West-facing rooms can become uncomfortable in the afternoon because heat and glare arrive at the same time people want to use the room. The answer is not always to make the room dark.
01
Use sunscreen fabric when daylight still matters
Sunscreen roller blinds can reduce glare while keeping the room connected to the outside. They are useful for living rooms, dining rooms and home offices affected by afternoon sun.
02
Use blockout when sleep or screen use matters
Bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms may need blockout blinds, curtains, dual rollers or roller shutters. Side gaps and fabric opacity should be discussed before ordering.
03
Use external shade when the glass is the problem
Awnings, outdoor blinds and roller shutters can reduce sun before it reaches the glass. This can be more effective than adding only an indoor product to a hot window.
