    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions


    Q: How long is each roll?
    A: 5 metres 

    Q: What is the difference between Renshade 1350, Renshade 1000, Renshade 340?
    A: It is exactly the same product - it is just in different widths.  Each roll is the same length.  Only the width is different:

    • Renshade 1350 is 1350mm wide (1.35 metres)
    • Renshade 1000 is 1000mm wide (1 metre) 
    • Renshade 340 is 340mm wide (0.34 metres)

    Q: Are Velcro dots included with each roll of Renshade? 
    A: 
     
    Yes. 20 Velcro dots are included with each roll. You can buy more if you wish. 

    Q: Why are there different widths?
    A: 
    The cost of freight!  Anything less than 1.05 metres can be sent via Australia Post flat rate shipping.  That means that Renshade 1000 and Renshade 340 can be shipped right across Australia for a flat and affordable rate.   

    Renshade 1350 is too wide to  fit within Australia Post parameters, so it must be sent via courier.  This can make your Renshade 1350 freight costs higher. If you don't need the extra width, try the Renshade 1000 or Renshade 340 and enjoy Australia Post shipping rates.  

    Q: What do you use the Renshade 1000 for?
    A: 
    Renshade 1000mm roll is very popular for shading windows in high rise apartments and anywhere where the north and western sun cannot be shaded from outside. 

    Q: What do you use Renshade 340 for?
    A: 
    If you are looking for caravan air conditioning, a couple of rolls of Renshade 340mm are perfect for reducing the heat load on a caravan or RV.   Unlike air conditioning, Renshade 340 does not need electricity so it can effectively reduce the heat in your caravan even when you are off road!  It can be put up in the summertime and removed for winter, when you would want the warmth of the sun. 

    Q: Can I join Renshade 340 to shade larger window?
    A: 
    Yes you can join it using regular clear sellotape. Of course you will always see the joins. 

    Q: Can I get a sample of Renshade to see if it is suitable for my home?
    A: 
    Yes - the Renshade 340 is a suitable sample size to test its effectiveness in your home on bigger projects. 

    Q: Can I use Renshade as a privacy screen?
    A: 
    During the day, Renshade will provide privacy as long as the brightest light is outside.  Unfortunately this means that at night with the light on in a room, it is possible to see through it from outside. 

    Q: Can I install Renshade outside?
    A: 
    It depends. If you want to install Renshade under a pergola - then yes, as long as it is protected from high winds and rain. If Renshade is put in a windy or wet environment, it will become very unhappy and not serve you well. 

    Q: My window is wider than 1350.  Can I order Renshade in a wider roll?
    A: 
    Unfortunately 1350mm is the widest that Renshade comes in. It is possible to join it together with good quality cellotape - the dots line up so it is easy to do! 

    Q: Can I make Renshade into a roller blind?
    A: 
    Yes. Please contact a blind maker who should be able to help you. We do not provide that service but are working towards getting a supplier to make them. 

    Q: Does Renshade burn?
    A: 
    Yes Renshade will burn when exposed to a direct flame. Do not expose Renshade to a direct flame. This is particular pertinent to under pergola areas. 
    If you have a gas fired outdoor heater, remove Renshade from the area.

    Q: Is Renshade suitable for double glazed units? 
    A:
    If a double glazing manufacturer believes that window films should not be applied to their double glazed units (DGUs) then the same should apply to Renshade. Renshade has been applied to thousands of homes over 30+ years.  There has been no report of damage from Renshade.  However, optimum results would be achieved via roller blinds or fly screen frames and not directly attaching Renshade to DGUs.

    • Australian Made

    What is Renshade, and how does it work?

    Renshade is a foil-backed, perforated reflective material that you attach to windows, skylights, or pergolas to block radiant heat from the sun. It reflects up to 85% of solar heat, helping keep your home cooler in summer—without blocking all your natural light or view.

    Where can I use Renshade?

    You can use Renshade on north, west or east-facing windows, glass doors, skylights, or pergola roofs, or boats, caravans or RVs —anywhere the sun beats in and heats up your space. It’s ideal for renters too, because it’s removable and reusable.

    Is Renshade hard to install?

    Not at all. Renshade can be easily installed with Velcro dots, blue tac, roller blinds or fly screen frames—with no, or few, tools required. You can cut it to size with regular scissors, and it’s light enough for one person to manage solo. DIY-friendly and super satisfying!

    Great product!

    Our north facing bay window is perfect for warming the house in winter, but has been a really problematic in summer, despite the heavy curtains. Renshade is perfect for seasonal use, and makes a substantial difference to the temperature in the house. Our next biggest problem areas are west facing, but are located off a side verandah. Trying to work out the best approach for our next steps… Renshade under the laserlite or Renshade directly to the window and French doors. Looking forward to a much more comfortable existence next summer!

    Hi Rhonda,

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Renshade Reflective Foil. We are thrilled to hear that it has made a substantial difference to the temperature in your home during the summer months. It's great that you are already thinking about how to use Renshade for other areas of your home, it will work great in either of those applications. We hope you continue to enjoy a more comfortable existence next summer.

    Renshade Reflective Foil - Windows and Pergolas

    Hi Melanie,

    Appreciate you taking the time to share your review with us and the community. Many thanks!

    Effective

    Certainly reduces the heat load inside the house dramatically when applied to my north-west facing windows, much pleasanter inside especially as the house has no cooling system! My only complaint: insufficient Velcro dots supplied with the rolls. I used up 2 rolls to do all the north-west doors and windows (only these, all other windows do not receive direct sun) on this small cottage, 16 windows/doors needing 80 Velcro dots but only 40 dots came with the 2 rolls..

    Hi Victoria,

    We're glad to hear that our Renshade Reflective Foil is effectively reducing the heat load in your home. We apologize for the inconvenience with the Velcro dots. After vigourous testing, we have found that 20 velcro dots should be enough for the vast majority of instances, however sometimes, where there are many smaller windows then, they may run out. Extra velcro dots are avalible for purchase if need be. Thank you for your review! Stay cool!
