DARK OR LIGHT COLOUR CHOICES FOR METAL AWNINGS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

DARK OR LIGHT COLOURS

Contrary to the rumour mill no metal is hotter or cooler than the other, this has been professionally tested and proven.  All metal awnings will give the same amount of protection against the hot summer sun.  But Crawley Blinds Original TROPICOOL Colorbond Awnings have been tested in a laboratory, and proved to be the strongest of all the metal awnings on the market.

The choice of colour on the other hand can make a difference to heat distribution. Choose a light colour as the main colour of a metal awning this will always deflect heat away from the awning.  If you choose a dark colour as the main colour of a metal awning this will draw the heat.  This theory can be tested on a hot summers day by walking on the black section of a road which will burn your feet.  Then walk on the white lines on the road and you can stand comfortably in one place.  Our TROPICOOL Colorbond Awnings are manufactured with a white colour underneath the awning to promote coolness.
