Shading to make your home more comfortable and save energy
Solar shading has a positive impact on buildings that we live, work and socialise in.
During an era of high energy costs, a warming climate and increasing emphasis on sustainability, dynamic shading offers multiple performance benefits as well as supporting people’s health and wellbeing.
Beat the heat with shading
Shading helps regulate the amount of heat from the sun entering the home. It goes hand-in-hand with ventilation strategies to help keep indoor temperatures cool and comfortable.
Shading fitted on the outside of the building is the most effective, while shading fitted on the inside, manufactured with reflective coatings, also makes a significant difference.
Beat the cold with shading
A total of 18% of heat loss in homes occurs through windows. Blinds and shutters are a proven way to help stay warmer.
Rising energy costs have made energy efficiency a top priority for everyone so shading should be considered like other home energy efficiency measures.
Control light with shading
The position and strength of the sun in the sky is always changing. Whether you are watching TV, working from home or enjoying a meal, shading can help control too much exterior light.
It allows daylight levels to be maintained within comfortable limits, avoiding discomfort from glare and reflections which can often cause eye strain and headaches.
