Sustainable Blinds and Shading Solutions

 

In todays climate it is more important than ever to think consciously about our choices which effect the environment. At love your blinds we want to invest in our planet as best we can and are continuously focussed on finding eco-friendly solutions for window shading.

We have a range of sustainable and energy saving shading products. Check out our top 3 picks below….

1) Solar powered blinds

It’s a given that solar powered blinds are one of the best options for an environmentally friendly solution to motorised Sm.Art blinds. With solar powered blinds you can harness the sun's energy and use it to power your blind which is particularly useful for hard to reach skylight blinds.

Solar powered blinds are a great option for everyone. These energy-efficient blinds save you money long-term. Not only that, but you can enjoy a stunning view and remove glare – all really great benefits especially for a particular room that receives a lot of direct sunlight.

2) SUSTAINABLE EXTERNAL LOUVRES

Your windows need to be functional, energy efficient, and beautiful, external louvres are an excellent way to achieve this goal. External louvres will also help you maintain your privacy whilst providing the light and ventilation you need in your home.

Aluminium is a naturally occurring, recyclable and renewable resource, making external louvres the perfect choice for eco-friendly homes. Even with the use of more sustainable materials, however, the most important factor to be considered is the construction itself. External louvres are far more sustainable than internal alternatives such as full-frame blinds and shutters which allow daylight in through gaps at the edges of each louvre which can double up as a pathway for moisture to pass through. If there is a building material that is sustainable, it is without question; aluminium.

External louvres are also friendly to the energy bill. In summer the sun is high and the louvers block the sun. Even if these are (partly) open. In the winter when the sun is low, the warmth of the sun is welcome. This contributes to the heating of the room and therefore will lower energy bills.

Motorised external louvres can be used to control light and privacy levels, helping to ensure you have a more comfortable living environment throughout each day. If you choose motorised external louvres, it will be easy to keep your home cool in summer while simultaneously providing you with complete shade protection in sunnier months.
