Light in balance

Light brings rooms to life – it is up to us to carefully regulate and control it

Sun shading with Schüco Shade

Everything is better when the sun is shining. However, too much sunlight can be a challenge, especially in summer. When the sun shines directly through the windows, rooms quickly heat up, glare disrupts your day-to-day life and the indoor climate suffers. Modern sun shading from Schüco provides reliable protection against heat and glare. At the same time, it ensures comfortable levels of daylight and more comfortable living, so you can feel at home at any time of day.

Everything you need to know about sun shading

Improved quality of life

Natural light fills rooms with brightness and offers an unobstructed view of the outside world, promoting health and well-being.

The perfect indoor climate all year round

Thanks to modern glazing and suitable shading, rooms remain comfortably cool in summer and cosy and warm in winter.

Protection against glare and overheating

Flexible systems create the perfect balance between daylight, screening and comfortable living at all times. This allows you to adapt each room to your individual needs.

Adding value to your home and everyday life

Intelligent sun shading and heat protection saves energy costs, while increasing comfort and the value of your property – for an energy-efficient, comfortable place to live.

What really matters

The right shading creates a more comfortable home – with the right amount of light, effective protection against heat and the option to control everything via remote control or app.

Roller blinds, external blinds and textile sun shading systems allow daylight to be controlled in a targeted manner – from complete darkening to light transparency. You can therefore create lighting that supports your comfort and well-being.

Sun shading and glare protection is not only suitable for windows, but also large-format sliding doors. They noticeably increase comfort levels, particularly with large glass surfaces.

External sun shading is the most effective option. It diverts solar heat away from the windows to prevent rooms from warming up too much.

Internal sun shading systems can increase protection. Light materials with high reflection and low transparency can effectively combat overheating.

Sun shading that pays off

Windows with smart sun shading not only increase living comfort, but can also noticeably reduce ongoing energy costs.

  • Up to 50% lower cooling costs in summer, as external sun shading systems effectively divert solar radiation and prevent rooms from heating up.
  • Up to 30% of heating costs saved in winter, as solar heat gains are utilised.
  • Automated controls adapt the shading independently to light and temperature conditions – without any need for manual intervention.

Which type of sun shading is best for your home?

Depending on the material and design, you can either have opaque screening and glare protection or a transparent fabric with open views to the outside. In this way, you can plan the right Schüco solution for every room in your home.

Textile sun shading

can be used internally and externally. This solution is visually light and elegant, offering up many design possibilities thanks to the variety of fabrics, grades of transparency and colour options. Depending on the material or film, you can have an opaque fabric offering excellent glare protection and screening, or a transparent fabric guaranteeing optimum views to the outside.

External blinds

enable flexible control of light and shade. They offer effective heat protection, allow daylight to enter the room and create glare-free, natural light while maintaining views to outside. Their modern appearance also enhances the look of the façade.

Roller shutters

offer outstanding heat protection and ensure a comfortable room temperature. They provide complete darkening, increase privacy and improve thermal insulation in winter.

FAQs

How do you stop heat coming through the windows?

The most effective option is external sun shading, because it catches the heat from the sun before it hits the window. Rooms therefore heat up significantly less and the indoor climate remains pleasant, even on warm days. Suitable glazing and shading tailored to the room also help to harmonise light, glare and heat protection. This makes a noticeable difference in everyday life, especially with large areas of glass, while also reducing air conditioning costs, for example. Comprehensive system planning ensure the perfect combination of design, heath protection and maximised daylight.

How do you integrate sun shading into newbuilds?

In newbuild projects, sun shading can be ideally incorporated into the architectural design from the outset and precisely tailored to windows, sliding doors and the layout of the living space. This early planning allows for the selection of systems that harmoniously combine heat protection, screening and modern design. Depending on individual requirements, options include textile shades, external blinds or traditional roller shutters. The concept becomes particularly efficient through automated functions that can be integrated into the building management system. This helps maintain a balanced indoor climate throughout the year and noticeably reduces a house’s cooling load in summer.

How can you control sun shading with a smart home system?

Sun shading can be controlled automatically, so you don’t have to constantly adjust the shading. Depending on the system, external blinds, roller shutters and textile sun shading solutions can move independently into a suitable position depending on the weather, position of the sun or pre-set times. This helps to reduce overheating and allows the screening and glare protection to be adjusted to suit the time of day. To this end, Schüco connects automation components via Building Skin Control, so that you can operate them via an app too. This is especially practical when you have large areas of glass and changing levels of sunlight, or if convenience is important. This makes shading simple to plan, convenient and much easier to use in everyday life.

What are the options for retrofitting sun shading in existing windows?

For existing windows, the best options are solutions that can be integrated without requiring major alterations to the building envelope. Depending on the situation, these include internal or external sun shading systems, as well as textile solutions for screening, glare protection and heat protection. This approach can also significantly improve your quality of life in areas with large glass surfaces and sliding doors. It is important that the chosen solution is compatible with the window, the façade and the desired level of transparency or blackout. In existing buildings, the aim is therefore often to strike a good balance between effectiveness, design and retrofitting feasibility. In this way, sun shading can be implemented effectively and comfortably, even retrospectively.
