Vertical awning mounted outside: The most important things in brief

Efficient heat protection: Exterior vertical awnings significantly reduce solar heat gain.
Privacy protection in daylight: Depending on the Fabrics, vertical awnings offer a view to the outside and privacy protection at the same time.
Wind-resistant up to 120 km/h: Thanks to Zip technology, ROMA vertical awnings with side guides are particularly resistant on the outside.
Wide range of design options: large selection of colors and fabrics to match the façade design.
Simple control: can be controlled manually, electrically or as a Smart Home system.

What is an external vertical awning?

A vertical awning, which is mounted on the outside, is a textile sunshade that is fitted vertically in front of the window. Unlike classic awnings or Roller Shutters, the daylight is partially retained, while heat and glare are effectively reduced. At ROMA, this is achieved using high-quality Textile Screens, which are available in various transparency levels or degrees of opening.

External vertical awnings offer significant advantages over internal systems. For example, they stop the sun's rays before they can even heat up the window glass. This improves thermal insulation in summer and contributes to energy savings.

How does a vertical awning with external side guide work?

ROMA Textile Screens can be installed outside as vertical awnings with side guides. Fabrics are guided over the entire height in side rails. The proven zip technology ensures a tightly stretched fabric with no light gaps and high wind stability. Front-Mounted Textile Screens, Top-Mounted Textile Screens and Façade Textile Screens are available depending on the installation situation.

All systems can be equipped electrically and optionally with a Smart Home connection. They can be conveniently controlled via app, radio or sensor technology - depending on the position of the sun or weather conditions, for example.

Advantages of a vertical awning outside the window

A vertical awning on the outside of the window offers you many advantages:

1. effective sun and heat protection: due to the external positioning, most of the heat radiation is intercepted in front of the glass. This significantly reduces the heating up of rooms.

2. privacy protection with simultaneous transparency: depending on the Textile Screens fabrics - e.g. with an opening factor of 3 % - you retain a view to the outside, while you cannot be seen from the outside.

3. glare-free daylight: Textile Screens filter sunlight and avoid direct glare, e.g. at the workplace or in the living room.

4. modern façade design: The ROMA color harmony allows Textile Screens to be individually matched to window frames, plaster or other sun protection systems.

5. large areas can be realized: Thanks to the stable zip guide, even large windows can be shaded with external vertical awnings.

Modern façade design with externally mounted vertical awnings

External vertical awnings blend harmoniously into the clear lines of modern architecture. They are installed in front of the window so that the interior design remains unchanged and design freedom is preserved.

Exterior vertical awnings unfold their full potential, especially with large areas of glazing: they provide efficient shading without detracting from the minimalist appearance of the façade and at the same time ensure a pleasant indoor climate.

Comfort and safety in everyday life

The combination of sun shading and smart control not only creates more living comfort, but also increases security. Automatic time programs or integration into Smart Home systems allow presence simulations to be implemented - an important aspect for burglar resistance. In addition, modern control systems react to changes in the weather and automatically retract the vertical awning in strong winds.
