There are several good reasons why it makes sense to integrate sun shading solutions into your home or to update existing solutions.

Here are 6 reasons you should consider in your planning:

So modern sun shading solutions can help save energy, improve comfort and convenience in your home, protect your privacy, and increase the value of your property. Investing in such measures is therefore a worthwhile consideration when modernising your home.

The use of customised products for renovations and refurbishments offers a range of benefits which can help deliver better results.

Customised products such as WAREMA's sun shading solutions ensure a perfect fit, an individual design, high-grade materials, fulfilment of specific requirements, and professional advice. This way you can be sure that your renovation and refurbishment projects will meet your needs and deliver the best possible results.

WAREMA external venetian blinds, roller shutters and window awnings mean you are always on the safe side in your renovating and modernising pursuits! Sit back and enjoy your free time. Your new external sun shading system closes automatically – even when you're on holiday. Depending on the installation situation, different types of external sun shading systems are used. Each of them has different strengths. Use our modernisation guide to find which solution(s) is most ideal for your retrofitting or refurbishing needs.

They combine modern design with the highest degree of functionality. External venetian blinds allow you to create an individual light ambience inside and characterise the appearance of the facade outside. At the same time, they contribute significantly to a building's energy efficiency.

Front-mounted external venetian blinds score particularly well in modernisation projects.

For the greatest design variety, panels that are rectangular, half-round, square or that can be can be fully plastered are available for these blinds. No additional box fastening is necessary and thermal bridges are reliably avoided with front-mounted external venetian blinds, so that there is no increased heating requirement at the window. Another advantage: WAREMA front-mounted external venetian blinds are compatible with WAREMA front-mounted roller shutters in terms of both installation and optics, and can thus be combined for an ideal aesthetic.

A WAREMA front-mounted roller shutter is an excellent option for providing your home with effective sun shading during renovation or refurbishment work.

Front-mounted roller shutters offer these advantages during renovation:

• No problems with thermal bridges and sound insulation values thanks to external box
• Many options for individual design
• Perfect combination with front-mounted external venetian blind possible thanks to identical box shapes
• Also suitable for retrofitting without replacing the windows
• Can be used irrespective of building construction type

Front-mounted roller shutters therefore not only ensure comfortable temperatures inside the house, but also improve privacy and reduce outside noise. In addition, the security of your property is increased. A WAREMA front-mounted roller shutter can either be seamlessly integrated into the facade or placed as a visual highlight on the outside of the house, which also enhances the appearance of your property.

The WAREMA renovation roller shutters, RE-RO for short, are a practical solution in terms of energy efficiency for reusing existing lintel boxes. For these top-mounted roller shutters, the box is fitted onto the window from above, and the box and window are installed together – perfect for your renovations and new buildings. Both components can then be installed in a single step. The facade and inside plaster remain largely unaffected by the replacement.

The renovation roller shutter is available in various versions, including as a complete system with integrated insect screen and pollen protection. Roller shutters for renovations offer effective heat insulation.

Shaft roller shutters are extremely easy to install for renovations. The existing shafts on the facade are used for this. Thanks to its Minimax guide rails, the shaft roller shutter blends into your facade very well. And you can choose from a wide range of colours and finishes.

There are several reasons why furnishing external sun shading systems such as external venetian blinds or roller shutters with an automatic control, particularly with regard to energy-saving refurbishments and senior-friendly living, is worthwhile. Modern radio systems such as WMS can also be retrofitted and can be integrated into modern Smart Home applications.

For starters, automatic control can help reduce energy consumption by decreasing the amount of heat and sunlight entering the building in the summer and increasing it in the winter. This can reduce the need for heating and air conditioning and lead to significant savings in energy costs.

Automatic control can also make you feel more comfortable at home. The sun shading system can be automatically adjusted to the insolation intensity in order to reduce glare and make the room temperature more comfortable. This can be particularly advantageous for elderly people who, for one thing, may be more susceptible to heat or cold stress and, for another, may have less strength to raise or lower the units themselves using the standard belt.

Finally, an automatic control can also increase safety, as it automatically takes over the opening and closing of the sun shading system. This not only protects the units, e.g., in the event of a strong storm, but also simulates the presence of residents, making it appear as if they're home, even if they are on holiday.

Using an automatic control for external sun shading systems when refurbishing for energy-saving purposes and/or modernising for age-related purposes is a worthwhile investment that can help lower your energy bill, increase your comfort and safety, and provide a higher quality of living overall.
