'Custom screen awnings for large windows'

They are popping up more and more in new construction and major renovations: large expanses of glass. They provide a sense of space and a sleek, contemporary look. But the larger the windows, the more important shading becomes.

Large expanses of glass maximize the warmth of the low-level sun during colder periods. Is the winter sun too bright? Then it can easily be kept out, as cloth sunshades allow for year-round sun control. 

In the summer months, screens offer a high degree of protection against overheating, mainly because bright sunlight is blocked before it even reaches the windows. This prevents the glass from heating up, keeping your home's temperature pleasantly cool throughout the day. 

Screens are often considered the most elegant and minimalist shading solution on the market. Totally tailored to the latest trends in architecture, they are suitable for very large sizes. "Our Lockscreen® INTEGRATED will not disappoint in this respect with its maximum width of up to 6 meters," believes Femke Desmet, marketing manager at BUILDING SHUTTERS. "The compact box is concealed in the cavity wall and equipped with a fully retractable bottom bar, this built-in screen is the epitome of invisible elegance. A magnificent solution for shading in large glass areas." 

"A stylish solution is also available to couple screens to overcome more extreme dimensions. With the new coupling guide, screens are coupled together with no problem, without damaging the appearance of the facade. The coupling guide guarantees easy mounting of the fabric awning to the window pillars. This system can be used with both the Lockscreen® FRONT and the Lockscreen® INTEGRATED. All in all, a beautiful solution for a sober and attractive mounting of screens on large windows and curtain walls." 

"BUILDING SHUTTERS is betting on fast assembly with its innovations," continues Femke Desmet. "So too with the plug-and-play principle for the fabric attachment of the screens. It ensures that the cloth can be attached to the cloth tube exceptionally quickly, faster than with traditional systems. What further contributes to fast assembly is that orders are delivered fully assembled. On the one hand, this is a great guarantee of quality; on the other, it saves a lot of time and provides great convenience for installers."
