How to screen the sun, inside and out

Below we explore the sun's impact on you, your home and furnishings, what you can do about it, and how our designer Sun Screening solutions can help.

What impact does the sun have on your home?

Our sun does an excellent job of filling our homes with warm, sumptuous natural light. But with that often comes UV and heat. In small doses, these are great and can even promote improved health and wellbeing. However, get too much, and negative side effects can occur.

In summer, this is particularly relevant, with increased sun exposure making for long hot days high UV alerts. Though excellent for evening entertaining, some downsides do exist, including:

 

  • Our favourite furniture and furnishing at risk of fading
  • Our homes becoming uncomfortably warm
  • Poor sleep due to light peeking into our bedrooms, and
  • Unwanted sunburns during alfresco dining sessions

 

Fortunately, with Luxaflex®, these can all be avoided.
