Dear Summer Sun,

Thank you for beach vacations.
Thank you for backyard barbecues.
Thank you for tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes.
We appreciate golden hour more than you'll ever know.

However...

Could you please stop reflecting off every computer screen between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m.?

Sincerely,
Everyone who has ever sat next to a west-facing window.

Joking aside, August is Summer Sun Safety Month, so it's a good time to remember even summer sunshine comes with a few ground rules. Heading outside? Put on the SPF. Grab the sunglasses. Find a shady spot when the sun is at its strongest. And please drink some water. Your future self will appreciate it.

Because while the sun may be having its main character moment, most of us eventually have to leave the beach, garden, or pool and head back inside to get to work. And that doesn't mean we want to leave the sunshine behind.

Natural daylight can make a space feel bright, welcoming, and connected to the outdoors. But when the afternoon sun hits your computer screen just right, suddenly you're spending more time fighting reflections than finishing your work.

That's where Mermet's E Screen™ LOWGLARE™ comes in. It helps reduce distracting reflections and blocks harmful UV rays while still allowing natural light and outdoor views to flow through. So you can enjoy the benefits of daylight without having to squint at your screen, rearrange your desk, or wonder if sunglasses are an acceptable office accessory.

We all deserve a little less glare with our daylight, and a good daylight design doesn't stop with your windows. If you're looking for more ideas on making the most of natural light, explore our Pinterest board, Designed for Daylight, where we've gathered bright interiors, thoughtful shading solutions, and spaces that show how light can be both beautiful and functional.

This August, enjoy the sunshine. Hit the pool. Take the vacation. Sit on the patio. Soak up everything summer has to offer. Just remember your SPF when you're outside, and when you head back in, make sure your windows are ready for the sun, too.

After all, SPF is for you. Sunscreen is for your windows. 😎
