ROMA supports the Roller Shutters and Sun Protection Day 2026

Roller Shutters and Sun Protection Day will take place across Germany on March 20, 2026. Under the motto "Sun shading is climate protection", specialist companies will use this day of action to draw attention to the importance of external sun shading for energy efficiency, living comfort and sustainable building.

As one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality sun shading systems in Germany, ROMA is also supporting the initiative and demonstrating why Roller Shutters, External Venetian Blinds and Textile Screens play a central role in sustainable buildings today.

More information about external sun shading:

Rising temperatures, more frequent heatwaves and rising energy costs are increasingly presenting buildings with new challenges. Although particularly large window areas provide plenty of daylight, they can also cause the interior to heat up considerably.

The most effective solution: external solar shading that stops the sun's rays before they hit the window glass. This means that significantly less heat enters the building. External solar shading makes a decisive contribution to thermal insulation in summer. It reduces the heating of interior spaces and can therefore significantly reduce the use of energy-intensive air conditioning systems.

Even simple measures such as automated shading or intelligent control according to the position of the sun can noticeably improve the indoor climate. At the same time, the energy requirement for cooling is reduced - an important building block for sustainable buildings. The Roller Shutters and Sun Protection Day 2026 of the R+S trade association draws attention to this.

A particular trend in modern sun shading is solar-powered sun shading. Systems with an integrated solar drive use a small solar panel to supply the motor directly with energy. This means that solar Roller Shutters, solar External Venetian Blinds or solar vertical blinds work independently of the power grid - without any additional wiring.

This technology offers great advantages, especially when retrofitting existing buildings: No chiseling work or new power connections are required, so the sun shading can be installed quickly and cleanly. At the same time, users benefit from a high level of operating convenience, as solar-powered systems can also be controlled by radio, app or Smart Home.

External sun shading is becoming increasingly important in new builds and energy-efficient refurbishments. As well as improving the indoor climate, it makes a significant contribution to the energy efficiency of buildings.

Heating and cooling costs can be reduced in the long term through an intelligent combination of windows, insulation and sun shading. This makes sun shading an important component of sustainable building concepts and modern architecture.

Sun shading systems are increasingly being integrated into Smart Home solutions. Sensors detect the position of the sun, temperature or wind and control the systems automatically.

ROMA works together with established partners such as Somfy TaHoma, Loxone, KNX, elero and digitalSTROM . Roller Shutters, External Venetian Blinds or Textile Screens react automatically to weather conditions and ensure optimum light and temperature conditions at all times.

If you want to take the Roller Shutters and Sun Protection Day as an opportunity to find out about modern solutions, you should rely on professional planning.

ROMA products are only available from qualified ROMA specialist partners. They support building owners, modernizers and architects in selecting the right solution - tailored to the architecture, installation situation and personal requirements.
