Installing awnings of quality in our houses helps to fight the heat and to save energy and money! Take Arquati Usa's word for it, leader in the production of retractable awnings.

Carrollton, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/02/2009 -- Another hot and sunny summer is about to begin and searching a bit of relief seems to be a priority to have the survival guaranteed. Air conditioners and fans become the protagonists of the houses from Miami to Seattle and everyone, without exception, see their fridges like an oasis mirage to satisfy the thirst caused by the scorching heat.

In this typical picture of the American summer white goods play a leading role… but how expensive can they be? Very much, in terms of energy, and, consequently, of money.

Managing and reducing the heat in a house can be really expensive: then, why not stopping it before it enters? The heat of the sun is in fact responsible for the about 90% of the internal temperature of a building and this is why, during the summer, it is necessary to adopt every possible precaution to "keep it out".

Installing awnings can reduce the accumulation of heat for the 55-65% in the windows facing south and the 72-77% for those facing west. As far as the internal temperature is concerned, it can be diminished of about 5°-8° C, leading, for example, the external 34° C of a hot afternoon of July to the internal 26°-29° C. Clearly these statistics also depend on other elements like the position of the house, the number of windows, the type of glass, but certainly a barrier of awnings will help to save in terms of power consumption. A good system of awnings for instance, can reduce work of the air conditioner of the 20-25%, the percentage which fights against the direct light of the sun.

Arquati Usa awnings are an effective, economic and lasting solution for this. Manufactured with synthetic textiles, also water-repellent and aesthetically pleasant, can stand the force of the sun and the inclemency of the weather. Easy to install and especially to use, Arquati Usa awnings will give you the chance to enjoy your patios and gardens even during the scorching heat of August, or during a sudden cool summer rain.

To know the entire range of products signed Arquati Usa, including roller blinds, solar shades, patio covers, canopy and a further line of products dedicated to the wooden picture frame moulding, please visit the website http://www.arquatiusa.com.
