Outdoor sun protection is the collective name for products that counteract the nuisance of sunlight and heat in the house on the outside of your house. For some a luxury and for others a must. The trick is to make solar shading functional and at the same time safeguard the architecture of a building.
Solar shading comes in many different applications and we have listed the most important ones for you:
- Blinds
- Screens
- Marquises
- External blinds
- Sun awnings (folding arm awnings & drop arm awnings)
The purpose of sun protection is to protect a window, door, sliding door or even an entire terrace against the sun in an attractive and complete way. Which product suits you best depends on your wishes and the object you want to keep out of the sun. For complete sun protection for doors and windows, you can choose from roller shutters, screens or external blinds. Choose awnings or an awning to partially block the sun in the house or garden.
Screens: the ideal sun protection for outside
Screen shading is the most effective way. A screen is vertically hanging that can cover the entire window. Screens are most effective against warm rays of the sun and annoying glare from the sun. Screens are generally available in two versions: the standard screen and the so-called Zip screen. Quickly view all our options for screens blinds.
With global warming, hotter summers await us every year. Cooling by means of external sun protection is therefore of great importance. Screens can be placed on the outside of the windows and thus provide cooling indoors.
Blinds
Being another common form of shading blinds. When it comes to roller shutters, we have the choice between front rollers shutters and built-in shutter. The additional roller shutter is a roller shutter as it can be found in most cases, namely mounted with the help of a box on the outside wall. With a built-in roller shutter, the roller shutter is concealed in the facade above the relevant window or door. However, roller shutters are not only used as sun protection, but also for protection and insulation against the cold.

The screens are available in both manual operation and electrical operation. With electric sun blinds, it is supplied with, for example, a remote control or switch, so that you can lower it automatically. Operation via a mobile app is also common these days.

Awnings are a striking eye-catcher and are therefore often used for shops or restaurants. With beautiful logos and photos, they are a jewel for the facade.

The heat that the screen collects during the day is released under the screen in the evening. This ensures a pleasant temperature on your terrace, both during the day and in the evening!

The screen owes its name to the bend that the bar makes when folding and unfolding the awning. They have a roll on the top with a cloth wrapped around it. In contrast to folding arm awnings, you can sit under the awning with folding arm awnings to enjoy the weather.
What types are there?
If you are looking for retractable arm awnings, you can choose from two different variants: 2-tube retractable arm awnings and 3-tube retractable arm awnings . With a 2-tube system, two different arms are used, which are attached to the outside of the screen. With a 3-tube system, at least 3 different arms are used, which are attached to the screen.
The big advantage of 3-tube systems is that they are a lot more robust than 2-tube systems. This allows 3-pipe systems to reach a maximum width of up to 16 more, while 2-pipe systems cannot be wider than 5 meters.

Buying a retractable arm awning: what should you pay attention to?
Would you like to enjoy a new folding arm awning this summer? Then there are a few things to keep in mind. The range of sun protection is wide, and the choice is enormous. Therefore, pay attention to the following things when choosing a folding arm awning.
Projection and width of the awning
At Afzzonwering.nl, retractable arm awnings up to a projection of 5 meters can be supplied. However, we see that the standard is 4 meters. The width and projection of an awning are partly determined by the strength of the wall to which it is attached. The screens are usually mounted with chemical anchors. The height of the wall often determines the strength that the wall can take and it must be solidly built. If the wall meets all the requirements, there should be no problems during installation.
Furthermore, the width of the awnings is of course also important. At zonwering.nl we often see that people want the widest possible sun protection. A 2-tube system is sufficient for an awning with a width of up to 5 meters. However, if you want a folding arm awning that is at least 6 meters wide, you need a 3-tube system.
Mounting a folding arm awning
Installing a folding arm awning involves a lot of work and involves quite a few risks. For example, the facade of your building can suffer enormous damage if it is not hung correctly. For that reason, we always recommend having the installation of a folding arm awning carried out by a professional. We are happy to help you find a suitable specialist in your area!
