Energy savings

Installing a Gibus awning also means respecting the laws on the subject of energy efficiency that set forth the use of external screening systems, in order to limit energy consumption, with savings up to 10% on heating * and electricity for air-conditioning with reductions up to 42 KWh/sq m year*.

Energy containment data that permits a building, for example your home, to move up two places on the energy classification chart.
By installing a Gibus awning you earn in terms of adding beauty and property value to your home, of liveability and energy savings, as well as benefiting the environment.

Under a Gibus awning a new comfort is born, an environment more protected from excessive heat, the damaging effects of UV rays and excessive heat dispersion in cold weather. The awning repels and absorbs a part of solar rays by filtering them, therefore it keeps the adjacent area shaded and cooler.

In the cold season, it filters the cold and contributes to reducing heat dispersion from indoors. We must not forget that the pleasure of the sun also brings the harmful effects of UV rays, which damage not only furniture and fabrics, but also your skin.
Scientific tests have proven that the fabrics of Gibus awnings are able to block, based on the colour chosen, from a minimum of 90% to a maximum of 100% of UV rays.
The protection of a Gibus awning makes enjoying the summer sun a pleasure.
