'Also capitalizing on project market with expansion of screen program'

“Sunmaster's extensive screen program has its origins in the project world,” notes director-owner Chris Kollen. “Since the introduction of the first screen, it has grown into a varied program with solutions for almost any situation. For our screens, we use cloths from Helioscreen and Copaco, with which we appear to be able to meet almost any need.”

Kollen notes that Sunmaster is seen as a manufacturer with expertise. “With that comes the recent additions to our screen program. The previously introduced screens 85 and 100 with square case are now a great success, as the demand for square design is still increasing. The appearance of these screens therefore fits seamlessly with the vision of contemporary architects.”

The replacement market is also looking at appropriate design
“The square cabinet is now on the rise again, but obviously not new,” Kollen continues. “In the past, many screens with square cabinets have been supplied for projects, which are now in need of replacement. Often the architecture of a building doesn't allow anything other than using the same model again. With our new cabinets 85 and 100 square, we meet that demand.”

“With our screens - with square, beveled or round enclosures - Sunmaster's zipper screen program is more complete than ever,” Kollen observes. “Also, the new dividable screen guide with click system makes mounting a screen easy and neat. The guides can be used both in and on the day and mounting is invisible. Especially for application in projects, this is an added value, because the assembly time is shorter, but also because this solution is more aesthetic. Furthermore, new parts will be available in the near future for the mounting complement. As soon as these are available, we will of course announce this immediately.”

Also non-standard
A plus for Sunmaster when it comes to projects, according to Kollen, is direct consultation with those involved and thinking in solutions. “Communication and planning around a project are just as important as a good product. We supervise small projects with just as much care as large ones, which together with our dealers makes us deliverable. We don't shy away from non-standard solutions either. If we can't make it, no one can!”

Sunfix® screen embraces Somfy Maestria IO
“The ultimate wind-resistant screen on the Dutch market is and remains the patented Sunfix® screen with the unique hook-in system for the bottom batten,” is Chris Kollen's opinion. “The Maestria IO motor developed by Somfy turns out to be a perfect match for the Sunfix® screen,” continues the director. “The intelligent technology in the motor allows the windproof screen to move in and out of the locking position flawlessly. A real improvement that will certainly contribute to the popularity of this screen model that continues to hold its place despite the violence in the zip market.” 

The inventor of the patriotic screen industry
Anyone who knows a little of the history of the sun protection industry in the Netherlands knows that Sunmaster was at the cradle of the Dutch screen industry. “We have innovated for decades and never compromised on quality,” Kollen explains. “With a Sunmaster screen, the sun protection specialist has a reliable product in his hands, based on our years of experience and executed according to the latest technology.”
