Which is the Better Fit for Your Car: Car Canopy or Car Sunshade Jumbo?

Keeping cars safe from weather conditions and reckless human acts is a perennial problem for people with cars, but no garages.  Car exteriors and interiors can only withstand so much heat and rain.  Car interior temperatures can rise as fast as 10o C in one hour when left under the blistering heat of the sun.  One of the most common suggestions for this dilemma is the purchase of a car canopy.  A car canopy works as a makeshift roof over your car as well as a tent for outdoor parties.  However, other than the cost related to it, it also takes time to set-up and cannot easily be brought along on the road.

If you're looking for a cost-efficient and convenient solution to keeping your car interior cool, then the car sunshade jumbo can be the best fit for you.  Made from high quality, reflective polyester, it deflects harmful UV rays to ensure that it doesn't penetrate the glass of your windshield and stay inside your car.  It is often designed in an accordion-like fashion to make it easy to stretch and cover the full width of your windshield.  Unlike the car canopy, it can be folded neatly and stored under the car seat when not in use.

Jumbo car sunshades are easily attached to windshields.  The whole thing can be set-up in just seconds and can protect your car wherever you may have it parked.  The added bonus of having a jumbo car sunshade instead of a car canopy is that it obscures outsiders' views' of the inside of your car, keeping it private and safe from prying eyes.

All In A Caddy's Work

Thinking of what to do with your bathroom that's littered with used clothes, soaps and shampoos, and your favorite magazines?  I'm sure you're wondering how it got into this predicament when it used to be your favorite refuge after a long day's work and only a leisurely power can take the stress away.  Well, you're probably missing a few bathroom cabinets that should have been in place long ago.  But wait--there's literally not even enough space for that.  Well, there are more ways than one to keep your bathroom organized.  Take the shower caddy for example.

Shower caddies are optimal solutions for small shower or bathroom spaces.  It comes in different designs, layers, shapes, and colors depending on how you want to complement your bathroom design.  Steel shower caddies are often propped on a tension pole that can stand outside your shower door.  You also have the option of going for caddies with movable layers so you can easily reach out for your bath essentials.


Mesh shower caddies however, is the most handy type of shower caddy in the market.  Mesh is a breathable fabric that allows water to seep through, allowing it to dry quickly despite frequent exposure.  It has spacious compartments to hold your essentials in place.  The mesh caddies with sturdy, double woven handles are also the most viable for hanging over door knobs or shower heads so you don't need to reach outside the shower.  Unlike bathroom cabinets, mesh caddies can be brought along with you to the gym or the dorm or when travelling so you'll never have to lose your essentials again.

Solar Generators and Power Inverters: Cost and Efficiency

The leaps and bounds in the development of technology have brought about great changes that, when used wisely, could probably change how the world will look centuries from now.  People are starting to realize how human activities are gravely affecting the environment and steps have been taken to correct it.  One of the innovations with this objective is the solar generator.  Solar generators are sources of power from a renewable source, the sun.  It is one with other products like power inverters that look into recycling energy from a certain source to produce power.

Solar generators are connected to solar panels with photovoltaic cells that harness the sun's energy and store it in deep cell batteries.  The solar panels must be set in a strategic place where it can absorb a sufficient amount of sunlight for storage.  The batteries are connected to power inverters that convert the DC power to AC power required by common household appliances and electronic gadgets. 


Power inverter for cars are a similar form of backup power supply wherein it taps into a DC battery like a vehicle battery, to produce electricity.  It inverts the one-way direction of the current to an alternating one to produce a higher voltage of power.  This allows it to run two or more devices at a given time.  The purchase of the power inverter is relatively lower to the solar generator and requires smaller space for storage or set-up.  It is also mobile because of its size, unlike the latter which requires a more permanent space for maximum utility.

Earth-Friendly, Cost-Efficient Uninterruptible Power Supply

If you're like most people who find 24 hours just too short for a day's work, then you've probably thought, not once, maybe twice, about looking for an uninterruptible power supply to keep on standby at home or in your car.  It is not uncommon nowadays for people to have home offices or even portable ones in their car to pass time while in heavy traffic or get some work done while out of town.  A UPS is not limited to the ones we install on our desktop computers, which gives us time to save our work when there's a power outage.  Power inverters are the up and coming UPS system.

Power inverters provide backup AC power that can run two or more household appliances at a time.  It does so while being connected to a DC power source like a vehicle battery.  Every purchase of a power inverter comes with connector cables that can be connected to the car's cigarette lighter for light electrical load requirements, or directly to the car battery for heavy requirements over a long period of time.  This handy uninterruptible power supply is a small box that can easily fit under the car seat or some nook or cranny in your home.


The great thing about power inverters is that it comes with an audio alarm for low battery levels and an automatic shutdown function in cases of overheating.  This eliminates the worry of running your battery for dead.  Another plus point of the power inverter which makes it a viable option for uninterruptible power supply is its low purchase and maintenance costs compared to its gas-fueled counterparts.

The Price of Heat Deflection and Car Protection

It's summertime and you've probably been scouring high and low for the perfect solution to the blistering heat outside.  I'm sure you've got your bags packed for a road trip with friends, out to catch some waves and some sun, but not quite sure if you're ready to be driving when the temperature outside is off the charts.  This goes without saying that you're worried about your car too, and the effects that heat can have on it.  Well the two most common solutions to keeping your car interior temperature at a comfortable level is windshield tinting and purchasing car sunshades.

Windshield tinting is the process of permanently installing a thin film over your car window to protect it from heat and glare.  The film varies in darkness and depending on your preference and state regulations, it can go as light or as dark as you want.  Windshield tinting prices can range from $50 to $500.  This includes custom fitting, cutting, and installation.  The thing with windshield tints however, is that it can cause some visibility problems at night when you're not used to it.


Car sunshades on the other hand, are temporary protection from the heat and glare.  It is often made of high quality mesh fabric to allow drivers maximum visibility to the outside while blocking out 99.9% of harmful UV rays.  One of the great things about it is that it is attached to windows with suction cups so it's easy to adjust.  Compared to windshield tinting prices, purchasing car sunshades can cost you less than $20 without sacrificing exceptional heat deflection.

Side, Rear, Windshield Car Covers for Your Vehicle

Dressing up your car is just as exciting as looking through your wardrobe for what you still can wear for the coming season.  You'll find yourself sorting through what you have, thinking about what the weather will be like and looking for the most suitable clothes, or in the case of your car, covers.  Car covers protect your car from various external elements like heat and rain and from unpleasant human acts like scratches or bumps. Especially if you don't have a garage for your car, car sunshades can be your handy solution to these dilemmas.

Car sunshades are car covers for your windows to keep them from absorbing heat and trapping them inside your car.  Trapped heat accounts for the increase in temperature in as fast as 10 degrees every hour.  You can only imagine how bad this is, especially if you're living in a sunny state.  Car sunshades are often made of mesh fabric for rear and side windows and reflective polyester for windshields.  Mesh sunshades provide drivers with maximum visibility to the outside while keeping away up to 99.9% of the heat.

One good thing to consider about car sunshades is that it should be easy to fold when not in use and must come in a compact storage like a pouch.  There are windshield sunshades that are large in size to cover the full expanse of the glass without being bulky or hard to store.  These car covers will cost you less than $20, but will ensure that you and your loved ones are fully protected on the road.

Car Sunshades as Perfect Car Accessories to Combat Heat

Choosing the perfect car accessories takes as much decision as choosing the car itself.  You'll have to take into account your daily activities and the biggest challenges you encounter on the road.  It could be tough parking spaces, security, or weather conditions among the many others.  Being able to pinpoint exactly what your biggest concern is will help you make better, more cost-efficient decisions.  Weather is one of the most common challenges for drivers.  Too much rain or too much heat can be great hazards on the road.  To protect yourself and your passengers from too much heat, car sunshades are the way to go.

The glass of car windows is a magnifier of heat.  It absorbs direct sunlight and traps it inside cars, thus increasing the temperature.  This is the primary reason why you feel a blast of hot air when you open your car door after parking out in the sun for a while.  You must have a car accessory to protect your car in these situations.  Carsunshades are often made of mesh fabric on a cling wire frame, stuck to windows with the use of suction cups, that make perfect window covers.s  It can be used for both rear and side windows to ensure maximum protection for your car.

Car sunshades come in different materials.  Some can be made of cloth while another made of polyester or nylon.  Mesh sunshades however, are most recommended for use as they provide visibility to the outside.  This is important to ensure safe driving.  Another consideration for the purchase of car sunshades is storage.  Check to see how hard or how easy it can be kept away when not in use so you won't have a problem storing it away in your car.
