Awnings Promote Energy Savings According to Deans

Deans claim that external awnings and blinds minimize electrical costs and consumption.

Deans Blinds and Awnings UK LTD announces efforts to raise consumer awareness about the benefits of awnings and energy conservation. The leading distributor of awnings and blinds covers offers quality products that effectively lower usage and overall energy costs.

Excessive use of heating and cooling systems can lead to large utility bills. This waste impacts both the environment and consumers’ budgets by costing hundreds of extra Pounds each year. Deans Blinds and Awnings outdoor shading devices promote energy efficiency and increase the protection of a home or business.

Awnings are proven to decrease electrical use by making buildings more sustainable because they radiate solar energy in the summer thus reducing cooling costs.

“Educating our customers about awnings and their energy-saving capabilities is important,” says Mike Seary, the sales director of Deans Blinds and Awnings. “Most people are surprised by the amount of energy they can save. Our goal is to create quality products that conserve resources and therefore save money for our customers.”

Deans encourages home and business owners to install exterior shading devices. Retractable awnings in particular extend savings beyond the summer months. When the awning is withdrawn in the winter, solar rays penetrates windows and glass doors to warm the interior and lower heating charges.

Energy savings vary according to the structure of the building, lifestyle of the consumer, and the actual cost of power. In 2012, a study revealed that fabric awnings and external shades can reduce overall consumption by 10 percent and save up to more than a 100 British Pounds annually.

The need for awnings in the UK has risen sharply over the last decade due to limited budgets and environmental concern. This demand is expected to grow as energy costs continue to rise.

There are more benefits of installing awnings above windows and patio areas, including: added aesthetic appeal and functionality; lower prices than energy-efficient windows; reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; and their collective use prevents blackouts by placing less of a demand on the overall energy infrastructure.

Regardless of the design, awnings are smart investments that ensure consumers get the most from their energy dollar. Deans offers a complete line of exterior shading options in a variety of styles, colors and fabrics. Every project is made with the best materials and custom made to meet the needs of each customer.
