Global Shading Day 2024

 

The 21st March celebrates the year of the European Solar Shading Organisation’s second Global Shading day. Global shading day raises awareness organised by the European Solar Shading Organisation (ES-SO) to highlight the importance of having solar shading products.  

Shutters are an amazing way to support the Global Shading Day. In an era of high energy costs, we also need to reduce energy to save money which is where shutters come into place and play a huge part in a solution. Windows are responsible for 18% of a home’s heat loss – our shutters help to reduce that heat by up to 36% in double glazed windows that’s 18% more than the amount of heat is loss through windows. The edge to edge structure provides effective thermal insulation helping to keep your home warm.

Not only do shutters reduce heat loss by 18%, they also reduce noise traffic from the outside so that it can help keep out unwanted noise throughout your home. Shutter louvres can be adjusted to ensure that your customers can still filter the light without compromising your privacy. Shutters are a great way to combat climate change and create a more sustainable and effective environment in the future.
