What are the benefits of sun protection for windows?

The primary benefit of outside sun protection? The sun is prevented from heating up the glass because the screens, outside venetian blinds or veranda sun canopies block the sun’s rays. This natural and energy-efficient method results in a noticeably cooler indoor climate.

Window sun protection also offers greater privacy and fully lowered screens serve as an insect barrier. Discover the benefits of our wide range of outside venetian blinds, roller blinds and screens and invest in a comfortable, energy-efficient living environment.

What are the benefits of sun protection for the terrace?

Folding arm awnings offer a range of benefits so you can get the most from your outdoor space. First, they protect you from damaging UV radiation so you can relax and enjoy the outdoors without worrying about exposure to the sun. Second, a folding arm awning creates pleasant shade and offers natural cooling, keeping the temperature on your terrace comfortable, even on warmer days.

This type of horizontal sun protection improves your privacy while also matching the colour and quality of your outdoor furniture. From an aesthetic point of view, sun protection on your terrace adds a stylish element to your outdoor space, improving not only its functionality but also its visual appeal. In short, with terrace sun protection, you are investing in a comfortable, sheltered and atmospheric outdoor environment.

Why is solar shading so energy efficient?

Solar shading for windows and terraces represents an energy-efficient solution as it provides a natural barrier to the intensity of the sun. By keeping the sun out, sun protection helps to regulate the indoor temperature, reducing the need for excessive use of air conditioning in the summer. This not only leads to energy cost savings, but also supports a reduced ecological footprint. Solar shading also provides insulation in winter, limiting heat loss and reducing the need for heating. In short, sun protection for windows and terraces is an energy-efficient investment that provides cost savings and reduces energy consumption through the seasons.
