A vertical awning for the balcony is a clever solution if you want aesthetic and functional protection from heat, glare and wind. Especially on south-facing balconies, vertical sun protection contributes significantly to the feel-good factor. For many, the balcony is an important retreat in the fresh air. It should therefore be possible to stay there at all times, regardless of the heat. This is possible with the wind-stable ROMA vertical awnings. They can be installed to save space and adapted to individual design ideas.

Vertical awnings provide effective privacy and sun protection and are ideal for balcony sides and fronts.
External sun protection stops heat on the balcony and in the interior before it hits the window glass

Vertical awnings (also known as Textile Screens ) are external sun protection systems that stop the sun's rays before they hit the glazing. In this way, they effectively prevent the interior from heating up excessively and ensure a pleasant indoor climate. They are available in various designs and are either attached directly to the façade as Front-Mounted Textile Screens or are permanently installed above the window as Top-Mounted Textile Screens.
In contrast to classic folding arm awnings, the curtain on vertical awnings runs vertically downwards and is guided either in lateral guide rails or via cable tensioners. The textile sun protection provides reliable protection from low sun, lateral light incidence and prying eyes. At the same time - depending on the choice of fabric - the view to the outside is maintained.
Vertical awnings can not only be used on windows and glass fronts as an effective sun protection solution. They also serve as heat and glare protection on balconies. For this purpose, they are mounted vertically on the balcony parapet or façade - either all around or only on selected sides.
Vertical awnings offer the same practical benefits on balconies as they do indoors. They prevent unpleasant heat and protect against unwanted views and annoying glare. They are also wind-resistant up to 120 km/h and effectively stop draughts and strong gusts. This means that the balcony remains a cozy part of the living space even on windy autumn days.
Equipping your balcony with modern vertical awnings not only enhances the appearance of your home's outdoor area, but also benefits from several practical advantages.
The sun can be a nuisance not only from above, but also from the side. A vertical awning on the balcony is ideal as lateral sun protection that also provides more privacy. The fabric curtain restricts the view of the balcony from outside, either as an opaque unit or as a transparent curtain. So you can enjoy your time in your little oasis of well-being undisturbed.

Thanks to Zip technology, vertical awnings from ROMA are wind-resistant up to 120 km/h. This means they remain stable even in stormy weather and allow you to enjoy relaxing moments on the balcony even in windy conditions.
Modern Textile Screens offer both transparency and protection. Depending on the type of fabric, you can see out through the Fabrics while maintaining privacy. With the large ROMA color selection for Textile Screens, the sun protection can also be aesthetically designed and flexibly adapted to the facade design. Choose the shade color individually to set color accents or match the fabrics to the box, guide rail and end rod.
Depending on the design, a vertical awning is installed directly on the façade. This makes it easy to retrofit Textile Screens if required and integrate them into buildings with different structural requirements. ROMA offers Front-Mounted Textile Screens for retrofitting, which can be optimally adapted to the installation situation.
To maximize living comfort on the balcony, the blinds of the vertical awnings can be easily opened and closed.
They can be operated either
electrically via push-button or radio remote control
smart via app, weather sensor or automatic timer
Tip: Integrate the vertical awning into your ROMA Smart Home to automatically adjust the sun protection to the position of the sun.

Vertical awnings protect against wind, heat, glare and prying eyes. On hot summer days, the sun protection not only improves the climate on the balcony, but also prevents the living space behind it from heating up.
The choice of Textile Screens determines whether the sun protection is opaque or whether the view to the outside is maintained. This also determines how strong the protection against unwanted glances is.
ROMA vertical awnings can be controlled manually, electrically, via app or sensor. With a combination of ROMA Smart Home and weather sensors or timers, sun protection becomes an intelligent enrichment for your home.
