5 Incredible Benefits of Aluminium Window Hoods
If you want to upgrade the appearance, value and energy efficiency of your home or business, window hoods are your answer.
Window hoods not only reduce energy costs but also enhance the appearance of your property. They’re a low-effort, high-value solution that returns your investment within a few years.
In this article, I'll discuss some of the biggest advantages of installing Clik’n’Fit Louvre and Clik’n’Fit Slat Awnings to explain why they’re one of the best energy-saving additions to your property.
Let's dive right in!
1. Block UV Damage
The UV rays from the sun can cause significant damage to furniture, walls, rugs, and artwork. Intense heat can result in permanent discolouration, which can prematurely age and fade the colour of your indoor items.
This is where window hoods come in. When placed strategically, window hoods can help shade your home from the unforgiving UV rays and save your property from damage.
2. Modern Aesthetic
Window hoods are a great way to improve the appearance of your home or business while making it more energy-efficient. They make a place appear more modern and elegant. Plus, they often come in various colour options and designs!
The Clik’n’Fit Window Awnings are available in Black, Pearl White, Woodland Grey, Classic Cream, and Precious Silver among others. Custom colours and sizes are also available, so you get creative with your designs. Nothing is off-limits!
3. Long-Lasting Protection
Unlike fabric awnings, aluminium window awnings like the Clik’n’Fit Window Awnings stand the test of time, making them a great investment in your home.
The Clik’n’Fit Louvre, for example, is made from durable 6060 T5 Aluminium with a thermoset powder coating. This makes it weather-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and flame-resistant. Since it's made of aluminium, you won't have to worry about wood rot or insects.
Moreover, it's tested for an N3 wind load rating, so it can easily resist strong winds and harsh environmental conditions.
4. High Reflectivity Rate
Window Hoods with aluminium frames have high reflectivity ratings. This means that rather than absorbing the heat from the sun, it bounces it back into the atmosphere.
Reflective surfaces keep buildings and homes cool during warm weather conditions, reducing the cooling load and saving energy. With them installed, you'll reduce your home's solar heat gain by at least 65%. This is extremely beneficial during summer seasons when the sun is particularly unforgiving.
5. Energy Efficiency
Aluminium window hoods are much more energy-efficient than vinyl or wood window hoods. Vinyl and wood window hoods exhibit low thermal conductivity because they absorb heat rather than bounce it off their surface.
With proper maintenance, aluminium hoods can last up to 20 years. This makes them the ultimate solution to improving internal conditions and creating a healthier and safer work environment.
Conclusion
Aluminium window hoods can significantly reduce your utility bills due to their energy-saving properties. Like many products ESH supplies, they play a role in building a sustainable house.
Clik'n'Fit Window Awnings reduce solar heat gain by up to 65%, so you won't have to worry about your room being too hot in the summer.
Plus, they're durable, weather-resistant, and incredibly low-maintenance. And since they're energy-efficient, they're an excellent way to save on your energy expenditures.
