Solar shading
Comfort for every season
Getting sufficient daylight is important for our well-being. And when you know that we spend an average of 90% of our time indoors, you begin to understand why large glass areas are so popular. They are good for fulfilling the demand for natural light, but unfortunately, the simultaneously present a new challenge: how do you avoid it becoming unbearably hot indoors on hot days in the most efficient way? Renson outdoor solar shading blocks the sunrays before they reach the glass and heat up your indoor areas.
What types of solar shading are there?
There are 2 types of solar shading: indoor and outdoor solar shading. You can choose the ideal solar shading from a wide range of solutions for every application. The system that best suits your needs differs from project to project. Renson focuses on outdoor solar shading because it offers the most efficient solution for indoor overheating. Indoor solar shading does block out light, but much less heat. Outdoor solar shading blocks heat efficiently in 2 different ways. It is an interesting choice for both new construction and renovation projects.

What are the advantages of solar shading?
Summers are getting warmer and heat waves are becoming more common. It is therefore a challenge to tackle overheating in the house in a structural and energy-efficient manner. And this is especially true in highly insulated and airtight buildings that make it difficult to remove the heat once it warms up inside. Prevention is better than cure. In addition, enjoy many of the other advantages.
- Reflections of sunlight on screens are a thing of the past.
- The UV rays do not discolour your interior.
- You can still see outside.
- Brise soleil shading adds an architectural eye-catcher to your façade.
- More privacy is created when a privacy fabric or moving blades in the sliding panels are chosen.
- The outdoor blind head box takes up less space in the cavity than a roller shutter box.
A comfortable indoor climate through solar shading
Indoor temperature is an important aspect of a healthy indoor climate, in addition to ventilation for clean indoor air and pleasant acoustics. A stable temperature significantly increases living comfort. Ideally, living spaces should be between 18 and 22 °C. In the winter you turn the heating up a degree, in the summer you want to keep it pleasantly cool.
Solar shading as a weapon against overheating
Tackling overheating is not a black and white story. Solar shading and air conditioning are complementary. Outdoor solar shading is a solid foundation for keeping out the sun’s heat, especially if you combine it with night cooling. An air conditioner can be used during peak times to add some extra cooling power for your indoor spaces. Without investing in solar shading however, an air conditioner will consume a lot of energy, with the corresponding sky-high bill, and only ultimately contribute to even warmer summers. So, start with the basics, with efficient and effective natural outdoor solar shading.

The purpose of solar shading is to keep out the heat from the sun. Outdoor solar shading will block the sunrays before they reach the glass and is therefore the most effective solution. You can also maintain an optimal light level inside and the view to the outside.
The screen fabric rolls up and down in the side guiding channels, which are made windproof by means of a zip, and it is all controlled by high-quality motors. As a result, depending on the season and your wishes, you can roll out the outdoor blinds at any time you like. Use the remote control or Renson Connect app for maximum flexibility at any time. Or the outdoor blinds can be connected to smart sensors to guarantee optimal operation.
Choosing brise soleil shading, the sliding panels hang in rails with brackets and trolleys. They can then be slid in front of the window manually or mechanically in order to regulate how much solar heat enters the house at any time.
