Outdoor awnings - the sustainable solution for summer and winter

When insulating a house, we often think of putting insulation between the interior and exterior walls. But did you know that a lot of cold and heat also comes in through the windows? Luxaflex®, the market leader in window coverings, tips on how to keep your home cool during the summer from now on and how to prepare for winter now, so you'll be warm in the cold months. 

Go for a sustainable solution by choosing screens. These block both sun and heat on sunny days. And with screens down, you won't be bothered by annoying glare on your screen when you're working from home or relaxing to watch TV. A nice bonus: when you choose Luxaflex® screens, you also protect your interior against UV radiation. In addition, the insulating effect of a screen makes it a year-round solution. If you keep the screens down during the winter, the heat will stay inside your home. Win-win! Luxaflex® screens are available in a variety of decorative fabrics in different transparencies and with hardware in any RAL color. 

Luxaflex® screens are optionally available with a solar panel on the hood. This recharges the battery and allows the screen to be operated electrically on solar power. This eliminates the need for a separate power connection. The screens can be operated with a remote control or wall switch, depending on the level of comfort you are looking for.

Another option for outdoor sun protection besides screens are outdoor blinds. Both screens and outdoor blinds prevent prying eyes from outside, but do not block light from entering your home. In daylight, you can still see outside properly. In addition, they can withstand any type of weather thanks to their high-quality aluminum slats and trays and fiberglass-reinforced plastic bands. The outdoor blinds are available in a variety of slat widths and colors.

When it comes to outdoor sun protection, the choice between screens or outdoor blinds is mostly a matter of personal taste. Both solutions help you save energy and work effectively against sunlight. Is your interior a bit more quiet and subtle and do you prefer fabric? Then screens might be a good option. Does a modern style suit you better? Then the aluminum exterior blinds are suitable.
