An awning window that comes with complete UV protection? It may sound incredibly specific, but if that’s what you’re looking for, OpenUp Windows has it. Check out their sustainable gas strut pass-through awning windows today!
Even if you work indoors, if you’re sitting in a spot that receives any amount of direct sunlight, you’ve probably experienced the unpleasantness brought about by the “hot arm” phenomenon. Or perhaps you have had to endure the equally uncomfortable “hot leg” phenomenon. Either way, the sun’s hitting one part of your body, and at the height of summer, that can get unbearable really fast. But did you know that it could also be damaging your skin?
We can’t really do anything about the sun, but we can do something about sun protection. Now, before you start slapping on sunscreen indoors, why not check out OpenUp Windows’ gas strut awning windows first? With full UV protection, these space-saving windows are perfect for commercial dining areas, food service, and even your homes, especially if these areas happen to be sitting right in the path of the sun! Better yet, you can customize every inch of them to fit your space. If you were looking for the perfect way to beat Texan summers, you’ve found it!

Speaking of Texan summers, did you know that Texas has one of the highest UV indices in the United States? Just so you know, the higher the UV index is, the more damaging the sun’s rays are to your skin - in other words, Texas is the last place you’d want to get a tan!
Your first instinct may be to take shelter from the sun indoors, but you might not be as protected as you think. Although normal windows will block the majority of UVB rays, UVA rays are still transmitted through the glass, and prolonged exposure to this type of UV radiation can cause premature skin aging and increase your risk of developing skin cancer. Also, if there’s sun coming into the room in the middle of the day, it’s going to heat things up no matter what you do.
If air conditioning isn’t a viable solution for you, don’t worry. As OpenUp is aware of the possible hazards of sun exposure, they provide you with a number of glass options with UV protection, and these are suitable for all manner of sunny climates. All of their standard awning windows come with an electrolytically applied hard coating, but you can opt for double-silver and triple-silver coats. These types of soft coatings reflect long-wave radiation efficiently, decreasing the solar heat gain coefficient of an indoor space and slowing the rate at which it heats up. So you (and any furniture sitting in the path of the sun) get protection from those damaging UV rays, and the windows stop your indoor haven from getting too hot, too fast. Two birds, one stone!
You can also upgrade from standard thick glass to tempered double-insulated glass, which consists of two thin panels separated by less than an inch of empty space. Don’t think this extra space weakens the window at all, though! This pocket of air acts as an extra layer of insulation, and OpenUp can fill this space with argon gas to further increase the insulating effect. Windows that will be exposed to water or extreme temperatures require additional considerations, and OpenUp offers options for these situations as well.
And their windows are made to last. Each window is built using a unique combination of heavy extruded tubular aluminum and Accoya wood, and both materials contribute to the longevity and durability of the product. Aluminum and Accoya wood are also recyclable, making OpenUp’s windows completely renewable. By the way, if you’re getting sustainable windows installed in your home or business, you definitely deserve the bragging rights associated with that level of integrity!
