Summer Comfort

Keep the heat out and the comfort in

Up to 87%¹ of heat is gained through windows making it uncomfortable during summer. Custom made window coverings that are properly measured and fit to a space can help reduce heat gained through windows and assist in maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature.

Australians use a significant amount of energy for heating and cooling which results in high energy bills and this can be alleviated with indoor and outdoor window covering solutions.

Plantation Shutters

Luxaflex® PolySatin® Shutters

The adjustable vanes of Luxaflex® PolySatin® Shutters are not only easy to maintain but they allow you to control solar energy entering your home and help keep you cool during summer. The shutters act as an effective barrier against heat with its unique construction helping insulate your windows.

Honeycomb Blinds

Luxaflex® Duette® Shades are the original cellular or honeycomb shades. Not only are they beautiful, but they also provide energy efficiency in both cold and warm climates and help keep your home cool in summer. 

The honeycomb construction of the Duette® Shades traps air in distinct pockets, which creates insulation that can help lower your energy consumption and energy bills.

Awnings

Awnings such as the Luxaflex® Evo MagnaTrack® can also create substantial savings on a home’s cooling bill. Considering that up to 87%2 of a home’s heat gain in summer is through the windows, external shading from Evo Awnings can reduce cooling energy costs by up to 60%²per cent. When combined with Luxaflex Spectra Screen’s ability to eliminate up to 95%3 of heat from solar radiation, the Evo MagnaTrack® Awning can bring you long term savings and help you feel comfortable all year round.
