FAQ about sun shading & pergolas
1. how wind and weather resistant are modern shading systems?
Depending on the version, wind stability up to 92 km/h (wind class 3), weather-resistant materials (aluminum, stainless steel), smart sensor technology with automatic retraction or slat regulation.
2. how much energy can I save with professional solar shading?
Up to 45 % less cooling energy required. External systems reduce room temperature by up to 8 °C. Smart control maximizes the effect.
3. which solution is suitable for small or complex areas?
Awnings and modular pergolas can be individually adapted to floor plans, roof terraces, gaps and special requests.
4. can I retrofit and automate shading?
Yes – many systems can also be retrofitted to existing patios and automated with an app, radio or sensors.
5. how costly is maintenance and care?
Awnings and pergolas are virtually maintenance-free; occasional cleaning of the fabric/slats is sufficient. Sensors and motors are checked as part of the service.
6. is integration into smart home systems possible?
Yes, all modern systems are compatible with common smart home protocols and can be centrally controlled or automated.
