What is outdoor sun protection?
Outdoor sun protection blocks sun, heat, and bright light before it enters your home. This keeps it cooler inside and provides more comfortable shade outside. For outdoor options, you can consider screens, roller shutters, folding arm awnings, drop arm awnings, canopies, and conservatory sun protection. STERK helps you choose what suits your home.

Frequently asked questions about outdoor sun protection
What does outdoor sun protection include?
Exterior sun protection includes solutions that are placed on the outside of your home, such as screens, awnings, drop arm awnings, and sun protection for your veranda or patio. The great advantage is that the sun is stopped before the glass and interior space can heat up.
Why is external sun protection effective against heat?
This is because external sun blinds block sunlight before it reaches the window or roof. As a result, the glass heats up less and the indoor space remains more comfortable. You'll especially notice the difference quickly on sunny days with south or west-facing windows.
Which outdoor sunshade is suitable for a patio?
For a patio, you look at the shaded area, projection, wind, and appearance. Sometimes an awning attached to the facade works, sometimes a different construction is more logical. Also check out patio awnings if you mainly want to sit comfortably outdoors.
Can external blinds be operated electrically?
Yes, many types of outdoor sun blinds can be electric. This offers convenience and makes it easier to use sun blinds on time. Electric sun blinds are particularly practical for large screens, multiple windows, or hard-to-reach places.
Is outdoor sun protection also suitable for a canopy?
Yes, but the solution differs per construction. A window solution works differently than sun blinds for a roof or veranda. If you have a canopy, check out sun blinds for canopies.
What is the cost of outdoor blinds?
The price depends on the type, size, operation, fabric, and installation. STERK works with clear quotes and fair prices. If you are specifically looking for affordable options, also read about outdoor sun protection for a fair price.
Does exterior sun protection require a lot of maintenance?
Usually that's not too bad. Keep the fabric and cassette clean, avoid using the system unnecessarily in strong winds, and ensure wet fabric dries properly. We'll provide practical maintenance tips upon delivery, tailored to your chosen sunshade.
Will STERK come to your home to look at the outdoor sun protection?
Yes. We assess the facade, windows, mounting points, sun position, and usage. Then, we recommend which exterior sun protection suits your home. This way, you don't get a standard solution, but a choice that is technically sound and looks good.
