Repair & maintenance
Retrofitted shading must suit the façade.
Retrofitted solar shading affects appearance, fixings, power supply and the connection to the window. We therefore assess the installation conditions as a whole.
- Assess the windows and façade
- Determine the system type and fixings

Frequently asked questions
Before your service appointment.
Can solar shading be retrofitted to existing windows?

Which systems are suitable?
Depending on your aim, a roller shutter, an external venetian blind, a fabric screen or other suitable systems may be options.
Can a motor be fitted directly?
Yes. Motorisation and controls should be matched to the power supply and the intended method of operation from the outset.
