Blackout systems and light protection: the most important facts in brief

  • Textile Screens as textile light protection combine darkening, privacy and thermal protection in one system

  • Ideal as light protection for interior windows, large areas of glazing or skylights

  • Weatherproof fabrics with zip technology for maximum wind stability (up to 120 km/h)

  • High level of operating convenience thanks to electric control or Smart Home integration

  • Individual design freedom thanks to numerous fabric variants and colors

  • Simple installation - possible with little drilling

What a modern darkening system must achieve

An effective blackout system not only regulates the light, but also ensures better temperatures without air conditioning, saves energy and provides a better quality of life. Choosing the right system plays a key role here.

Textile Screens offer decisive advantages here:

  • Darkening or transparency - depending on the Fabrics

  • Protection from overheating due to solar radiation

  • Glare protection at computer workstations

  • Privacy protection in daylight without a "darkened feeling"

  • Strong design alternative to light protection curtains or drapes

This makes Textile Screens a well thought-out solution for anyone who values functional light protection, modern design and a pleasant room climate.

What is light protection?

Light protection refers to all structural or technical measures that specifically reduce or direct the penetration of direct or diffuse sunlight. The aim is to create a glare-free, pleasantly tempered room atmosphere - without having to do without natural daylight.

Compared to classic pleated light protection systems or roller blinds as light protection, external Textile Screens offer clear advantages: they stop the sun's rays in front of the window glass, improve thermal insulation and integrate harmoniously into the façade in terms of both technology and design.

External light protection: why it is more efficient

Light protection for windows installed on the outside stops the sun's rays before they reach the glass - and is therefore much more efficient than internal systems. ROMA Textile Screens thus prevent rooms from overheating and actively contribute to thermal insulation in summer. This saves energy costs and increases living comfort.

Blackout systems from ROMA: the right solution for every window

Whether as light protection for classic windows or lift and slide doors: Textile Screens can be individually planned and adapted to almost any installation situation. With Zip technology, large surfaces can be realized as well as delicate solutions with minimal space requirements.

A particular advantage is that some variants, such as Front-Mounted Textile Screens, can be installed directly in front of the window. Unlike Top-Mounted Textile Screens, which are installed with the window, Front-Mounted Textile Screens allow light protection without major structural interventions in the facades of rental apartments, for example.

ROMA Textile Screens: Technology meets design

ROMA offers Textile Screens in three variants: as Front-Mounted Textile Screens, Top-Mounted Textile Screens or Façade Textile Screens. The optimum variant can be selected depending on the structural situation and architectural requirements.

All systems are characterized by:

  • High-quality weatherproof textile screen fabric

  • Wind stability up to 120 km/h thanks to integrated zip system

  • Durability thanks to high-tech "Made in Germany"

  • Optional integrated insect screen

  • Control via app, radio or sensor technology

  • Integration of the Textile Screens into the Smart Home

The ROMA color harmony also ensures that the light protection blends harmoniously into the façade design.

More than just a blackout system

Anyone looking for a modern blackout system will find ROMA Textile Screens a sustainable solution for optimum light protection. The combination of technology, convenience and design makes them the first choice for anyone who wants to effectively shade large window areas - without sacrificing daylight.
