Sun Shade Awnings

Shading devices on the external side of the window include shutters, awnings, canopies, blinds, and projecting horizontal and vertical fins. Correctly designed, these sun controls are the most effective of all for reducing solar radiation since the absorbed heat is dissipated externally.Awnings can be made from acrylic or synthetic materials, or natural materials can be coated with acrylic or other synthetics to increase the lifespan and reduce maintenance needs. Synthetic and acrylic awnings tend to stand up to sun damage better than canvas awnings and are less susceptible to mold and decay.
