What it is
Eaves throw rainwater clear of the walls and shade windows. Deep eaves are a classic feature of homes built for hot, rainy climates.
Key points
- Overhang beyond the wall
- Protects walls from rain
- Shades windows and walls
- Often finished with a fascia
Why it matters
In Chennai sun and rain, overhangs and sunshades keep walls cooler and drier.
How Elamentt handles it
Our designs use sunshades and projections to shade windows, as in your drawings.
