East or West, Shade it Best

As a homeowner, you want to be able to enjoy your outdoor space without having to worry about the harsh sun beating down on you. Unfortunately, if you have an east or west-facing house, you may experience extended sun exposure that can make it difficult to fully utilize your backyard.

Cons of East or West-Facing House

According to Matthew Lea of ArchitectTwoCents.com, there are certain disadvantages when you live in the Northern Hemisphere and your house is facing the east or the west side:

  • Windows of east-facing homes are prone to sunlight glare
  • The morning sun can be extremely harsh on the front yard of east-facing homes
  • These households often spend more on cooling systems due to prolonged sun exposure

Easy Solution for East or West-Facing House

The best way to address your problem with sun exposure is to invest in awnings, sun screens, or patio shades. These products can provide much-needed shade and protection from the sun’s harmful rays. Awnings can be mounted on the exterior of your home and extended or retracted as needed, while sun screens and patio shades can be attached to your window and patio.

Awnings

Awnings are a popular choice for east or west-facing houses because they provide a more permanent solution to sun protection. They are available in a variety of sizes and styles to match the aesthetic of your home.

All Pro Shade awnings even have features like UV protection and waterproof materials, making them a practical and durable choice. The motorized awnings also come with LED lights for an added feature.

Sun Screens

Sun screens can be mounted on windows or doors to block out the sun’s rays in your east or west-facing house.

Apart from providing you with better sun protection, it also gives you an added sense of privacy inside your home since it obstructs the view from the outside.

SRP Shade Screen Rebate Program – Contractor

SRP is offering customers a rebate of $0.80 per square foot on professionally installed shade screens to keep their homes cooler during Phoenix’s summer months.

Patio Shades

Patio shades are a great choice for homeowners looking for a high-quality and durable shading option for their outdoor space. You also have the option to mount the shades on a sealed track system to keep out bugs, dust, dirt, and other debris. This helps to ensure that the shades operate smoothly and consistently, even in harsh weather conditions.

In addition to providing shade, these products can also help reduce energy costs by blocking out the sun’s heat. This can help keep your home cooler during the summer months, which can lead to lower air conditioning bills.
