Environmental Comfort with Canopies

Canopies offer environmental comfort through external sun protection, controlling the solar radiation that falls on a surface.

Reflection and Absorption

Lighter colors reflect more light, reducing absorption and transmission.

Darker colors absorb more light, increasing the temperature.

The water and the white deck reflect the sunlight, intensifying the heat and discomfort.

White convertible tops amplify reflection, increasing heat.
