Vertical awning - sun protection & privacy protection for windows, balconies & patios
A vertical awning offers reliable heat protection and more privacy - directly outside the window, balcony or on the patio. Installation is flexible: in the traditional way with screws or conveniently without drilling using a clamp. Made to measure, weatherproof and wind-resistant - simply upgrade your home and enjoy more comfort in summer.
What is a vertical awning?
A vertical awning - also known as a vertical blind - is an external sun shading system that is lowered vertically in front of the window or on the balcony or patio. Unlike a classic roller blind, it sits on the outside and stops the sun's rays before they reach the glass. This ensures that your rooms heat up significantly less in summer. At the same time, the awning provides reliable privacy protection so that you can feel undisturbed in your home. Whether transparent for plenty of light or opaque for more privacy - a vertical awning combines functionality with living comfort.

Different types of vertical awnings
Vertical awning for windows
Ideal for retrofitting directly to the window. Mounting on the outside keeps the heat outside before it enters the room. Particularly practical: many models can also be fixed without drilling using a clamp - perfect for rented flats.
Vertical awning for balcony & terrace
For larger areas, there are stable vertical awnings that are windproof and weatherproof. They not only provide shade and cooler temperatures, but also create more privacy when sitting outside. This turns the balcony or patio into additional living space in summer.
Transparent or opaque - depending on requirements
Transparent fabrics let in daylight but provide reliable protection from UV rays. They are suitable if you want to continue looking outside without being dazzled.

Mounting a vertical awning - with screws or without drilling
Vertical awning without drilling (clamp mounting)
A vertical awning can also be installed without drilling. Thanks to special clamp brackets, it is simply attached to the window frame - without any tools or damage. This solution is perfect for rented flats or if you want the flexibility to remove the awning again. Installation only takes a few minutes, so you can retrofit your windows quickly and easily.
Advantages of mounting without drilling:
- No tools required
- Window frame remains intact
- Ideal for rented flats
- Quick retrofitting possible
Vertical awning with screws
If you want extra stability, opt for classic installation with screws. The awning is screwed firmly to the façade, balcony or above the window. This variant is particularly suitable for larger areas that need to be especially wind-resistant - for example on the patio or on wide balconies.
Advantages of mounting with screws:
-
Very stable & durable
-
Also suitable for larger areas
-
Particularly wind-resistant
-
Durable solution for house & terrace
