How do homeowners provide adequate sun protection in their outdoor areas?
On average, there are 299 sunny days per year in Phoenix. Phoenix tops the list as the sunniest major city in the United States with sunny days at an average of 85.8 percent of the time. While the many days of sun is a great benefit to get out and bask in the sun by the pool, it’s important to protect yourself, your family, and friends from the damaging effects of the sun.
Awnings
An awning is a roof-like cover that extends over a space to offer shade from sun exposure, and shelter from the rain. Awnings can be installed over the windows and doors of homes and commercial buildings.
Retractable awnings allow homeowners to enjoy the benefits of extended shaded areas, while being able to retract the shade into a housing protecting it from fading or damage from the sun and wind.
Patio Shades
Exterior patio shades are drop shades that extend and retract to the floor (or any height), forming a makeshift wall of shade fabric that provides cooling and sun protection to those hanging out in the patio area. They can be manual or motorized, and function along a cable track or a sealed track system that seals out bugs and debris.
Window Sun Screens
While protecting yourself from the sun while outdoors is important, shielding your interiors from the sun, especially during the triple digit temps in the summer, also yields significant benefits. Installing window sun screens can reduce cooling costs up to 25%.
