What is sun protection for a canopy?
Sun protection for a canopy helps to limit heat and bright light under your veranda, patio cover, or glass roof. Without good sun protection, a canopy can quickly become warm, especially with a lot of glass. STERK considers the location, dimensions, and use, and advises on which veranda sun protection or screen solution suits your situation.

Frequently asked questions about sun protection for your patio cover
Which sun blinds are suitable for a canopy?
For a canopy, you look at heat under the roof, light incidence and where the sun falls. Sometimes sun protection under the roof makes sense, sometimes on the outside. You will find a similar application for veranda sun protection, because verandas and canopies often have the same heat demand.
Why does it get so hot under a canopy?
Glass, polycarbonate or a solid roof can retain heat. Without sun protection, the temperature quickly rises, making it less comfortable to sit. Good sun protection limits direct radiation and makes the canopy more usable on sunny days.
Is sun protection for a canopy always custom-made?
In practice, almost always. Width, depth, roof pitch, beams and mounting points vary per canopy. STERK measures on site and assesses how the system can be neatly installed without obstructing operation, drainage or appearance.
Can a sunshade under a canopy be electric?
Yes, electric operation is often convenient for awnings, as the fabric can be larger or less easily accessible. If you specifically want electric comfort, also check out electric veranda awnings.
What does a canopy awning cost?
The price depends on the dimensions, type of system, operation, fabric, and installation. A small canopy requires something different than a wide construction with multiple fields. We assess the situation and provide a clear quote, so you know what is technically needed.
What is the difference between conservatory and skylight sun protection?
With a canopy, you are usually under or next to the structure, while a skylight is often part of a house or extension. The heat demand is similar, but installation and accessibility differ. Also view skylight shading.
Can shading for a canopy withstand rain?
Sun protection is primarily intended for protection against the sun, not as a waterproof roof. A fabric can withstand normal outdoor use, but rolling it up wet for an extended period is not advisable. During installation, we will clearly explain how to use and maintain the system.
Does an awning also help against low sun?
That depends on the orientation of your garden and the construction. With a low sun, additional side sun protection may sometimes be necessary. For spaces with a lot of glass and heat build-up, it's also relevant to compare conservatory sun protection.
