Florida residents casually endure hot and humid outdoor temperatures year-round; however, it is not something they care to tolerate inside of their comfortable homes. Awnings are one of many convenient modifications that can help Florida homeowners cool and improve the overall energy flow of their home. Here are some different ways awnings keep heat out to provide a cooler and more desirable temperature inside your house.

How Awnings Keep Heat Out

Awnings are exterior wall-mounted sun barriers designed with thick and durable fabric covers that shield your outdoor and indoor spaces from direct sunlight, keeping heat out. There are many different types of awnings, but they each work to maintain a nice, cool temperature in your home.

Affordable, durable, and long-lasting awnings can:

• Provide shade for your outdoor area
• Keep sunlight and heat out of your home
• Reflect heat due to its lightweight materials
• Be easy to maintain
• Sustain high temperatures
• Help to reduce your monthly cooling costs

The Benefits of a Properly Installed Awning

When choosing an awning, it’s important to consider the size and location of your windows to ensure you get an awning that will sufficiently reduce the amount of heat and sun that can stay trapped inside near high areas of sun exposure. It’s also important to know that professionally-installed awnings keep heat out better than blinds, curtains, canopies, or any other shading mechanism. Furthermore, awnings come in many different styles and a variety of different colors to match your home’s unique aesthetic.
