A transparent vertical awning is an external sun protection system that runs vertically in front of windows and closes. In contrast to classic shading systems, it relies on translucent fabrics. This means that even when the sun protection is lowered, light continues to enter the interior and the view to the outside is maintained.

Despite the transparent material, vertical awnings, also known as Textile Screens, provide effective protection against glare, UV radiation and prying eyes. This makes them ideal for creating a pleasant temperature in all living spaces that do not need to be completely darkened.

Vertical awnings are mounted on the outside in front of the window and can be used in both new buildings and renovations. The versatile areas of application include

• Floor-to-ceiling windows

• Terrace roofs

• conservatories

• Glass façades or all-glass corners

Top-Mounted Textile Screens are ideal for minimalist façades and modern new-build projects with large windows. They are installed in the building opening directly above the window, so that the sun protection and window merge into a seamless unit that does not interrupt the façade appearance.

Front-Mounted Textile Screens are ideal for simple renovation projects, patio roofs or all-glass corners, as their quick installation in front of the window means no intervention in the masonry is required. Their round, square or plasterable boxes integrate aesthetically into the façade and are suitable for all architectural designs.

ROMA Façade Textile Screens are ideal as a sophisticated solution for large façades. Developed for modern mullion and transom façades, they offer highly effective solar shading and blend seamlessly into the look of all modern façade systems.

1. Privacy and Sun Protection with a Clear View

A key advantage of a transparent vertical awning is that it provides comfortable privacy and sun protection while maintaining a clear view of the outdoors. This allows you to enjoy your entire surroundings—whether nature, your garden, or the neighborhood—at all times.

2. Natural Sunlight

Thanks to their transparent fabric, modern vertical awnings combine UV protection with natural light. Depending on the fabric’s light transmission factor, sunlight continues to enter the interior, enhancing living comfort and optimizing energy efficiency.

3. Summer Heat Protection

Especially during the warmer months, vertical awnings offer effective protection against excessive heat gain from outside. Despite the transparent fabric, they prevent window surfaces from heating up unchecked without blocking natural daylight. A real contribution to summer heat protection and living comfort.

4. Design Variety

Thanks to their high-quality appearance, ROMA vertical awnings can be harmoniously integrated into any architectural style. With ROMA’s extensive color palette, the cassette, guide rails, and Textile Screens can be freely combined—for a uniform façade appearance or colorful accents. It’s also important to note that light-colored fabrics reflect sunlight particularly effectively, while dark colors improve the view outside.

5. Wind Resistance and Weather Resistance

Thanks to their innovative zip technology, ROMA vertical awnings retain their shape even in strong winds (up to 120 km/h) and protect windows and facades from weather damage. This makes them the ideal choice for exposed facades.

6. Smart Home Integration

Whether via app, timer, or sensor: Controlling transparent vertical awnings can be easily automated. As part of a ROMA Smart Home system , the sun protection can be conveniently raised and lowered using your smartphone, even when you’re not at home. When connected to timers or weather sensors, the sun protection closes automatically at the most efficient times.

A transparent vertical awning combines modern design with functional sun protection, without sacrificing daylight or the view to the outside. ROMA Textile Screens offer a tailor-made solution with intelligent control and high-quality materials in various transparency levels.
