Three Shading Structures To Cool And Improve Your Home – Part 1

January 8th, 2020 · Published to Domestic by Steve Lewis

Are you looking for cost-effective ways to cool you home over summer without hindering the appearance of your exterior? Well, as you may have come to realise, there are very few options that are both affordable and attractive. However, there is one solution that fits the bill and that is any shading structure made from shade cloth.

Shading structures made from shade cloth are ideal for any home, business or commercial establishment because they are easy to install, provide as much as 99% protection against Ultra Violet Radiation (UVR), look fantastic, and best of all, they are incredibly affordable. If you’re wondering how having a shade sail outside can cool the interior of a home, it works in the same manner as a window awning; install a shading structure over a large window or external sliding doors, and you will notice a dramatic increase in temperature in the adjoining room.

As one Whirlpool Enthusiast stated:

“I used 70% shade cloth as I want to use the area to grow vegetables, but even the 70% shade cloth has made a difference to the room temperature.

Prior to the shade going up, we had to keep the blinds closed in the morning, or the room would heat up and be unbearable. With the shade, we can now open the blinds and let in some natural light and still be comfortable.

90% shade cloth will obviously be even better.”

If you are looking for a similar solution, then continue reading this article as I outline three of the industries leading shade cloth fabrics for you to consider to use in a Global Shade shading structure.
