Eco friendly Folding Arm Awnings from Sydney Sunscreens

Creating a comfortable environment is not the only reason to consider adding a retractable awning to compliment your home. Controlling the glare and temperature with an external folding arm awning also insulates against unwanted heat retention in summer. Over 75% of heat is trapped through windows resulting in higher cooling bills making folding arm awnings an energy efficient alternative.

As summer rolls around and the temperature intensifies, heat entering your home through the window is trapped within the walls warming up a room considerably. By lowering the heat gain at the point of entry the less heat is transmitted into the room the lower the air-conditioning bills and discomfort.

Personal discomfort and energy are not the only things saved. Direct sunlight also adds to wear and tear as the heat and glare slowly erode to fade your furniture. By obstructing direct sunlight with the right window sunscreen you can increase the life span of your belongings by years.
