Why
Consider Window Awnings?
Awnings
can reduce a home’s internal temperature by 8 to
15 degrees
Solar
radiation through glass is responsible for approximately
20% of the load on a residential air conditioner
On
a hot day, more energy is lost through one square
foot of glass than through an entire insulated wall
A
fabric awning reduced heat gain by 55% to 65% during
the period of the day when the sun shines directly
on southern facing windows, and 72% to 77 % for
western exposures
It is important
to select a style that will accommodate how much sun penetrates
the windows.
Choose
the type of window awning which best suites your needs,
based on which direction your windows are facing:
Southern
and Western exposure: Homes with windows
on the southern and western sides have the potential for
extreme heat gain. A great option to help block the sun
is the use of awning with sides for added protection.
Northern
and Eastern exposure: You might want less
coverage at times and a retractable window awning could
be a terrific solution.
Seasons
make a difference: In order to take advantage
of the sun’s warmth during the winter, some awnings are
designed to roll up out of the away and others can be
removed and stored away.
