How to Beat the Heat

It’s hot out there - like really hot for us “West Coasters!”

Exterior Mounted Habitat Screens

The best way to beat the heat outside, is to stop it before it gets inside! Trying to keep your house or work place cool in the summer is challenging, and the best way to do it is by installing exterior shades to reduce the solar heat that reaches your windows and heats the inside.

Talius Habitat Screens reduce solar heat gain by blocking 90% of the sun’s intense heat before it reaches the glass. On average, Habitat Screens reduce the temperature in a room by 11° C and the demand for cooling energy by 40%. Habitat screens can also be used to enclose an outdoor space and provide additional shade and heat reduction to a patio, deck or pergola.

Retractable Sun Awning

Another way to stay cool is to add more shade to your life with a retractable sun awning. Our Sunstopper Awnings use a state-of-the-art awning fabric seam joining system from Europe. The bonded seams mean stronger awnings and the harsh cold of winter will not effect the seam strength. These seams are also less visible, and because there is less thickness at the seams, the sag is greatly reduced. The heavy duty arms with stainless steel triplex chain and brass bushings at the shoulder joints make these awning durable and reliable. With two colours of frames, and hundreds of colours of marine grade fabric to choose from, there is a beautiful sun awning waiting to shade your back yard!

Aluminum Pergola

Take it to the next level with a four season outdoor room. These Aluminum Pergolas are made in Canada to withstand Canadian weather. The operable louvered roof is completely water tight when closed, sending rain and melting snow into a built in gutter system. Add retractable screen or solid walls to keep out sun, bugs, and neighbours - and keep heat in during the cold month with the addition of a heater. LED lights let you use the space for evening entertaining.
