Top Tips from Solar-Shield Exterior Shading

  1. Check the orientation of your extension, plan for shading early and speak to an expert about the options available.

  2. If designing a new build, we recommend you design in recessed pockets to accommodate any shading product so that they disappear from view when not in use. Get power installed into these pockets.

  3. When used externally, darker colours are more effective at reducing heat-gain and give better view-through.
