With strong sunshine a familiar part of life in Lanzarote, creating shade can make terraces, patios and balconies considerably more comfortable during the warmer months.
For many people living in Lanzarote, outdoor space is one of the pleasures of island life. But when the October sun is strong, a terrace or patio can quickly become too hot to enjoy during the middle of the day. For homeowners and property owners, providing effective shade can make a noticeable difference to how an outdoor area is used.
One option is a retractable arm awning, which provides a flexible way of extending an outdoor living area without permanent construction. Sol Y Sombra, the family-run blinds and awnings business in Tias, supplies made-to-measure exterior sun blinds designed around individual properties.
Retractable arm awnings are available with projections starting at 1.50 metres and extending through 2.00m, 2.50m and 3.00m options. They can be operated manually with a side winder or fitted with a motorised system controlled by remote control or a simple switch.
That flexibility can be particularly useful for holiday rental properties. An awning can provide guests with a shaded area for sitting outside, having breakfast or relaxing during the hottest part of the day, while allowing the space to remain open when shade is not required.
For residents, the same principle applies. A shaded terrace can become a more practical part of the home rather than an area that is avoided when the sun is strongest.
Sol Y Sombra has more than 20 years of experience and offers a professional service from measuring through to installation. Its awnings are manufactured in Spain by trusted national and international companies, with a range of materials and colours available.
The company’s showroom in Tias, opposite the Hiperdino supermarket, provides an opportunity to look through catalogues, compare colour options and consider different ways of improving a property’s exterior.
For anyone looking to make better use of a terrace, balcony or patio during Lanzarote’s sunnier months, a retractable awning offers a straightforward way to introduce shade while retaining the flexibility of an open outdoor space.
