Sun shading helps you stay cool in the summer

Hot summer days are the perfect time to enjoy the sun. But strong heat and light can be unwelcome visitors indoors as they can damage and discolour your furniture. No need to worry. With the right sun shading, you can enjoy hot summer days from the comfort of your home. Sun shading on the outside of your home keeps everything fresh indoors as it blocks out most of the light and heat. Sun shading keeps the indoor temperature comfortable and also protects your furniture and furnishings. You can even regulate the amount of light that comes inside and the temperature. Sun shading provides many benefits, and each type has its own particular features so you can enjoy the sunshine however you like. Read on to discover the various options.

Screens

Sunscreens keep your home cool in a smart and energy-efficient way. They can even reduce indoor temperatures by up to 10 degrees! Sunscreens mounted to an external wall or window are a popular choice. They are cost-effective, sleek and blend in perfectly with the outside of your home. Fitted screens are another popular option which can be installed when you replace your windows or in a new building.

At Reflek, we have screens in many different materials, colours and designs. Our sunscreens come with light or dark coloured canopies. Generally, the darker the canopy, the more effective the shading it provides and the more it reduces light intensity. With darker canopies, you can work at home or watch TV in comfort. Screens also give you greater privacy so you can relax free from outside disturbances and curious onlookers. If you’re looking for solar-powered screens, we also have these at Reflek!

Roller shutters

Hot weather is lovely, but it can sometimes get a bit too much. Roller shutters are the perfect solution for keeping your home at a comfortable and pleasant temperature during hot summer days. They also give you peace of mind as they deter potential intruders and keep noise out, so you can enjoy the silence.

Roller shutters are a sustainable solution on cold winter days. They are better at keeping heat inside, so you can enjoy a cosy and warm home. This means they can also save you a lot of money on your energy bill.

Awnings

We’ve all been there. We want to enjoy some summer sun on our patio, but we don’t want to get burnt by the sun. A sun awning protects you from strong sunlight, so the sun doesn’t spoil your fun while you’re having a cosy barbecue or a drink on your patio. It lets you create a comfortable and pleasant spot outside your house.

A sun awning also protects you from light rain and gentle gusts of wind. No need to worry about unexpected rain showers! We can install sun awnings above your patio or fit them to your house or balcony. They come in a wide range of designs from sleek and minimalist to fun styles.

Get started today! Choose comfortable summers with sun awnings from Reflek. We are a family-run business that prioritises trusted partnerships which is why we sell high-quality sun shading made by Verano.
