In outdoor spaces, a 10% increase in UV intensity can raise the perceived temperature by approximately 2°C. Shade fabrics are effective at cooling because their surface has a special coating that reflects most solar radiation, reducing heat transfer to the areas below.
Simultaneously, the high-density weave makes the fabric impermeable, allowing rainwater to slide off naturally and prevent rapid penetration. This physical sun protection method is more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient than relying on air conditioning, and is more suitable for open spaces like patios and terraces.
