A vertical awning is a screen-type shading system that rolls down from the top to protect balconies, façades and semi-open spaces from sun, wind and view. It is especially effective on west and south façades where the sun comes in at a low angle.
Advantages
- Cuts low-angle sun and reduces heat gain.
- Privacy for balconies.
- Reduces side wind.
- Can stop at any height; manual or motorised.
Vertical awning or zip screen?
A zip screen locks the fabric into side channels, making it tighter, more wind-resistant and waterproof; a vertical awning is a more economical sun and privacy solution. Combine it with an articulated awning or a pergola.
