Our client in Farnham experienced excessive heat in their new build, Solar-Shield stepped in with a solution. The property featured expansive glazing, flooding the home with natural light but also causing an uncomfortable rise in indoor temperatures during warm days.
The client’s top priority was to find a sustainable solution to reduce heat gain while maintaining the stunning views from their large windows. After an in-depth consultation, Solar-Shield recommended Microlouvre® screens—an innovative shading system known for reducing solar heat gain by up to 99.9%.
The installation of Microlouvre® screens not only provided exceptional heat reduction but also diffused sunlight, preventing harsh glare. Despite the effective shading, the screens allowed pure daylight to flow through the space, maintaining the homeowner’s connection to the outdoors while ensuring privacy.
With the world’s thinnest louvre system, the Microlouvre® screens integrated seamlessly into the design of the home, adding a sleek, modern aesthetic. The result was a cooler, more comfortable living environment, with the screens discreetly enhancing both the energy efficiency and visual appeal of the property.
The client was thrilled with the outcome, noting the perfect balance of temperature control, daylight, and privacy. Solar-Shield’s expertise in delivering tailored solutions ensured the new home stayed cool without compromising on style.
