Protect Your View and the Thermostat 

There’s nothing better than natural sunlight pouring into a waterfront home. But during a Coastal Virginia summer, all that glass can quietly work against you.

The same windows that showcase the view also invite in significant heat throughout the day. By mid-afternoon, living rooms that felt comfortable in the morning can suddenly feel oppressively hot and stuffy, forcing your HVAC system to work overtime just to maintain the temperature.

That’s where automated shading comes in. Instead of cooling down a warming room after-the-fact, smart shades help stop thermal gain before it enters your home. Here’s how it works.
