How shade structures can transform your home

August 23rd, 2014 · Published to Shade Solutions

Shade structures are simply a must-have product for the home especially in tropical countries like here in Australia. Although we can’t get enough of summer, the summer months can sometimes be unbearable that we’re forced to stay indoors longer than we’d like. However, there are some great solutions available to eradicate this problem and one of the most cost-effective is shade structures. By taking advantage of shade structures, you can make a comfortable outdoor living space while reducing the heat produced by the sun.

Global Shade has been manufacturing top-quality shade structures specialising in shade sails, canopies, tension membranes, awnings, cantilever umbrellas, and PVC blinds. These affordable shade solutions are exactly what you need to transform a dull backyard into an inviting outdoor living space where you can have al fresco dining with your family or entertain guests without worrying about the weather.

Different shade structures have different features that allow them to transform your home. Below are some of the benefits of having a shade structure for your home:

  • A well design shade structure can add extra room to your home. PVC blinds for example, can be used to enclose large spaces that you can use as a dirty kitchen or extra room for your children. This adds both financial and practical value to your house and it could become a major selling point if you’re thinking about putting your home in the market. If you have PVC blinds enclosing your deck or verandah, the buyers will automatically see your property as a relaxing haven where they can entertain guests and have an extra living space to sit and relax whilst having a coffee or reading a book.
  • Excellent protection against harmful UV rays. If a large portion of your house is facing the afternoon sun, you run the risk of suffering from the sun’s harmful UV rays. If you’re a parent to small children, you surely want to give them the best protection. Getting awnings installed can do the trick. This shade solution will not only offer that much-needed protection for all the people inside your home but will also protect your belongings below the shade shelter.
  • Make your house more eco-friendly. What do you usually do during hot summer months? I bet you use your air conditioner daily for more than just a couple of hours, right? Well, this isn’t just bad for the environment but equally damaging to your pocket as well. Think about how much you could save on your electricity bill? By using shade structures like awnings or shade sails, you can instantly lower down the temperature inside your house, along with the total on your electricity bills.
