greality to the inhabitants of the world, it is natural to come across various.
Other follow up ill effects or possible adverse impacts on mankind Though large
scale effects of universal magnitude are impossible to be arrested, some
harmful influences could be warded off by following certain other
scientifically proved measures or precautions.
Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun is one such harmfulemanation. Human skin has to be guarded against it. Many recommended creams
promise to protect the skin from the harsh rays of the Sun. Our Homes also do

consciousness is felt in modem homes that are generally designed featuring
large expanses of windows and glass doors to let in more natural light.
Just as sunscreen lotions protect the skin, the sunscreens
work for the window coverings. The right window covering can block up to 99 per
cent of ultraviolet rays. They are available in a wide range of colours and
fabrics. For every decorating style we choose, there are countless options
available, that it is no less an arduous task than choosing the right sunscreen
with the right SPF to suit the skin type. The higher a products ultraviolet
blockage rating, the better a home’s interior is protected from ultraviolet

Sunscreen shades generally come in two layers with tiltedvanes in between. The degree to which vanes are tilted determines the amount of
light that seeps in. While a slight tilt offers a softened view of the outside,

Sunscreen shades are perfect window treatment options when a
room has too much exposure to the sun’s rays. Numbers of home owners are

When sunscreens are used for our windows it effects a reduction in cost of air
conditioning. The reason is that sunscreens are believed to reflect up to 70
per cent of the sun’s rays during summer, keeping the inside of our homes
naturally cool. They also reduce the glare of the Sun. Sunscreens are useful
not only in summer but also during winter. For they are helpful in retaining
almost 25 per cent of the inside heat in winter, keeping us warm to a certain
extent. They cut energy costs and increase the lifespan of furniture and
furnishings.
If persons at home want to watch a movie, the sunscreens are
most helpful in creating a suitable ambience. A few sunscreens offer complete
light blockage through the fabric making the room perfect for movie watching.
Now day’s interior designers are very much after sunscreen
shades. They are custom-made to the extent of matching the upholstery to the

Recently Chennai Corporation officials sealed three
buildings in and around choolai, which deviated from their approved planning
permission, as part of the fresh drive against unauthorized buildings in the
city.
The officials who were engaged in the drive told that a
commercial building on Hunters Road was locked and sealed by the civic body for
it covered set back areas on stilt, first and second floors. Another reason is
the unauthorized construction of third and fourth floors, while permission was
obtained only for ground plus two floors.
The Chennai Corporation has begun the new drive on
unauthorized buildings under the Section 56(2A) of Town and Country Planning
Act 1971, which gives sufficient power to the civic body to lock and seal any
building that has deviated from its original and approved building permission,
after serving proper notice
In a poster placed on the walls of the sealed buildings, the
civic body has warned that neither the owner nor developer or occupier have any
right to use the sealed premises in any manner until the building is restored
as per planning permission or removal of unauthorized portions or till the
order is revoked. If there is any tampering with the seal fixed by the civic
body is found it will invite a criminal prosecution on the owner or developer or
occupier, the poster warned.
The drive is expected to continue for a few more weeks
across the city as the civic body has come under severe criticism at the recent
meeting of the Madras High Court constituted Monitoring Committee on
unauthorized buildings in the city for making no effort to stop such constructions.
