During the winter season, it is very easy for all of us to stay indoors, hibernating until the sun comes out again. What if we told you that there are solutions which allow you to enjoy the outdoor air and stay warm all at the same time, even in the depths of the winter months?
There are so many important benefits to gain from being outdoors namely the fact that it helps you to de-stress, enables you to breathe in the fresh air and allows you to appreciate the stunning nature and scenery that there is to offer.
That’s why our team have created specialist shading products which can be used in wind, snow, sun, or rain, so you don’t have to stay locked up all winter long. Have a read of our top tips to stay warm this winter with the help of Designer Shade Solution’s innovative products.
Retractable roof pergolas
Firstly, one of our best and most popular solutions to keep you warm this winter is our retractable roof pergolas. These structures are not just perfect for use during the winter months, but they can be advantageous all year round as well!
We have a wide selection of retractable roof pergolas including retractable and tilting louvre roofs, retractable fabric roofs, retractable glass roofs and much more. When the weather is snowy, grey, cold, and miserable, you can close this retractable roof, allowing you to sit under it without the weather interfering. Then, in the summer, open the roof up to enjoy the sunshine.
There are even additional ways that you can customise your retractable roof pergolas such as integrating vertical glass systems and heating to further increase this feeling of warmth and comfort.
Our vertical glass systems, including the standard guillotine glass and the retractable glass windows and doors, help to create an outdoor room which truly eliminates the interference of cold weather. Similarly, the heating systems add a luxurious feel to your retractable roof, making you feel like you are in the warm indoors, whilst still benefiting from the views of the outdoors.
External blinds and awnings
Another product which will help to keep you warm this winter is external screen blinds and retractable fabric awnings, mainly our conservatory awnings. Both systems help to trap heat into your property, keeping you warm indoors. With the current rise in energy prices, the last thing you want is for your expensive heating to be escaping through windows and doors. Install some of our outdoor blinds and keep your home feeling toasty.
We have many different types of external blinds like our basic façade roller blinds and our cassette external blinds with guide cables, helping to uplift any property. The collection of conservatory awnings like the conservatory zip awnings and the conservatory zip awnings with posts also help to store heat in your conservatory, which can often turn cold and uninviting at this time of year. Why not pair these products with a retractable roof pergola so that you can stay warm and relaxed both indoors and outdoors this winter?
External heating systems
Our final tip to stay warm this winter, with the help of Designer Shade Solutions, is by using outdoor heating systems. You can use these heaters for commercial patio heating or simply to uplift your residential property, ensuring that guests remain warm and comfortable even on the coldest of winter nights.
We have an impressive range of outdoor heaters, ideal for every property and location. These include our platinum gas heaters, tungsten gas heaters and freestanding heaters, to name a few. Thankfully, our heaters don’t just offer a practical solution to outdoor dining and comfort, but they also integrate an elegant and aesthetically appealing element into your external space too.
You don’t have to stay inside this winter and miss out on the benefits of the fresh air! With a little help from Designer Shade Solutions, you can create the perfect outdoor retreat, getting maximum use from your outdoor space all year round.
