Electric vertical awnings: Smart control types

Q: What is the advantage of an electric vertical awning over a manual one?

An electric vertical awning offers significantly more convenience and precision. It can be controlled at the touch of a button, remote control or app - even automatically if desired. As a result, it reacts independently to the position of the sun, wind or weather conditions and reliably protects the fabric and the technology.

Q: Can a vertical awning be retrofitted electrically on the outside?

Yes, many ROMA models are suitable for retrofitting in existing buildings. Thanks to modern wireless solutions, additional cabling is often not necessary. Your ROMA specialist partner will check on site which options make sense for your façade or patio.

Q: How wind-resistant is an electric vertical awning?

ROMA vertical awnings with Zip technology can withstand wind speeds of up to 120 km/h. The lateral rail guide fixes the fabric tightly and prevents flapping or tearing - even in strong gusts.

What is an electric vertical awning?

An electric vertical awning, also known as a Textile Screens, is a textile sun protection system that is mounted vertically in front of windows or glass facades. Unlike classic folding arm awnings, the vertical awning is guided in a rail guide or with cable tensioning - ideal for outdoor use. It is driven by an integrated electric motor that conveniently raises and lowers the Fabrics .

ROMA only uses high-quality rail-guided systems with a zip guide for special wind stability up to 120 km/h. This means that our made-to-measure electric vertical awnings are also suitable for exposed locations and very large window areas.

Vertical awnings: electrical control types at a glance

Modern electric vertical blinds can be operated in different ways - depending on your needs and the technical environment. From classic remote control to fully automatic Smart Home solutions, ROMA offers a wide range of control systems that combine convenience, efficiency and security.

Manual control via switch or remote control

Simpler systems are operated using a wall switch or handy radio remote control. This allows the awning to be extended and retracted at any time - conveniently from the interior. This type of control is particularly popular for retrofitting or as an entry-level solution for electric sun protection in outdoor areas.

Automatic timer: use the position of the sun and the rhythm of the day

Using a programmable timer, the vertical awning can be controlled automatically at set times. For example, it extends in the morning for sun protection and retracts again in the evening. The automatic timer can be easily adapted to individual daily routines and increases comfort and energy efficiency.

Automatic weather control: protection in wind and rain

Sensors for wind, rain and sun make the control system particularly intelligent. The awning retracts automatically in strong winds and extends again in intense sunlight. This protects the material and ensures that you are always optimally protected.

App control and Smart Home integration

Integrate your vertical awning electrically into existing Smart Home systems such as Somfy TaHoma, Loxone or KNX. Individual or multiple vertical awnings can be controlled via app, voice control or central panel - also in combination with Roller Shutters or External Venetian Blinds. The result is a holistic shading concept that combines design, convenience and efficiency.
