable.
This type of screen allows less light to pass through, creating a cooler and more calming space. Ideal if you want to work without distractions, avoid harsh sunlight, or sleep comfortably in a pleasantly cool room.
The screens are also low-maintenance, easy to install, and simple to remove when autumn arrives.
Whether you live in a owned or rental property, with Sun Eclipse there’s no need to drill or make permanent changes to your window frames. Our screens are attached with strong suction cups to any flat window and stay in place, even during summer storms.
When the warm days are over, you can easily remove and store them in the included box.
Choose the colour that best matches your window frame. We supply matching caps in the same colour as your screen. All colours are suitable for outdoor use.

Both types of screens are effective, durable, and easy to install. The main difference comes down to your preference: if you want maximum heat protection and a darker room, choose Maximum Sunblock. If you prefer cooling while keeping light and your view, go for Optimal View.
In both cases, you’re guaranteed a no-drill solution, fully made to measure and reusable for years.

At Sun Eclipse, we continually strive to provide our customers with the best possible support. For this reason, we have collected and answered the most common questions in our FAQ. This way, you can easily find answers to all your questions.
Sun Eclipse screens and suction cups stay put even during a spring storm. Our screens catch little wind because they are close to the windows and the suction cups are designed to last.
The suction cups are a maximum of 100 cm apart. If your screen has a length and/or width that is larger, an extra suction cup is placed halfway so that the maximum distance between two suction cups, measured along one side, is never greater than 100 cm.
Sun Eclipse screens are made of sustainable material, last a long time and ensure lower energy consumption when using air conditioners. It is the simplest solution to indoor heat.
Because Sun Eclipse screens are placed 2 cm from the window’s surface, the screens are supplied with 1.5 cm excess fabric on each side (3 cm per width and height). As a result, the screens close properly and no heat and light can pass through the edges.
You can also opt for no excess fabric, for instance, if you have high square upright edges on your window frames. In this case, choose under ‘which type of frame do you have’ the option ‘Deep and angled’ when you order.
You can request any other changes in the order option. This way you can create a custom sunshade.
Sun Eclipse is an affordable indoor heat solution. That’s why we are online only. By letting the customer do the measuring and assembly, we keep costs, and therefore prices, low.
