1. Natural cooling

Sun protection naturally blocks out the sun’s heat, keeping the atmosphere pleasantly cool indoors. This not only provides a comfortable temperature inside your home, but also lets you save on your energy bills. In the warmer summer months, energy-hungry air conditioning becomes unnecessary. And in the winter months, sun protection creates an extra layer of insulation, a rewarding win-win for you and your home!

2. Protection in all weather conditions

In addition to protection from the sun, some types of sun protection can also provide protection against rain. For example, when you choose a slatted roof, you are able to create a covered terrace in no time at all. For example, opt for a Brera slatted roof. Unique to the Brera slatted roof is its ability to slide fully open or closed. When the slats are open, you enjoy maximum light transmission. Is it about to rain? Then you simply close the slatted roof with just one touch of a button. Do you want additional wind protection? Then you simply extend a terrace awning such as a slatted roof, by adding glass or wooden sliding walls or screens. This makes sun protection surprisingly versatile, and ensures your enjoyment of your garden or terrace in all weather conditions.

3. An extension of your home

There are several ways to install sun protection. You can choose a free-standing type such as a pergola, or you can opt for sun protection such as a folding arm awning that is fitted to the wall of your house. It is even possible to have your sun protection, such as a slatted roof, built into the roof construction of your existing veranda. Whichever option you choose, our sun protection beautifully unifies your garden or terrace with your home. This creates a cosy and atmospheric area where it is comfortable to sit outside all year round. Your indoor area now becomes an outdoor area, giving you an extension to your home, without the need for a building permit.

4. Choosing your own level of light transmission

For many people, a house with plenty of light transmission is a top priority for their living conditions. Imagine how convenient it is when you are able to choose the amount of light entering your own home! On cloudy or cool days, it can be extremely pleasant to let the sunshine into your house. But during warm summer days, the temperature can quickly rise. In that case sun protection makes it easy to control the light transmission. Opening and closing the sun protection, such as screens, a folding arm awning or a terrace awning such as a folding roof or slatted roof, is made easy using remote control or an app. This gives you the opportunity to play with the light and atmosphere in your home.

5. Extra privacy

Sun protection not only provides protection against sun, rain and wind, but also offers enhanced privacy. For example, choose screens for your windows or as an extension of your terrace awning. Sun screens keep out prying eyes without blocking your view. Screens allow you to look outside with a full view of your garden.

Screens not only provide extra privacy; they also keep out small insects such as midges. That’s an added bonus and another reason to choose sun protection.
