There is no such car owner who would not want to somehow highlight his car. The most popular type of design at the moment is tinting. But it is worth remembering that it can not be applied everywhere. Moreover, in many countries of the world it is prohibited. Another type of design, not prohibited and popular, is curtains for car windows. They have an original beautiful design. What is it, we will consider in our article.

Do I need curtains?

It used to be that the curtains on the car are used only for beauty. But in our time, everyone began to understand their need. Car sunshades protect the eyes of the driver or passenger from the harmful rays of the sun, which can not only affect the he alth of the eyes, but also create a dangerous accident on the road. Indeed, many such cases are already known. In extreme heat, especially in a traffic jam, no air conditioner will help, and the curtains will protect from the penetration of sunlight.

NegativeUltraviolet rays also affect the condition of the car interior. Plastic cracks and burns out. And the curtains will be able to protect the interior from such negative consequences.

What kinds are there?

No one will argue with the fact that curtains are necessary for every car. But which products are best? What kinds exist? A good auto shop will offer you several curtains:

• with sun protection;
• made of good plastic;
• cloth;
• frame;
• only for tailgate glass.

Let's consider each type separately.

With sun protection

This type is the most popular and most budgetary of all. Yes, and such a curtain is attached easier than all the others. There are two suction cups on this sun screen. Accordingly, even a child can install such a curtain. The price of the product is 3–4 dollars (200–300 rubles).

The main disadvantages of the sun screen are its insufficient size, since the manufacturer of the blinds took the average dimensions of the glass as a basis. Often the size of this design is not enough, and it is not possible to fully protect from the sun. It is also worth noting the fragility of this fastening design. Suckers fail after 6 months.

Plastic

The advantage of plastic elements lies in their practicality. The driver at any time can roll the curtain to a comfortable position. But here it is not very convenient to fix it. It is screwed on with screws. However, once did - and forgot. Butreliable.

The main drawback of the curtain is the plastic burnout. After a few months in the open scorching sun, a beautiful black curtain turns into a dull gray one.

Cloth

This design is installed very quickly and easily. This is the main advantage of such a curtain. It is attached to the eaves with hooks. Another plus is giving the interior of the car a touch of luxury and home comfort.

Framework

The most expensive and comfortable curtains currently on sale. Their main advantage lies in practicality and durability. And the interior of the car looks more modern with such curtains.

Another plus is their versatility. The manufacturer produces curtains for a specific car model.

And in addition, it was found that the use of frame blinds increases the efficiency of the car's air conditioning system by 30-40 percent. Plus, these elements can be installed in various places. It can be both car curtains on the side windows and on the rear glass of the trunk lid.

The downside is, of course, the price. For the whole set, you will have to pay about 250-300 dollars (17-20 thousand rubles). But, as practice shows, it's worth it, as their durability is much greater than that of cheaper products.

Which car window blinds to choose?

Quality products must meet certainrequirements:

1. The curtain must be made of good materials so that it does not lose its shape and appearance over time. It is also best to choose products with a water-repellent function.
2. Materials from which the curtain is made must comply with environmental standards. Many cheap Chinese automotive products are made from low quality plastics. It is not only unreliable, but also very toxic.
3. Car sunshades should match the design of the car's interior.

Choosing the best option is not so difficult. You just need to evaluate the class of the car and the interior design. Choose a curtain to match the color of the car or interior.

As a rule, there are no difficulties with color selection, but it is difficult to choose the appropriate curtain class. This is where many people make mistakes. The most common is the installation of a luxurious fabric curtain on a budget class car. Agree, a luxurious curtain, which is installed in cars such as the Rolls-Royce, will look ridiculous, for example, in the Lada Grant.

In closing

Choosing side car curtains is strictly following certain rules. Cloth products can greatly spoil the design of the car interior. Therefore, fabric curtains will suit only a few premium cars. You need to choose the product wisely. If you install fabric curtains in a family station wagon, it will look like a hearse. The most convenient and stylish option is frame curtains.
