Screens comprise a vertically hanging 'screen', or screen, which can be mounted along the desired opening (windows or doors). Screens prevent a rise in temperature in your home and also protect against disturbing light. They therefore block the sun and the heat outside, so that it is always a pleasant temperature inside. The advantage of screen blinds is that the view from your home to the outside is maintained (depending on the chosen color and situation), but the view from the outside to the inside is limited. Ideal if you value your privacy.

Screen blinds for indoor and outdoor use

First of all, it is important to know exactly how a screen works. The system consists of a cassette, roll-up shaft, a cloth and a bottom frame. The canvas is often weighted by means of a hollow aluminum bottom frame weighted with iron. It slides down from the cassette between two guides. The cassette / cabinet, guides and bottom frame are in many cases made of high-quality aluminum.

In general, these are available in two versions: the standard screen orzipscreen. The advantage of a zip screen compared to a standard screen is the wind resistance. With a zip screen, the fabric is secured in the guide by means of a zipper. This model is also called windproof screen, zip screen, zip screen or fix screen. Screens can be placed on the inside as well as the outside of the windows. 

Electric screens on the windows

The Afzzonwering screens are supplied as standard electric screens that are placed tightly along the windows. These are driven indoors and outdoors by an electric motor. You can operate it by means of a remote control, a switch and / or an app on your smartphone or tablet.

The Afzzonwering electric screens are powered with a Somfy motor. This motor compensates for the fabric stretch when rolled up and has a sensor to detect obstruction. This minimizes the risk of damage to your electric screens.
