You’d love to be able to take advantage of your beautiful outdoor living area, but sometimes the sunlight it gets can be overwhelming. Excess sunlight can cause problems inside the house, too, as windows can sometimes make a room too hot or bright at certain parts of the day. These problems, in turn, can have a serious effect on your lifestyle and even the lifespan of your interior decor.

Accent Exterior Drop Shades, Retractable Awnings, and Stationary Awnings are an excellent solution that can lower energy costs, can pay for themselves in three to five years, increase property value, and enhance curb appeal overall. They can also provide you with the shade and privacy you need to improve your current living situation and comfortably enjoy your time indoors and outdoors again. Read on to learn more about the benefits of Accent Awning Co®’s exterior shading products like window awnings and drop shades and discover how they can change your life.

Take Better Advantage of Your Interior and Exterior Spaces

Sunlight can be a beautiful, enjoyable thing under certain circumstances—but under others, it can become uncomfortable. Excess sunlight can increase the temperature inside your home, make it hard to see, and make it uncomfortable to spend long times not only outside, but inside main areas of your home. This, in turn, means that you may be limited in when and where you invite guests to spend time.

Installing outdoor awnings or drop shades for your patio, back porch, or windows can be an excellent way to mitigate this issue. Accent Awnings and Drop Shades can block excess sunlight, allowing you to better utilize both interior and exterior spaces for family events, evening dinners, and much more.

For example, Accent Awning Co® was able to provide a perfect awning solution for a customer looking to shade an outdoor space used by her show dogs to prevent life-threatening overheating. Accent understands each customer’s unique needs and pays close attention to them when custom manufacturing shading solutions to improve lifestyle beyond providing sun protection.

Have More Control Over Your Everyday Living Situation

Everybody likes to have a certain amount of privacy—and awnings and drop shades can be a great way to enhance that as well. Your Accent shade products don’t just block sunlight; they can also keep people from looking in your windows, allowing you extra comfort and security. By getting an awning or drop shade for privacy, you can worry less.

But that’s not all awnings can do. They can help you take control of your lifestyle inside your home—in fact, awnings can not only add extra shade, but help you reduce glare in an entire room. This, in turn, can help keep the room cooler, provide a black out feel during the brightest part of the day, and on top of that, save you money on energy bills.

Lifestyle and Sunbrella Sustainability Pledge

Installing an awning can be beneficial for rain protection and UV protection, but with lifestyle improvements also comes the importance of health and wellness. In fact, the awnings provided by our company come with The Skin Cancer pledge. Essentially, any Accent Awning Co. product made with Sunbrella® fabric comes with a pledge to block a large amount of UV rays, which can drastically lower the risk of skin cancer. Choosing to work with brands who stand by sustainability and promote an environmentally cautious lifestyle can be a huge benefit for individual and collective wellness. 

Sunbrella® fabric is some of the best in the business, and because of Sunbrella®’s eco-pledge, you can be confident that you’re getting a product that is made with eco-friendly practices. Sunbrella® is committed to the environment by standing by their strong sustainability pledge:

“Sunbrella® products are rooted in sustainability throughout the manufacturing of the fiber, yarn, and fabric. Our dedication to quality ensures that you are getting a product that lasts longer and needs to be replaced less often, ultimately creating less waste. In all the markets we serve, Sunbrella products hold their color and strength, outlasting traditional fabrics.”

Sunbrella®’s sustainability pledge also includes five initiatives targeting waste, water, and energy solutions, according to their site:

• Aiming for Zero Waste in Landfills: Sunbrella® aims to minimize waste and recycle what they can; in fact, 90% of their waste has already been diverted, and they are continuously working to reduce their output.
• Wastewater Reduction: Sunbrella®’s unique method of dyeing fabrics produces significantly less wastewater than traditional methods.
• Solar Power: Sunbrella® is a part of Glen Raven, a company which owns and operates an array of solar panels in Anderson, SC and Norlina, NC, and utilizes this solar power to the benefit of others. These panels can produce enough energy to power up to 150 homes.
• Waste Reduction: Because Sunbrella® aims to create high-quality products, you won’t need to replace them as often, resulting in less waste.

Recycling: Sunbrella® began the Recycle My Sunbrella program in 2010. This allows consumers to return their Sunbrella® fabric once it can no longer be used and have the company recycle it for them. Since the program began, the company has been able to recycle nearly one million pounds of waste.
