Custom sun protection – Renson screens, awnings and smart control
Renson screens for less heat and more comfort
Large windows and glass areas let in plenty of natural light, but can also cause significant heating on sunny days. Renson screens block sunlight from the outside before the glass heats up too much, thus helping to limit solar heat and annoying glare, while daylight and the view to the outside are largely preserved depending on the chosen fabric. This makes screens particularly suitable for living spaces, offices, and large windows. For the best results, orientation, glass surface area, glazing , and sun protection are considered together, as it is primarily the combination that determines the ultimate summer comfort. Those who want to better understand this influence can also read how many degrees cooler a home can remain with sun protection .
Screens, roller shutters, or an awning: what suits your home?
Not every facade or room requires the same type of sun protection. Screens are ideal when heat and bright sunlight need to be limited while preserving daylight and the view, whereas custom-made roller shutters are particularly interesting when blackout and privacy are important. A sun awning or folding arm awning, on the other hand, creates comfortable shade over a terrace or seating area without a permanent roof. Exterior sun protection can also become an important part of summer comfort in conservatories with large glass panels . Within a single home, these solutions can be perfectly combined: screens in the living area, roller shutters in the bedrooms, and a sun awning over the terrace. If you are unsure between two systems, our comparison of screens versus roller shutters for your home will help you clearly weigh the differences in heat protection, light, privacy, and usability.
The right screen fabric for light, privacy, and blackout
The screen fabric determines how much sunlight is filtered, how much outward visibility is retained, and how much privacy a room receives. For living spaces, a fabric is often chosen that significantly reduces sunlight without completely closing off the interior, while more privacy may be desired on street-facing facades and greater blackout in bedrooms. Fabric color, casing, bottom rail, and guides are also coordinated with the windows and facade, ensuring the sun protection forms an architecturally unified whole. Furthermore, for large glass surfaces, the fabric, orientation, and glass must be assessed together; our guide on which glazing offers maximum living comfort delves deeper into this interplay. If you would like to view various designs first, our sun protection examples provide a clear picture of screens, colors, and applications.
Sun protection for renovation, new construction, and large sliding windows
In new construction, sun protection can be technically and visually integrated into the facade from the design stage, while in renovation, external screens can also be added to existing windows. When electrical wiring is difficult to access, a solar screen with a solar cell and battery can offer a practical solution. External sun protection deserves extra attention, particularly for large Reynaers aluminium sliding windows : the larger the glass surface, the more important orientation, glazing, and sun control become. This is even more true for a Reynaers Hi-Finity sliding window with minimal profiles and maximum glass area. By incorporating sun protection during the design or renovation phase, the casing, guides, power supply, colour, and window construction can be better developed as a single technical and architectural whole.
Smart operation and professional installation
Sun protection works most effectively when used before the home has heated up significantly. With Somfy, depending on the chosen model, screens can be controlled via remote control, sensors, smartphone, or smart home control, while existing applications can be further expanded with components for automating screens and roller shutters . VINCK assesses dimensions, mounting method, facade, electrical connection, fabric selection, and operation in advance, and subsequently takes care of technical measurements, professional installation, and precise adjustment. As a Renson Ambassador, we manage sun protection projects from Sint-Niklaas in the Waasland and surrounding regions; for projects in our immediate vicinity, you will also find specific information about sun protection in Sint-Niklaas .
