Good thermal insulation is necessary

Awnings are required for conservatories and glass canopies

In conservatories and under glass patio covers, there is protection from rain and at the same time a clear view outside. But effective sun protection is needed to be able to sit there as often as possible. Only then, according to markilux, do they provide great living pleasure. Markilux screens for glass structures are suitable for this purpose for almost any facade.

Soak up sunlight and enjoy the sun when it's still cool outside or simply spend a summer day under a protective canopy. There are many reasons to expand a home with a sunroom or glass patio cover. These bright extra spaces are in high demand. But if there is no shading, indoor temperatures can heat up uncomfortably in the summer.

Shading is important for a good indoor climate

This is where screens for conservatories and glass roofs, from awning manufacturer markilux for example, come in handy. Its extensive range of products can be individualized if required. The screens are available in different sizes and with various additional functions - for every taste and situation. "All our models offer reliable protection from too much sun and heat. Because without sun protection, you have little use for that beautiful conservatory or that stylish glass roof," says Michael Gerling, Director of Production and Technology.

Screens are suitable for any glass construction

Top and bottom glass screens are available. The cloth cassettes of these screens are offered in angular and round shapes. In almost all of these models, the cloths run over side guides by means of a tracfix system without a gap. This makes them very wind stable. In addition, LED lights can be integrated, allowing the underglass screens to create beautiful, even colorful, lighting effects. Vertical screens and side screens offer additional visibility and weather protection depending on the spatial situation. The design is tailored to the appearance of today's glass structures. According to Gerling, the screens can be mounted to just about any building structure to create a consistently pleasant indoor climate. "In addition to modern, low-maintenance technology, the properties of our screen fabrics are especially decisive," he said. For example, the fabrics reflect UV rays, keeping the heat out. This creates a pleasant living environment.

Preferably operate blinds automatically

Therefore, when building a conservatory or installing glass patio covers, awnings should be planned immediately. And preferably with automated technology, Michael Gerling recommends. "Really efficient is an awning that provides shade to a room before the heat can enter. That can be controlled by sensors and functions that let the screen turn on and off independently."
