Information about UV and Heat For Your Blinds and Awnings
By installing canvas awnings on your home, you will keep your energy costs down by blocking the sun's heat in the warmer months. Awnings can reduce heat gain by 55 to 65 percent on southern windows and 72 to 77 percent on western windows.
Since you won't have to close the blinds or drapes, you can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors year round.
Using Sunbrella fabric for patio covers or awnings does more than protect you from the elements. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends Sunbrella as an aid in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin.
All Sunbrella fabrics provide unequaled protection against harmful UV Rays.
In fact, dark fabric colors block up to 98% of UVA and UVB rays.
