If you live in Mesa, for example, did you know that you are safe from a lot of dangerous natural disasters? It’s true. Because it is located on a raised plateau or mesa, it is free from large scale floods. There are no earthquake faults anywhere nearby, hurricanes are extremely rare, as are tornadoes, and being located in the Sun Belt, blizzards are obviously not a problem that you’ll have to ever contend with. However, there is one problem you have to be aware of and this problem requires a way to deal with it, namely a sun room or a patio cover. That problem? Heat related illness of course.
With temperatures averaging 100 degrees or hotter during summer, you will need to protect yourself from the sun. While sunscreen will obviously protect you from UV rays, what about heat related illness. Well, first off, keep hydrated. One of the things that is dangerous about exposure to too much heat is that the moisture is baked out of a person. But another thing that is something you must do is to reduce your exposure to heat first, and using an Arizona room or patio cover is one way to do this.
How Can a Patio Cover or Arizona Room Help?
Well, both of them can reduce your exposure to heat significantly. An Arizona room by 90%, a patio cover by 60%. So that reduction can literally make the difference between life and death.
So, remember, if you live in Arizona, make sure you keep your cool. One of the best ways to do this is to install an Arizona room or a patio cover.
This concludes part one of our series on patio covers. Be sure to read part two and part three as well.
