Energy Saving Solution

Keep Your Home Cool In Summer And Warm In Winter
Direct sun on your windows is the greatest source of unwanted heat in the home. Effective external shading can solve this problem by blocking up to 90% of that heat. By shading a building and creating an effective barrier between the sun and your window, you can create a cooler home environment and save energy. Shading glass is the best way to reduce unwanted heat gain, however, permanent shading structures that are inappropriately placed and designed can block winter sun, while extensive shading in summer can reduce pleasant daylight. Adjustable shading systems can offer the best of both worlds, reducing heat build-up in summer, and enabling warm winter heat when the system is retracted.
