A homeowner in Fowey, Cornwall, recently completed a striking extension with large glazing to capture beautiful sea views. However, the extensive windows also invited significant heat, making the space uncomfortable.
Solar-Shield proposed Vertical Zip Screens as the ideal solution to address the heat gain while maintaining the integrity of the view. These custom-fitted screens blocked solar radiation, reducing the internal temperature and decreasing the need for air conditioning.
The installation process was seamless, with the screens tailored to match the dimensions and design of the extension. The durable and elegant materials not only provided effective thermal regulation but also complemented the architectural style of the property.
After installation, the extension immediately felt cooler, and the need for artificial cooling diminished, lowering energy consumption. Most importantly, the breath-taking sea views remained unobstructed, allowing the homeowner to enjoy their beautiful surroundings in complete comfort.
The client was delighted with the solution, noting the improvement in both comfort and energy efficiency. The Vertical Zip Screens perfectly met the challenge, blending form and function in this stunning Cornish home.
