In the winter sun

Innovative ways to winterise your home with Suncraft shade sails.

It may be a surprise to learn that Suncraft shade sails, while vital in a Kiwi summer, are also invaluable during the colder months.

As winter settles in, bringing shorter days and lower angles of sunlight, many homeowners and commercial properties find themselves battling with the glare streaming through their windows. This issue not only affects comfort but can also lead to sun damage on indoor furnishings. The solution: adjustable sail shades. “Our sails can be fitted with a height-adjustment feature,” says Kate Grubb, co-founder of SunCraft. “The corner of the sail can be lowered as the sun lowers, helping eliminate glare.”

And sail shades offer more than just glare reduction. They also provide valuable protection for indoor furnishings against sun damage. Even during winter, the UV index can remain high in New Zealand. “That’s why our fabrics are rated to the highest Australian standards, ensuring maximum UV protection for your indoor spaces.”

Autumn and winter present the ideal opportunity to have a SunCraft sail shade installed. “The demand for outdoor shading solutions typically peaks during summer, so scheduling your installation in winter ensures you’ll be ready to enjoy your outdoor spaces when the warmer weather arrives,” says Kate.

And while you’re at it, take a look at SunCraft’s range of outdoor furniture. They’re designed to withstand the elements and are perfect for creating a welcoming outdoor environment no matter the season. The modular design allows you to personalise your space and they’re made from high-quality water-repellent fabric in a large range of colours. “They can be left outside all year round,” says Kate. “We can turn any space into a haven, any time of year.”
