1. Create a sanctuary to relax and reduce stress
In today’s hectic life, having an easy-living place to relax and unwind is essential to physical and mental health. An outdoor room brings the outside-in and provides an instantly calming zone to maximise your de-stress time, whether alone, with family, or socialising with friends.
Anxiety Australia advocates relaxation to reduce muscle tension, lower blood pressure, and heart rate and regulate stress hormones. A 2010 study conducted by Deakin University confirmed the direct impact of nature to lift our health and emotions. Just like a holiday, an outdoor room can help you feel like you are getting away from it all.
2. Extend the life of your furniture, curtains and carpet
We all know how damaging UV rays are, especially in Victoria’s southern aspect. Furniture, carpet, vinyl, wood, curtains and indoor blinds all suffer the impact of daily UV rays and over time will become damaged beyond repair.
Outdoor shading on your north and west facing windows and glass doors will protect your treasured reading spot easy-chair, extend the life of your flooring, and save your window fabrics.
3. Save money on power bills
Did you know that outdoor shading can save you up to 25% on electricity and air-conditioning costs?
Most people know that closing an inside curtain keeps a room cooler, but it makes sense to stop the heat before it gets to your exterior walls and windows, therefore keeping your entire home cooler for longer.
Shade for Life has an extensive range of beautiful outdoor window, pergola, deck, verandah and exterior skylight shading solutions at Melbourne’s most attractive prices.
Plus, you can tell all your greenie friends how you are cleverly reducing your carbon footprint while you look stylish and save money!
4. Privacy matters
Let’s face facts, privacy is an increasingly pressing concern for home and business owners. We need to take responsibility for protecting our family and our customers from prying eyes, even when we are inside.
The correct type of outdoor shading can protect the windows and glass doors of new homes built close together, and lifestyle homes that can be easily seen from the road or across the water. Outdoor areas that can be seen by neighbours benefit from the layer of security provided by overhead outdoor shading. Retractable pergola shading can also reduce exposure and noise for homes and businesses built underneath aeroplane routes.
5. Quality equals peace of mind
Have you ever skimped on quality for a deal that is too good to be true, only to regret it six or twelve months later? There is a reason that quality is linked to peace of mind. Quality endures and saves you the hassle of haggling with a supplier over replacement, the disappointment of poor customer service, or worse the expense of having to replace out of your own pocket.
You save from the beginning, with time and with money, when you choose quality that lasts for life.
Shade for Life never compromises on quality. We pride ourselves on supplying fabrics, housings, and components that are made to last the distance in Australian climates.
6. Look after your back
There is no point choosing a manual operating shade system if you end up at the chiropractor. Shade for Life has fully motorised window and overhead shading solutions that will save your back and your joints. You can choose a handy remote control, or we can hardwire to a wall switch, depending on the system. Shade for Life motorised window, awning, and retractable systems are a popular choice for single mums, senior citizens, savvy first-home owners, mums-to-be, and those with disabilities. As well as anyone who loves gadgets!
7. Enhance your financial future
Street appeal and outdoor living zones are a must for protecting your home’s resale value. Modern and attractive window awnings or outdoor blinds immediately add character and create a stylish first impression. A potential homebuyer is always drawn to a well-shaded, private and comfortable outdoor space.
