Australia is a sun-drenched
country with wide expansive plains and breathtaking mountain
ranges. Isolated from the
rest of the world for hundreds of thousands of years, it
became home to unique plants and wildlife found nowhere
else on earth. Animals such as kangaroos adapted and now
thrive
in the wide open spaces and harsh climate, where daylight
hours bring searing heat before plunging to freezing temperatures
at night.
Like the kangaroo, the story of Coolaroo is uniquely
Australian. Coolaroo fabric was developed in Australia over
50 years
ago from tough, durable exterior grade materials to withstand
the extreme weather conditions. Its design was also unique,
a combination of yarns patterned to allow cooling breezes
to pass through while repelling heat and the harmful effects
of UV rays. The effect was dramatic. Homeowners began using
Coolaroo as a shade fabric and later as a window shade to
provide cooling relief during summer, making life more bearable
and leading to the modern day Australian lifestyle.
Since
those early days, Coolaroo has grown to become a truly global
brand as homeowners in the United States and elsewhere
soon discovered the benefits of owning a Coolaroo exterior
sun shade. Through ongoing research and development, Coolaroo
has adapted to new markets and weather conditions with fabric
products that continue to offer homeowners with the best
protection from heat and harmful UV rays that are also energy
efficient and reduce power bills.
As always, Coolaroo remains
committed to environmental responsibility. Future fabric
developments seek to reduce environmental footprints
even further while continuing to provide the same benefits
that homeowners have come to know and expect. Find out more
