Coolaroo sun shades are some of the most durable shades on the market, and have become a popular choice with many homeowners. Their unique fabric protects from harmful UV rays and the breathable material keeps the area beneath the shade cool. The range of sun canopy models by Coolaroo can be used in the garden, to cover patios or on the beach to provide shelter from the sun.
Coolaroo is an Australian company and its products are originally created for the hot Australian weather. The range of products includes beach umbrellas, small and large gazebos sun shades and window shades. The fabric used in all the products is designed specifically for outdoor use and can be used in most weather conditions, but is especially useful in sunny and hot climates. The material breaths well and allows enough cooling air through to keep the temperature under the shade pleasantly cool even during the hottest time of the day. At the same time, the fabric provides effective shelter from the sun. This combination makes Coolaroo’s shades especially suitable for back gardens and patios that get a lot of sunshine during the hottest hours of the day.
The fabric is knitted in a way that creates a durable product that is resistant to even extreme climate conditions. Because of the specific patterns used in the production of the material, it also resists the sun’s harmful UV rays and can provide up to 90% UV protection. This makes it especially useful for beach umbrellas.
The shades, gazebos and umbrellas in the Coolaroo range come with a variety of frame materials. Steel, aluminum and wooden frames are available. The company is also developing new environmentally friendly materials, and the timber used in the frames is sourced from environmentally responsible providers.
All shades and umbrellas come in a variety of colors and designs, and the material is known to be long lasting. The colors stay bright for years even when used in very sunny areas, and the frame structure resists damage and suffers very little from wear and tear.
Because the shades and gazebos can be used in most types of weather, homeowners in the US have taken interest in the company’s range of products, and the larger gazebos are also used by companies in trade shows and other public events. Although originally created for the Australian climate, the Coolaroo sun shades have become popular around the world because of their durability and their versatility.
