Vertical awning for windows - heat, privacy and sun protection in one

A vertical awning is an external sunshade for windows with a UV and weather-resistant fabric blind. The main advantages are the modern design and the various benefits of the fabric blind compared to a normal roller shutter. 

Retrofitting a vertical awning

Retrofitting vertical awnings - ideal for tenants & owners

Simple installation without drilling

The CLIP'N'SHADE vertical awning is installed without drilling into the window or façade. It is attached using a patented clamping system, which can be adapted to almost any window using telescopic guide rails and adjustable clips. 

Favourable alternative to roller shutters

The vertical awning costs around €200, which is significantly cheaper than a made-to-measure roller blind. The window awning is available up to a width of 140cm and a height of 220cm.

No structural alterations - ideal for rented flats & condominiums

As the CLIP'N'SHADE vertical awning is attached without drilling, it is the ideal solution for tenants and owners of owner-occupied flats. 

Can be removed without leaving any residue - no hassle with the landlord

The window awning can also be easily dismantled when moving house. In most cases, you can simply sell the awning on to the next tenant or take it with you to your new home if the windows are the right size. 

Advantages of a vertical awning at a glance

Effective heat protection in summer - even with large window areas

The special 90% heat protection fabric keeps the sun's heat energy away from the window. Because the vertical awning is mounted outside, the home remains pleasantly cool even at the height of summer. 

Translucent fabrics - no darkening necessary

The transparent fabric of the window awning from CLIP'N'SHADE is ideal for living spaces where you spend a lot of time during the day. The heat protection fabric creates a very pleasant lighting atmosphere and lets enough light into the room so that no artificial light is needed. Nevertheless, the translucent fabric protects against heat just as well as a darkening roller shutter, for example.

Modern design - matching the colour of the façade on request

The slim, cubic cassette, the discreet grey fabric colouring and the minimalist guide rails make the functional shading a real eye-catcher. The vertical awning for retrofitting is available in white (RAL 9016) and anthracite (RAL 7016), but can be powder-coated in all RAL colours on request (surcharge).

Glare & privacy protection included

A vertical awning is also useful in winter. It not only protects against the heat in summer, but also against glare when the sun is lower in winter. Vertical awnings are therefore also a good choice for offices. If you choose the opaque fabric, you also protect yourself from prying eyes. This version also has a darkening effect, which makes it ideal for use in the bathroom or bedroom.

Advantages of a vertical awning

Installing vertical awnings yourself - easier than you think

Quick & tool-free assembly

The vertical awning for windows without drilling is perfect for all DIY fans. Thanks to the simple clamp fastening and the clear installation instructions (see also the installation video on this page), the vertical awning can be installed outside without specialist knowledge. Neither the window frame nor the rubber seal of the window will be damaged.
