Reducing Solar Gain in a Beautiful Barn Renovation
Reducing Solar Gain in a Beautiful Barn Renovation
When renovating their stunning countryside barn, the homeowner faced a common challenge — how to reduce solar gain in the upstairs bedroom without compromising the breathtaking rural views. The room’s large windows allowed plenty of light, but during the warmer months, they also let in unwanted heat.
To find the right balance between comfort and design, the client turned to SUNSHIELD for a bespoke shading solution that would both complement the barn’s rustic character and deliver effective sun control.
The Solution
Our team recommended the 96E Aluminium Louvre System , a sleek and versatile option that provides excellent shading performance while maintaining visual transparency. The addition of side profiles enclosing the louvres ensured a clean and refined look, even without a deep window reveal for the louvres to recess into.
The Result
The result is a stylish and functional shading system that perfectly fits the architectural style of the barn. The 96E louvres significantly reduced solar gain in the upstairs bedroom, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature throughout the day.
The customer was delighted with the outcome, commenting on how aesthetically pleasing the installation looked while preserving their countryside views — exactly what they were hoping for.
