As summer scorches, shady spots become prized places to sit and chill. But to thrive through summer, you need shade and sun protection – not always the same thing. Coolaroo offers both; plus, theirs are the only shade products endorsed by the Cancer Council.
Shade sails are an economical and flexible way to create shade. Use one to instantly turn a patio into a desirable place to hang or provide much needed protection – up to 95 per cent UV block – to a kids' play space.
Though easy to install, a shade sail is far from a temporary patch job; it's actually designed as a permanent solution, with a 15-year warranty to back it up.
If you already have the framework, like a pergola, it's even easier to cool things down by throwing over some shade cloth. This durable D.I.Y. solution lets heat escape and blissfully cool breezes filter through.
In summer, there's plenty of heat in the late afternoon sun. For this, there's no better solution than outdoor roller blinds.
Choose crank operation, easy release or motorised blinds, which operate with solar power, so there's no hardwiring required.
A simple market umbrella will never go out of style, or try a cantilevered version – with 360° rotation. Coolaroo's cantilevered umbrellas can be swivelled to give you constant shade as the sun moves through the sky.
All the umbrella options help protect your family's skin with UPF50+ fabric, the highest possible sun protection rating.
Take a scroll through Coolaroo's full range to shop the best shade solution for your home.
Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
When following our advice in our D.I.Y. videos, make sure you use all equipment, including PPE, safely by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check that the equipment is suitable for the task and that PPE fits properly. If you are unsure, hire an expert to do the job or talk to a Bunnings Team Member.
