Annie and Michel live in Tourcoing, in a contemporary residence in the city centre. Both retired, they have chosen to live on the ground floor. The access from the ground floor is very practical. The immediate proximity of the residence’s wooded garden is very pleasant. Despite a beautiful southern exposure, the presence of a balcony on the first floor, just above the living room bay window, hides the sun. The large trees that surround the residence make its charm, but they also hide the sun.
Discover how Annie and Michel managed to bring the sun into their home with the Garden Reflector.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVISAGED SOLUTIONS
Annie and Michel’s apartment has a large living space that includes the living room and kitchen. Even when the weather is nice and the sun is shining outside, the trees and the balcony above block the entrance of light on the ground floor. You have to wait until summer when the sun is really high for its rays to enter Annie and Michel’s home. An unpleasant situation that lasted as long as there was no satisfactory solution.
None of the following solutions suited Annie and Michel :
- Shorten the hundred-year-old trees bordering the plot. This radical approach would take the charm out of the residence’s garden. Moreover, it would not change anything about the balcony above.
- Making greater use of electric lighting to light up the living room, even in broad daylight and in good weather. This is exactly what Annie and Michel want to avoid.
Michel finally discovers Espaciel in a press article. He inquires on the internet. The Light Reflector seems to him to be an efficient solution to meet his needs and easy to install. He orders a Garden Reflector from the Espaciel online shop.
A LIGHT-FLOODED GROUND FLOOR WITH THE GARDEN REFLECTOR
As soon as the package is received, Annie installs her Garden Reflector. Annie and Michel immediately discover a considerable gain in clarity at home. They are particularly satisfied with the effect of the Espaciel Reflector on sunny days on their ground floor.
From the terrace where it is placed, the Garden Reflector reflects the sun’s rays and redirects them towards the ceiling of the living room. By reverberating on the white paint on the walls and ceiling, this solar contribution illuminates the whole living room and kitchen with natural light.
RESULTS
Today, Annie and Michel are thrilled. They no longer need to turn on the electric light all the time to read the newspaper or to cook. The Espaciel Reflector gives them a lot of clarity and contributes to their well-being.
“I recommend the Espaciel Reflector for anyone who lacks natural light in their home. “
Annie.
A balcony overlooking the French window of a living room, trees that form a mask of vegetation in front of a bay window are very common situations. If, like Annie and Michel, you too lack sunshine in your home, call Espaciel !
