An exterior screen is vertical exterior sun protection that is placed in front of the glass. This blocks sunlight before the window heats up. This helps keep heat out and provides extra privacy during the day. STERK assesses the installation, space, color, and operation for each window, so that the screen beautifully matches your facade.

Frequently asked questions about exterior window screens
Why do you place a screen on the outside?
External sunshading is very effective because the sun is stopped before the glass heats up. An external screen keeps rooms cooler and reduces glare. This is particularly pleasant for south or west-facing windows. We will look at your facade and sun exposure to determine the best installation method.
Is this the same as regular screens?
The product falls within the screens category, but the emphasis here is on external window mounting. If you primarily want to compare the sun-blocking function, you can also look at screens sun protection.
When do you choose zip screens outside the window?
When the fabric needs to stay extra taut, zip screens for outdoors are a strong choice. The zip guidance keeps the fabric better in the side guides. This is useful for larger windows, wind-prone facades, or situations where you want a calm, sleek appearance.
Can an exterior screen be electric?
Yes, that's possible. With electric screens you can easily operate the screen from inside. If wiring is difficult, a solar-powered screen can be a good solution. During the home visit, we will review both options.
Does this fall under outdoor sun blinds other than screens?
Yes. An external screen is a form of exterior sun shading screen. The aim is to keep out heat and bright light, while maintaining a sleek facade. We match the colour, casing, and fabric to your home.
Is this also possible with a canopy?
For a canopy, different considerations apply than for a window, such as opening, mounting, and wind loads. For this, we look at canopy screens. We measure on-site and advise whether a screen is technically and practically suitable.
Can an exterior screen be blackout?
Yes, with the right fabric choice, you can significantly reduce light incidence. For bedrooms or spaces where you want a lot of darkness, blackout screens are interesting. We'll show you the difference between filtering and highly darkening fabric with samples.
Can the screen be replaced or chosen for a lower cost?
Often you can have new screen fabric installed later if the system is still in good condition. If you want to pay close attention to the price from the start, also look at cheap screens. STERK provides honest advice on what suits your situation.
