【Car Sunshade】On-site quality heat insulation specs! Block the heat for summer measures

The moment you open the car door in summer, the stuffy heat hits you, the steering wheel gets too hot to touch. And the seat is unbearable to sit in until the air conditioning kicks in. If you want to deal with it comprehensively, physically blocking the heat is the optimal solution. Let’s effectively cut infrared rays with a heat insulation specialized car sunshade.

The capabilities of heat-insulating sheets for factories and warehouses are directly brought into cars

The biggest feature of the heat-insulation specialized car sunshade "TwinShade" is that it utilizes "high-performance heat-insulating sheets" adopted in the ceilings of factories and warehouses. By using leftover materials that inevitably occur during installation, materials that were supposed to be discarded have been reborn as car sunshades.

By the way, a demonstration experiment conducted in a certain warehouse showed that the temperature inside the warehouse decreased by as much as -8℃ compared to when there was no installation. Since the temperature is kept at almost the same level as the outside air, it is clear that it has high heat-insulating properties. Such impressive performance.

The infrared rays contained in sunlight warm the dashboard and steering wheel, causing radiation heat to occur and resulting in a “greenhouse effect,” where the interior temperature becomes higher than the outside air temperature. TwinShade strongly blocks this source of heat intrusion. It has been confirmed that even in experiments where infrared rays exceeding 100℃ were directed, very little heat reached the backside.

The structure is sheet-like without a framework, and it can be easily installed simply by securing it with a rubber band that passes through the sun visor. Because there is no framework, there is no worry about damaging the dashboard or interior, and there is no risk of bumping into anything when removing it. When folded, it becomes an A4 size with a thickness of 2 cm, allowing it to fit easily in door pockets or seat back pockets. There’s no need for a special folding method, so it can be stored without hassle even when going out.

It has a two-part structure with a deliberately cut-out central section, which means it is designed not to obstruct the camera footage of the dashcam when layered.

The material has properties that make it easy to crease, allowing for flexible adjustments, such as filling in the quarter windows according to the vehicle model. Its durability, considering long-term use, includes resistance to water pressure, UV, thermal stability, tear resistance, and puncture resistance, which is also a great point for practical usage.
