A Shading Success Story in Macclesfield

Location: Macclesfield, United Kingdom

Challenge: Excessive Heat Gain and Glare from Newly Installed Glazing

Our customers, proud owners of a newly built Passive House in Macclesfield, were thrilled with their modern design and abundant glazing that allowed them to enjoy the stunning views. However, as the sun blazed, the charm of their new abode was overshadowed by the intense heat and glare pouring through their expansive windows. The couple was on the hunt for a solution that would keep their living space comfortable without compromising the aesthetic appeal of their home.

The Solution:

Turning to Solar-Shield Exterior Shading for guidance, they found the answer to their heat-related issues. Our team assessed their home's unique requirements and recommended a combination of shading solutions that perfectly balanced functionality and elegance. To combat heat gain and glare, external Venetian blinds and MicroLouvre® screens were chosen for the windows at the upper levels of the house. These options allowed the customers to control light and temperature while maintaining an unobstructed view.

In addition to the exterior shading solution, we proposed a patio awning that would not only shield their sliding patio doors from direct sunlight but also create a comfortable outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment. The awning's design seamlessly integrated with the exterior aesthetics of their home, enhancing both its visual appeal and functionality.

The Outcome

With the installation of the recommended shading solutions, our customers experienced an immediate transformation in their living environment. The Venetian blinds and MicroLouvre® screens efficiently removed heat gain and glare, enabling them to enjoy the beauty of natural light without the discomfort. The patio awning extended their usable living space outdoors, providing a shaded oasis where they could unwind and entertain friends and family.

Overall, the collaboration with Solar-Shield Exterior Shading not only resolved their issues but also added a touch of sophistication to their home's interior and exterior. Their Macclesfield abode transformed into a haven of comfort, where every corner was designed to complement their lifestyle while harmonising with the scenic surroundings.

Conclusion

This project showcases how the expertise of Solar-Shield Exterior Shading can turn challenges into opportunities for innovation and comfort. By carefully tailoring a combination of exterior shading solutions, the team successfully mitigated the heat gain issues while enhancing the overall living experience. This case illustrates that the right shading solutions can not only solve practical problems but also contribute to the aesthetics and ambiance of a home.
