More »A vertical window awning is an external cover made from special fabric (sometimes called a thermal shield). First of all, it's intended to protect from excessive sunlight, and therefore overheating of rooms. The awnings own these qualities to the fabric that they are made of. It's manufactured from fibre glass, coated with PCV. The fabric is arranged as a mesh of varied thickness that the transparency depends on.
Remaining elements can be made of aluminium alloys, galvanized steel or plastics. They are operated by hand or electrically.
So the awnings are a better choice for those who spend a lot of time at home (working or raising kids), or in companies, offices, at a doctor's, etc. - meaning everywhere you spend a lot of time during a day. Awnings offer comfortable use of natural light, at the same time reducing the ambient temperature. A blind reduces the ambient temperature but also shades the room completely
These awnings are the best match for UK weather conditions. Let's not forget that rooms get hot because of sunlight. Then, if we find out that there are less hot months during a year, it doesn't mean that there's no sunlight during the other months.
Also during winter there are come days with strong sunlight that can make it impossible to work e.g. in front of a computer. In such a situation, the awning, with its capability of letting sunlight in, will be irreplaceable. Furthermore, during autumn/winter, it will help to keep heat inside the room, bring real savings.
