Do you know what the first day of spring and your comfort at home have in common? Besides the return of sunshine, March 21 marks Global Shading Day (GSD) – the worldwide day of shading technology. And since we at Labona literally live and breathe shading, we have prepared a celebration that will save you more than just a few sun rays in your eyes.

Why celebrate Shading Day?

You might think that blinds or shutters are simply “things in the window”. But Global Shading Day, under the patronage of the ES-SO association and our national Association of Shading Technology Entrepreneurs (SPST), reminds us every year that proper shading is a true superhero of modern living.

If you are wondering whether investing in exterior shading is worth it, the numbers speak clearly. The difference between a home with quality blinds and one without them is significant:

• Indoor temperature: Exterior blinds can reflect up to 80–90% of heat radiation before it passes through the glass into the room. During hot summers, this can mean a difference of up to 9°C.

• Energy savings: Air conditioning consumes a lot of energy. By using automated shading properly, you can reduce cooling costs by more than 30%.

• Window thermal resistance: In winter, lowered exterior roller blinds act as an additional insulation layer, reducing heat loss through windows by 10–15%.

• Acoustic comfort: Exterior shutters can reduce street noise by up to 10 decibels, which the human ear perceives roughly as cutting the noise level in half.

Without shading, your living room can turn into a “greenhouse” with temperatures around 30°C in July. With exterior blinds lowered, you can maintain a pleasant 21–23°C.
