Choose between UV cut and Sun shading umbrella
December 22, 2020
What is your criteria when choosing an umbrella for sunny and rainy weather?
Design? UV cut rate? Or is it a shading rate? Can we have them all?
Global warming is happening. We have recorded high temperature every year. It is time to know the difference between UV cut rate and shading rate. Then you can choose an umbrella with a different look than before.
The UV cut rate is the rate at which UV rays are cut. Ultraviolet rays are said to cause sunburn and age spots. The higher the UV cut rate, the more effective it is in preventing sunburn and stains.
On the other hand, the shading rate is the rate at which visible light is blocked. Visible light is the light that the human eye can see. The higher the shading rate, the darker the shade, that is, like being in the shade of a tree.
It means that you can feel the coolness.
The term shading rate is often used to describe the shading property of curtains. Generally, a shading rate of 99.40% or more is grade 3 shading. Class 2 shading with a shading rate of 99.80% or more. The shading rate of 99.99% or more is called first-class shading.
At JUPA, a shading umbrella with a shading rate of 99.00% or more. Umbrellas with a shading rate of 99.99% or more are distinguished as first-class shading umbrellas.
If you are worried about sunburn or stains, use the UV cut rate. For those who want to survive the heat and those who are concerned about the sun due to photosensitivity, etc.
So you have better idea on what to choose when buying an umbrella now.
