Sun protection

Sun protection outside

Sun protection exists for both indoors and outdoors. For interior sun blinds we mainly think of window decoration such as curtains. In front of sun protection outside we think about sunshades, sun canopies, screens, shutters, awnings and blinds for our home, but also for slats for our patio cover or pergola.

Whatever type of sun protection you want, you've come to the right place at Vakmangids! We will help you with your search for one good sun protection specialist in your area. We have numerous contractors & providers at your disposal, with extensive experience in installing sun blinds.

Types of sun protection

Sun protection provides shade in the house and on your terrace or veranda. When purchasing sun protection, many people ask themselves whether they are going to install it themselves or have it installed by a specialist. In certain cases it is quite possible to do this yourself for indoor sun blinds. However, if you want to install outdoor sun protection such as sunshades or sun canopies, it is better to leave this to a specialist who has the right materials and knowledge to install it professionally and accurately.

Types of outdoor sun protection

There are many types of sun blinds available. In principle, you can choose from five common types of outdoor sun blinds:

• Sunshades or sun canopies such as drop-down awnings and folding arm awnings
• screens
• Marquises
• Shutters

Sunshades & awnings

Drop-down awnings are the most well-known and affordable type of awnings or sun canopies, which are easy to assemble and therefore relatively cheap to install. Folding arm awnings are mainly suitable for use above a terrace, as the folding arms sit just below the fabric and do not get in your way when you walk across your terrace.

screens

Screens are used when there is little space available, as they open and close vertically and are placed against your facade.

Marquises

For a characteristic and stylish variant, awnings are the best option, with their characteristic arch shape.

Shutters

Shutters are horizontal slats that are mounted on the inside of the window frames. The slats are adjustable, so they not only provide sun protection, but can also serve as stylish window coverings.

Electric operation

Each type can be operated electrically via a remote control or via your smartphone, which is of course a useful addition in comfort.
