The shade providers:
rolling shutters, blinds & Co see to a pleasant climate
Twelve o’clock midday: the sun is burning the asphalt; the heat spoils even a short stroll. A shady spot on the balcony, terrace or conservatory and a cool flat – that’s just what you need to enjoy midsummer at home, even in the midday heat. But how does it stay so nice and cool indoors and on the terrace? The answer to this is, with the right shelter from the sun. Rolling shutters, awnings, Venetian blinds, roller blinds or folding doors as shade providers see to a comfortable climate inside the house in midsummer temperatures. What is important for optimal protection from the sun is choosing from the multitude of products, exactly the one that meets your personal requirements and suits the circumstances of the house or flat. This is where you need an expert: he can advise on the selection of the correct sun protection and ensure professional planning and installation.
Nothing gets in here: external shading
Pleasant coolness is guaranteed by exterior shelter from the sun such as that provided by rolling shutters. They block out the sun’s rays so that the heat doesn’t get into the house in the first place. They protect living rooms, furniture and plants from too intensive radiation. At the same time, these shade providers see not only to agreeable temperatures indoors, but also lend any room an individual touch.
Sun protection for terrace and conservatory
Shade can be achieved outside too. Awnings on terraces and balconies, for example, offer optimal protection from the sun. Right through to the 1970s, these shade providers were primarily woven from cotton – brown and orange striped fabrics characterised the appearance of many balconies and terraces at that time. These days, awnings are available in a wide range of materials, starting with acrylic fabric through woven polyester material to PVC-coated awning fabrics and woven glass-fibre materials. And as far as colour and design are concerned, there are no limits set on individual taste.
Awnings – mounted on the roof or on the side next to windows – are also suitable for shading conservatories. Guide channels ensure stability and guarantee that the cloth stays in constant tension. But Venetian blinds too offer good protection from the sun not only in the conservatory but in any other room. The slats of Venetian blinds are adjustable; the incoming light can be individual regulated. The sun’s rays and thus heat stay outside without occupants having to do without natural daylight inside.A question of technology
Modern rolling shutters, awnings and Venetian blinds are equipped with electric motors and an automatic controller. That provides security and modern convenience: the awning rolls completely in or out on command. By having the specialist for blinds install appropriate sensors, sun protection products can react to wind, sun and rain. This automation is especially important for awnings, particularly when you are not at home. Because if the awning is extended in a storm, strong wind or rain, the cloth of the awning can be damaged; on the other hand, if the awning is rolled in when the sun is shining, plants can become dried out, furniture bleached. The sensors prevent this: depending on the weather, they run the sun shade in or out fully automatically.
