Outdoor · Glass shading
Under-glass awnings. Protected awning fabric, a discreet appearance beneath the glass.
Below the glazing, the awning stays protected from rain and dirt. This makes it an elegant solution when design and ease of maintenance are particularly important.
What defines this solution
Shading that blends into the roof architecture.
Under-glass awnings operate beneath the glazing, where they are protected and less directly exposed to the weather. They reduce glare and solar radiation. However, their heat-reducing effect comes into play later than that of external shading.

The benefits for you
More than a product. A difference in everyday life.
Protected from the weather
The fabric and mechanisms sit beneath the glass, with less exposure to rain and dirt.
Discreet integration
The cassette, guide rails and fabric can be visually matched to the roof structure.
Glare & sun protection
Reduces direct sunlight and makes the space beneath the glass more comfortable.
Convenience
Motorisation and radio control make roof shading practical for everyday use.
The right direction
Beneath the glass, the fabric stays protected and the overall appearance is particularly discreet.
Under-glass awnings do not reduce heat as early as external shading, but are often the most elegant fabric shading option for glass roofs and are also easy to maintain.

Systems for different requirements.
The system names make it easier to find your way around, including in manufacturers’ documentation. Together, we determine which option suits your space, architecture and intended use.

ARNEX
Flexible conservatory shading for different glazed roof sections and architectural configurations.
PLANIGRAPH expertise
Compare systems. Plan the right solution.
Under-glass awnings are particularly attractive when the fabric needs to remain sheltered and the mechanism should blend discreetly into the roof structure.
The system names help you find your way around – including later in the manufacturer’s catalogue. The installation conditions, use, size, wind exposure and desired features determine which version is technically suitable.
Design & comfort
Sheltered from rain – with carefully planned protection against glare and heat.
Weather protection
Beneath the glass, the fabric and mechanism are significantly less directly exposed to rain and dirt.
Appearance
The cassette and guide rails can be positioned close to the roof structure.
Light levels
The fabric’s colour and transparency have a particularly strong influence on the lighting ambience beneath the roof.
Retrofitting
Clearances, crossbeams and motor position determine whether an existing glass roof is suitable.
More perspectives
Materials, architecture and use change the overall effect.
Different installation settings show how the solution looks on a terrace, in a garden or alongside glazing, and which details matter during planning and design.
Planning
To ensure the solution works as intended once installed.
For outdoor products, architecture, weather, fixings and operation must all be considered together. We clarify these points before providing a quotation.

The questions that really matter before you decide.
Is under-glass shading less effective against heat?
Its heat-reducing effect comes into play later than that of an external awning, because the solar energy has already passed through the glass.
What is the advantage?
The fabric and mechanism are protected, the appearance is understated, and the system is less directly exposed to the weather.
Can it be retrofitted?
Yes, on many roof structures, provided the clearances, fixings and travel paths are suitable.
