How to choose the right Sunscreen for your patio or balcony?

Reading Time: 6 minutes

Creating a comfortable and stylish outdoor space begins with choosing the right Sunscreen. Whether you have a spacious patio or a cozy balcony, choosing Sunscreen is crucial to enjoying the outdoors to the fullest. Below is a roadmap to help you make this important decision.

1. Determine the purpose of the Sunscreen

Before you begin exploring options for Sunscreen, it is essential to consider what you want to achieve with the Sunscreen. Are you primarily looking for sun protection, do you want to create privacy, or is aesthetics most important?

2. Measure the size of your outdoor space

The size of your patio or balcony plays a big role in the type of Sunscreen you can install. For larger terraces, a pergola or articulated awning ideal, while for a small balcony a screen or pull screen can be effective.

3. Choose the right materials & colors

The materials of the Sunscreen should not only be durable, but also match the style of your home. Aluminum is popular for its durability and modern look, as well as being available in all RAL colors. Match the Sunscreen to your home's style by choosing from more than 250 fabric colors.



4. Discover the sun's orientation

The position of the sun during the day can affect the type of Sunscreen you need. For example, do you suffer from the low-lying sun? Then an umbrella or pergola with a retractable flounce offers a solution. With the push of a button, you can create a shaded patio that blocks the low sun and is good for privacy.

5. Consider automation and additional features

Control your Sunscreen easily at the touch of a button thanks to electric controls. Want to be able to control the Sunscreen remotely? Then consider purchasing the Tahoma Switch, an advanced system that allows you to manage your Sunscreen from anywhere via your smartphone or tablet.

6. Stop by a showroom and experience it for yourself
