Protect and embellish − with functional awning fabrics

The choice of the awning covering determines the different protection properties of your awning as well as the light and colour ambience in the room. And since every winter garden, every window front or roof glazing requires different protection needs and should be designed optically matching the facade or the interior furnishing, the choice of awning fabrics is huge.

Aside from their special protection properties awning fabrics are real high tech products. With the help of the most different technologies fibres and texture are prepared for outdoor life, they must not lose their shining colours in the sunlight; they withstand highest mechanical loading due to high tensile strength and tearing strength and do not let rainwater enter their depths, but only partly use it to clean themselves.

Heat protection, light protection and visual shield are the most important tasks that are expected from a sun protection system. Partly also protection against rain and wind are to be mentioned. To make the right choice you should set priorities and get to the ideal awning fabric for your winter garden awning while following the respective selection criteria.

An awning used as sun protection above a glazing for example does not have to be water-proof or wind-resistant. Though, water-repellant fabrics constitute an improved look of your awning. In order to survive a strong wind gust without problems breathable textures are more suitable and additionally enable a better air circulation between glass and awning fabric. So-called screen fabrics, which dispose high translucence like a densely woven net, are the ideal shade-givers for winter gardens facing east or west.

However, winter gardens and glazings facing south need a reliable heat protection, which can be provided by special heat protection layers within the awning fabric. Here, also the colour choice is decisive for the protection against heat. A white awning reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat. Absorption and reflection values can also be varied independently from the colour so that your decorative desires do not necessarily depend on the function of the awning.

Nevertheless, with the colour selection you can effectively influence the light sphere in the room. Shining yellow, soft green or strong terra stress the natural character of a winter garden. Discreet grey, beige or cool blue optically contribute to a refreshing atmosphere in the room. And of course also stripes or other patterns and designs can be used as decorative elements. All that counts is your taste.
