Longing for that summer warmth and sun to arrive?

Better start planning those outdoor awnings and sunscreens now.

Planning to have your outdoor area covered this summer? Or to protect some of your indoor rooms from the sun? Did you promise yourself it would be done last year, and it never quite happened!

Living in Auckland, it's natural to want an outdoor space where you can dine, entertain friends or just relax. At Lahood Window Furnishings we know the key to the perfect outdoor space is to create an area that is a comfortable extension of your home. A way of creating a seamless link between indoors and outdoors.

With our Covid world impacting on supply lines and production schedules, we all need to plan ahead. Lead times are stretching out so thinking about and acting on these home improvements needs to happen now if you want these in place by summer.

Outdoor shades and awnings dramatically improve the functionality of your outdoor spaces. By providing shade and shelter from rain, outdoor spaces are ready for use regardless of the weather conditions. Whether you're hosting a summer BBQ and want to avoid the sun or feel like resting with a book outside while it's drizzling, a great awning system can help you make the most of your outdoor space.

Lahood partners with the Luxaflex range of awnings and sunscreens, their design excellence and contemporary European styling is perfectly suited to protect you from the intense summer heat and harsh UV light we experience in New Zealand.

Te Ra and Nordic are great examples of folding arm awnings from the Luxaflex range. Te Ra awnings allow for maximum spans of seven metres in width and can project up to four metres out from the building. Luxaflex awnings are easily controlled and modified with remote controls so you can respond quickly to sudden changes in the weather or adjust angles and positions to suit the time of day.

And for those rooms that face North or need to be cooler in summer, sunscreens and roller blinds are so versatile at filtering the light, screening the sun or creating darkness when wanted. Luxaflex EVO sunscreens and blinds from Lahood are designed to allow air flow and light into a home through open windows while filtering out the harsh UV rays and heat. Developed to suit New Zealand's demanding weather conditions, they can be installed in a variety of ways to control temperatures inside the home during summer for maximum effect.

This is the time of year to think about awnings or screens for that summer shade. With the latest technology in shade and awning products, Lahood's experienced design consultants and installers will ensure we create the ideal bespoke design for your property.
