More Homeowners Are Creating Shade Before Summer Reaches Its Peak

With August bringing some of the highest temperatures of the year, many residents are looking for practical ways to enjoy their terraces without retreating indoors.

August is often the month when outdoor living in Lanzarote changes its routine. Breakfast on the terrace becomes an early morning affair, while afternoons are spent searching for the nearest patch of shade. Yet with the right protection from the sun, outdoor spaces can remain comfortable for much longer.

Retractable arm awnings have become an increasingly popular way to make terraces, patios and garden seating areas more usable throughout the hottest weeks of the year. Unlike permanent structures, they can be extended when shade is needed and retracted again when homeowners want to enjoy the evening sky or cooler weather.

The flexibility is particularly useful in Lanzarote, where conditions can change throughout the day. A shaded terrace can feel significantly more comfortable for reading, dining or simply relaxing, while still allowing plenty of fresh air to circulate.

Sol Y Sombra, a family-run business with more than 20 years of experience, manufactures its made-to-measure exterior sun blinds using quality materials produced in Spain by trusted national and international companies. Its retractable arm awnings are available with arm projections from 1.5 to 3 metres and can be operated manually with a side winder or by motor using a remote control or wall switch.

Because every property is different, having an awning measured and installed professionally helps ensure it complements the available space and provides the level of shade required.

For anyone considering improvements before the hottest part of summer comes to an end, visiting a showroom can also provide inspiration. Sol Y Sombra welcomes customers to its showroom in Tías, opposite Hiperdino Supermarket, where visitors can browse catalogues, colour options and ideas for homes and businesses.
