The sun can't be controlled, but it can be managed. Over the decades, WAREMA has amassed extensive expertise in all aspects of SunLight Management. Today, we are THE SunLight Manager. Our intelligent solutions are important components of climate-friendly building envelopes all around the world. The goal behind all of our developments is the optimal control and utilisation of the effects of solar energy on residential and commercial buildings while taking every physical, planning-related and project-specific factor into account. By doing so, we improve the energy efficiency of buildings, raise the value of the properties and increase quality of life at the same time.
A home is a stage that we can design to suit our own lives, and Ute Laatz has fulfilled her long-held wish to design her own home. In just four months, she completely renovated a three-apartment building in the city of Neuss by the Lower Rhine. Facing southwest, the 1920s brick building basks in the sun all day long, especially in summer. A total of eight matte black, smart-controlled WAREMA front-mounted awnings with drop arms protect the windows and facade from the heat, while their Mediterranean look evokes memories of strolling through Italian alleys.
Individual sun shading systems create a wonderful ambience inside and out. In this single-family house in Viersen, external venetian blinds, roller shutters and a Terrea patio awning ensure true well-being for the residents.
A couple from Munich searched for a unique property and finally found a garden flat with a pool near Lake Starnberg. The couple completely renovated the flat and redesigned it with the help of a sophisticated floor plan concept, select vintage furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows. The remodelling work took a good year. Today, the flat is characterised by sophisticated details.
In 2019, a Passive House was built in Los Angeles to the highest standards. The architect and owner made the informed choice of the newest "Made in Germany" technology.
The particular feature of this house is the integral planning concept: the result is a home with visionary, integral energy design and excellent user comfort.
While planning this passive house, it was clear that the natural energy resources of the location, especially free solar energy, had to be utilised to their full potential. Centrally controlled WAREMA external venetian blinds ensure effective sunlight management, while the covered patios are stylishly shaded with custom manufactured Perea pergola awnings.
External sun shading systems not only create the perfect balance of sun and shade – they can also add a stylish flair to your home. Window awnings in particular make a great impact as an external textile screen for shading large window surfaces in terms of design and functionality.
A very special construction project in southern Munich is an example of just how unique the design of external sun shading systems can be. The combination of textile fabric and a unique awning with a large-format print creates the perfect illusion of a natural shadow from surrounding trees on the external facade of a building in a quiet street lined with trees. An extravagant, perfect example of the possibilities that a tailor-made window awning can bring.
