Outdoor \u00b7 Glass shading<\/p>

Over-glass awnings. Stop heat before it passes through the glass.<\/h1>

External shading is an effective solution for conservatories and glass roofs when the aim is to intercept summer heat as early as possible.<\/p>

What defines this solution<\/p>

External shading works where heat builds up.<\/h2><\/div>

Over-glass awnings sit above the glazing. They reduce direct solar exposure before it heats up the glazed space and are also suitable for complex roof shapes.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

The benefits for you<\/p>

More than a product. A difference in everyday life.<\/h2>
01<\/span>

Thermally effective<\/h3>

Solar energy is intercepted before it reaches the glass.<\/p><\/article>

02<\/span>

Guided fabric<\/h3>

Tensioning and guide systems keep the fabric running smoothly and securely, even on sloping surfaces.<\/p><\/article>

03<\/span>

Special shapes<\/h3>

Depending on the system, hipped roofs, sloping sections and more complex roof shapes can be shaded.<\/p><\/article>

04<\/span>

Can be automated<\/h3>

Motorised operation, radio control and automatic weather controls ensure that the shading responds in good time.<\/p><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n

The right direction<\/p>

Shade from the outside before the glass heats up.<\/h2><\/div>

For conservatories and glass roofs, over-glass shading is the most thermally effective fabric solution. The guides and fabric tension must be precisely matched to the roof geometry.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

PLANIGRAPH expertise<\/p>

Compare systems. Plan the right solution.<\/h2>

For extensive glazed areas, external shading is often the best choice for thermal performance. The key is to ensure that the guides, fabric tension and wind protection suit the roof geometry.<\/p>

The system names help you find your way around the range and, later on, the manufacturer's catalogue. The technically suitable version depends on the installation setting, intended use, size, wind exposure and desired features.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n

Design & comfort<\/p>

With above-glass awnings, the mechanism is key to keeping the fabric smooth and stable over time.<\/h2>

Thermal performance<\/h3>

Direct solar energy is intercepted before it reaches the glazing \u2013 a clear advantage for glass surfaces exposed to strong sunlight.<\/p><\/article>

Guides<\/h3>

Guide rails, counter-tensioning and fabric tension must operate in a controlled manner, even on sloping surfaces.<\/p><\/article>

Wind & weather<\/h3>

External systems are more exposed to the elements. Sensors and the manufacturer's operating limits must therefore be factored into the planning.<\/p><\/article>

Maintenance access<\/h3>

The motor, cassette and guides must remain accessible for servicing and cleaning after installation.<\/p><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n

More perspectives<\/p>

Materials, architecture and use change the overall effect.<\/h2><\/div>

Different installation settings show how the solution looks on a terrace, in a garden or alongside a glazed surface, and which details matter when planning and designing it.<\/p><\/div>

Frequently asked questions<\/p>

The questions that really matter before you decide.<\/h2>\n
Why does external shading provide better protection against heat?<\/summary>

Because a greater proportion of solar energy is intercepted before it heats the glazing and the interior.<\/p><\/details>

Can an over-glass awning be fitted to a glass roof from another manufacturer?<\/summary>

Retrofitting may be possible, depending on the system, panel layout and fixing method. This needs to be assessed on site.<\/p><\/details>

How important is automatic wind control?<\/summary>

It can be very useful for exposed external systems, but it does not remove the need to observe their structural operating limits.<\/p><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n
