A Seamless Solution for Comfort and Privacy with the EOS Window Awning
Project Overview
A homeowner facing issues with both privacy and excessive afternoon sunlight turned to Sol-Lux's EOS Automated Window Awning for a solution. The west-facing bathroom window was particularly troublesome, leading to temperature discomfort from direct sunlight and a lack of privacy from neighboring views.
Challenges
Privacy Needs: The internal shades provided some relief but failed to offer the desired level of privacy.
Sun Glare: The intense afternoon sun was making the bathroom uncomfortably hot.
Solution
The client chose the EOS Automated Window Awning in a 60” width, with a Signal White 9003 cassette and Sunbrella Linen 6033-0000 fabric. The awning’s solar-powered operation made it an eco-friendly choice, and its intelligent design required no interaction from the homeowner.
Planning & Design
The planning and design process was straightforward. The client measured the window trim to determine the appropriate width of the awning, accounting for the 2 1/2” end caps. The awning was slightly larger than the window, ensuring optimal coverage while keeping the end caps within the frame. The client then used the Sunbrella fabric book and RAL chips to select colors, ensuring a seamless match with the exterior of the home.
Installation
The installation was smooth, with only one installer required. Some shimming was necessary to ensure the awning was flush, but the included shims made this an easy fix. The awning was delivered securely via UPS, and the installation guides provided clear instructions.
Outcome
The EOS awning perfectly fit the window, delivering the privacy and sun protection the client needed. The bathroom now stays cooler throughout the day, and the awning blends beautifully with the home’s exterior. The autonomous operation, adjusted for early morning activation by lowering the sun sensitivity setting in the Sol-Lux app, has become a favorite feature for the homeowner. It requires no daily interaction, enhancing the overall comfort and convenience of their space.
Client Feedback
“We really love our window awning. It’s unobtrusive, blending seamlessly into the house in the evening, and adds both color and a cool factor when open during the day. The room stays cooler during the afternoon sun, and it operates effortlessly without any need for manual control.”
