Sunshade automatic control –– Benefits for home and office

 What are automatic sunshades?

Automatic sunshades are a modern method for managing the sunlight admitted into a building. Automatic sunshades operate according preset schedules or respond to the outdoor conditions detected by the sensors. Automatic sunshades adjust automatically to changing weather conditions, like sunlight exposure and indoor temperature.

There is more: sunshades like exterior blinds and screens can be controlled via mobile apps, hardware remote controls, or by integration with smart home management systems. This provides you with full control over the sunscreens that can be customised remotely, from any place in the world. Modern sunshades are available in a variety of styles and colours, and choosing the right system really depends on the needs of the user and the type of building.

Why buy automatic sunshades?

Sunshades are an investment that provides numerous benefits to homes and offices. First of all, they provide thermal comfort, protecting rooms from excessive heat on hot days. With proper shading, they help maintain a stable indoor temperature, which saves on costs for air conditioning and heating. In summer they reduce the effect of exposure to the sun’s heat, and in winter they protect against indoor heat losses, which means lower energy bills.

Another advantage of sunshades is that they can protect interior features, like furniture and other materials, from fading in the sun. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause upholstery, carpets and curtains to fade, which may demand their frequent replacement. With sunshades, you protect the interior of your home from harmful UV radiation, allowing you to keep the rooms looking neat for longer.

Sunshades are also an excellent privacy barriers for home interiors, preventing unwanted people from peeking inside. In a home office, they can improve the focus on work and reduce glare from computer displays.

Finally, automatic sunshades help you to increase the value of your property. Modern systems make buildings more attractive in terms of visual value and functionalities. The increase in energy efficiency and comfort makes the building more desirable on the used property market.

Most popular sunshade types

Sunshade types can be divided into a variety of solutions that combine functionality with aesthetic value, adapting to the needs of users and the characteristics of the building.

• Exterior blinds are one of the most popular sunshading solutions. Their design allows you to control the sunlight illuminating the room, so you can create optimal lighting and thermal conditions. The aluminium slats are durable, lightweight and weatherproof for long-lasting performance.
• Exterior screens are a modern option that provides effective protection indoors from excessive heat without restricting visibility to the outside. Made of performance fabrics, such as PVC-coated polyester weave, they are moisture and UV resistant. With different levels of light transmission, the screens enable individual adaptation of sunlight exposure to your preferences.

• SkyTwin, a revolutionary combination of roller shutters and screens in one product, usually sees applications in large windows and commercial buildings. The SkyTwin has two layers of material, one transparent and one opaque. This innovative solution allows the reduction in sunlight admission and the blacking out of the interior, as preferred.

What to look for when buying automatic sunshades?

When choosing the right solution, it makes sense to consider several factors which determine the efficiency and durability of the sunshades.

• Materials

One of the popular solutions used in private homes and public buildings are aluminium slat sunshades, which feature high durability and good resistance to weather conditions. Aluminium provides durability with an aesthetic appearance, which is important in modern buildings. The options available include blackout (opaque) fabric sunshades.

• Thermal and acoustic insulation

High-quality sunshades, especially those made of aluminium, can have provide extra insulating properties that help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature while reducing the transmission of outdoor noise. Make sure the system you choose meets these criteria.

• Sensors and control technologies

Before you decide to buy a specific solution, explore what technologies and sensors are used with the automatic sunshades. Premium automatic sunshade systems feature integrated sunlight sensors that respond to changing weather conditions, and allow the sunshades to be operated remotely via an app or remote control hardware.

• Smart home system integration

If you already have a smart home or building management system, make sure the sunshades you choose are compatible with it. This way you will be able to fully control everything in your home or office, and the automatic sunshades remain part of a coherent network of smart devices.
