As summers get warmer in the UK, shading can help us stay cool, especially when we are sleeping at night. 🌡️ Some homes are more prone to heating-up than others, such as hi-rise flats and homes with limited ventilation. By the mid 2030s, 90% of all UK housing could be susceptible to overheating. To avoid heat gain, blinds and shutters should be kept closed when it’s hot during the daytime. Opening the shading and windows when it’s cooler outside will allow the building to ventilate.

Blinds, shutters and awnings can help control light levels, and automated shading makes it even easier by adjusting automatically. 🙌
