For a Mount Waverley household with one uncomfortable room, the key is to inspect the affected opening. Government shading guidance notes that low-angle sun can be difficult to manage at east- and west-facing windows.
An adjustable exterior shutter is one option ShieldCo can assess against that brief. The owner should discuss how much of the opening is covered and when the shutter would need to be closed.
The rest of the room still matters. A covering should not be sold as a guarantee that air conditioning becomes unnecessary. The useful promise is a clearly specified product fitted to the agreed opening.
Three things to discuss
- Establish the window’s orientation
- Discuss the closure routine
- Consider ventilation when the room is occupied
