Sun protection

Sun protection

The best sun protection there is is shade. Sun protection is accomplished primarily with the help of external barriers, like retractable awnings. They protect the house and outdoor space most effectively against the sun and heating. Their protection to the broad spectrum of light wavelengths will help with sun sensitive skin.

A perfect awning is the best sunscreen. Most people won't need to apply sunscreen with a high spf filter while being under their shade. Sun protection products include external roller blinds and screen roller blinds, facade blinds, as well as awnings and pergolas. Why do these types of covers effectively protect the house from the sun, and thus from unpleasantly high temperatures? This is due to their specificity and installation on the outside of the window.

Thanks to such assembly, the sun's rays do not come into contact with the glass, and it is this that is most responsible for excessive heating of the interior. If the cover is on the outside of the window, it is a barrier to the sun, leaving the glass cool. That is why these types of roller blinds or blinds are sometimes called thermal screens.

External awnings and roller shutters are a perfect solution for people who want to protect their apartment or house from the sun, but at the same time want to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the building. Outdoor awnings come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors to suit any type of building and architecture. They can be mounted on walls or in special cassettes, thanks to which they are easy to use and provide protection from the sun throughout the day.

Depending on what the blue awnings are intended for, people think they will provide complete protection from the rain. This is not the right approach, terrace awnings are not a typical waterproof product, even waterproof fabrics will not protect against heavy rain.

Blinds are another way to keep out the strong sun. Internal blinds will help anyone who wants to fully enjoy individual blinds. External roller shutters, on the other hand, are effective protection against wind and sun because they block UV rays from entering the building, ensuring protection against heating and energy loss. In addition, they protect against noise and have reasonable prices.

Terrace awning

Outdoor awnings and roller shutters not only provide protection from the sun, but also help to reduce energy costs. Installing external awnings or roller blinds can reduce the energy consumption needed for air conditioning in the summer. It is also worth paying attention to the material from which awnings and roller blinds are made, which have a direct impact on their insulating properties and effectiveness in protecting against the sun.

Let's not forget that sun protection is also important for health. UV radiation can lead to skin burns, skin cancer and even eye damage.
