What is screen shading?
Screen sun blinds are outdoor sun blinds where a vertical screen lowers in front of the window. The screen filters sunlight, limits heat, and provides more privacy during the day. Because the sun is already blocked outside, it remains noticeably more pleasant inside. STERK advises you at home on the right type of screen, fabric choice, operation, and installation for your windows.

If you choose STERK screen shades, you automatically receive a 5-year warranty on the product and installation. Our own technicians will install the screens neatly and explain the operation clearly.

Frequently asked questions about screen blinds
Why choose screens as sun protection?
Screens are excellent for heat regulation, privacy, and daylight retention. They block harsh sunlight without making your window appear completely closed. This makes them suitable for living rooms, studies, and bedrooms. At STERK, we consider sun exposure, window type, and usage to ensure you choose a solution that works well for you every day.
What is the difference from regular screens?
The term screen is often used for the product itself. By screen sun protection, we mean the complete application as outdoor sun protection. If you want extra fabric tension and better guidance, then zip screen sun protection can be a logical step.
Are electric screen blinds available?
Yes. With electric outdoor screens, you can easily operate the sun protection with a switch, remote control, or smart control. If wiring is difficult, screens with solar cells can be an interesting alternative. We will discuss both options during the home visit.
Do external screens provide better sun protection?
Yes, external placement often works best because heat is blocked before the glass heats up. For windows with specific mounting points, we consider a window screen for the exterior. For wider solutions, you might consider exterior sun protection screens.
Can screens provide sun protection for a canopy?
Yes, depending on the construction. Screens can make a patio cover more comfortable by reducing low-lying sun and obstructing views. For these types of situations, we recommend specific patio cover screens, as installation, width, and wind load are different from a regular window.
What fabrics are available for screen blinds?
There are different fabric colors and openness factors. A more open fabric allows for a clearer view outside, while a denser fabric blocks more light. If you want to specifically choose or replace the fabric, please also check our information about screen fabrics.
Are there blackout versions?
Yes, there are fabrics that block much more light than standard screen fabric. For bedrooms or rooms where you want less light, blackout screens are often more suitable. We can show you samples to give you an idea of what to expect from the fabric.
Are screens for sun protection expensive?
That depends on the size, operation and fabric choice. A simple design can be very clever if you mainly want to keep heat out. If you are looking for a fair price, then cheap screens might be interesting. We always provide a custom quote after measuring.
