how much heat does it keep out

I didn't purchase this for a heat reducer but more for privacy and to keep out the bright light. I'm sure it helped some, but I can't the amount.

My back hall was very hot because of the sun coming in the windows but now it's not. This screen keeps all the heat and light out. I'm glad I put it in.

I don't have an actual tool to measure but it seems the temp in the room with the window covering is at least 5-10 degrees cooler than the others. Plus we have a fan going, but there is a big difference. it is nice and we LOVE it.

I would estimate about 80% of what normally comes through our front and back windows at the hottest part of the day. We do have it on the front window as well as our French doors in the back master bedroom. Really love it! Hope this helps.

They make a difference of about 1-3 degrees in a smaller room. These are more for privacy than heat efficiency.

its not as dark as the pic-but it does reduce heat as well as privacy, just not sure how much.

It definitely helps with the sunlight and the heat created from the sun but I wouldn't say it's substantial. More for privacy.

i cant say for certain however with it keeping dust out that will inevitably keep heat down along with the fact that it allows vents to stay open instead of being clogged by your pants, i always keep it plugged in.

Suppose to heat up to 900 SF. I have mine in my living room about 600 SF with high ceilings and it keeps it warm.

It does a good job of keeping the car cooler. Nothing will prevent heat from getting in. I have a white car, live in Florida, and the interior still gets warm even with heavy window tinting and the heat shield. Guess it depends on where you live. I am happy with the design.

I'm heating a newly insulated & drywalled 1200 sq.ft. house with 10' ceilings, still under construction. It keeps the inside temps in the 60's while on low heat and outside temps in the 20-45 deg. range. Well insulated space is important-

I bought one to cover a BMW 123i and had more than plenty of room left over. No moisture under cover but not sure about the keeping out heat although it should help. I have a garage now and do not use it.

It works great and is quiet, but it doesn't heat a very big area. Maybe 30x30 area. I think it will last a long time.

it depends how long you keep it on. I use it in a fairly large room (12x14x10 height) and put it close to me. In an hour or so (door closed), the room has heated 6 to 8 degrees.

I use it under a covered patio with about 6-8 inches of clearance and have had no issues. The heat seems to be very effectively distributed to the sides.

The case itself gets pretty hot when used over a long period of time, you want to keep it at least 3 feet away from anything flamable. In a space 14X24 we use one to keep the building around 60 degrees inside. The building is well isulated and this heater keeps it nice and warm even when it is really cold outside. Its pretty efficent and reliable once you get the thermostat set.

sends heat out from the front and also radiates from the top . can place the back close to.wall keep.away from curtains or drapes . do not place furniture close to front . rember to crack a window slightly when burning.for long periods

The shade keeps it form. It fits the window perfectly and most definitely keeps out the heat.

Maybe a little, but probably not much. You'll experience a lot of heat loss where the water isn't covered. I actually wish I had purchased a bigger one because of this.

Supposedly 500. However, since the insulation isn't that great and the convection draws in air from the outside room I'd say that the max temp realistically is about 450, maybe a bit less if the room is chilly.

Mine takes 24 hours to heat ---this time of year we keep cover on so the heat stays in

Mine is 16 by 24, 3 windows and patio door, I use the heavy duty curtain designer ($ 25 at Walmart) style double sided material that slides between family room and kitchen. This really helps keep the heat inside this room. The heater actually displays and measures the floor temperature which is lower than your sitting temperature. When it displays 67 degrees it is really warm. I have 10 foot vaulted ceiling. The ionizer really is great also. No unusual smells either. Clean heat. For the price it is great so far. Warms the room quickly and very quiet with varying flow angle adjustment.

That''s a tough one. I use it to take the chill off my kitchen in the morning. It puts out pretty good heat. My kitchen is about 15'x15', with 10' ceiling. Every situation is different. I have a propane heater in my house, not forced air, so I just use it to supplement when and where needed. I live in a 100+ year old adobe, so my place is not typical.
