Vertical awning for windows – heat, privacy and sun protection in one
by Richard Koch
A vertical awning is an external sunshade for windows with a UV- and weather-resistant fabric covering. Its advantages include its modern design and the various benefits of the fabric covering compared to a standard roller shutter.
Retrofitting vertical awnings – ideal for tenants & owners
Easy installation without drilling
The CLIP'N'SHADE vertical awning is installed without drilling into the window or facade. It is attached using a patented clamping system, which can be adapted to almost any window thanks to telescopic guide rails and adjustable clips.
A cheaper alternative to roller shutters
The vertical awning costs approximately €200, which is significantly cheaper than a custom-made roller blind. The window awning is available in widths up to 140cm and heights up to 220cm.
No structural changes required – ideal for rental apartments & condominium associations
Since the CLIP'N'SHADE vertical awning is attached without drilling, it is the ideal solution for tenants and owners of condominiums.
Removable without leaving any residue – no trouble with the landlord
Even when moving house, the window awning can be easily dismantled. In most cases, the sunshade can simply be sold to the next tenants or, if the windows are the right size, taken to the new apartment.
Advantages of a vertical awning at a glance
Effective heat protection in summer – even with large window areas
The special heat-protection fabric blocks over 90% of the sun's heat energy before it even reaches the window. Because the vertical awning is mounted externally, the apartment remains pleasantly cool even in the height of summer.
Translucent fabrics – no need to darken.
The transparent fabric of the CLIP'N'SHADE window awning is ideal for living spaces where you spend a lot of time during the day. The heat-reflective fabric creates a very pleasant lighting atmosphere and allows sufficient light into the room, eliminating the need for artificial light. Despite this, the translucent fabric provides just as much heat protection as, for example, a blackout roller shutter.
Modern design – color-matched to the facade upon request
The slim, cubic cassette, the subtly gray fabric, and the minimalist guide rails make this functional shading system a real eye-catcher. The retrofit vertical awning is available in white (RAL 9016) and anthracite (RAL 7016), but can also be powder-coated in any RAL color upon request (at an additional cost).
Glare and privacy protection included
A vertical awning is also useful in winter. It not only protects against the heat in summer, but also against glare when the sun is lower in the sky in winter. This makes a vertical awning a good choice for offices as well. Choosing an opaque fabric provides additional privacy. This option also has a blackout effect, making it ideal for use in bathrooms or bedrooms.
Installing a vertical awning yourself – easier than you think
Quick & tool-free assembly
The vertical awning for windows, which requires no drilling, is perfect for all DIY enthusiasts. Thanks to the simple clamp mounting and the clear assembly instructions (see also the assembly video on this page), the vertical awning can be installed on the outside even without professional experience. Neither the window frame nor the window seal will be damaged in the process.
