Textile roller blinds are ideal"},"content":{"rendered":"

External textile roller blinds: ideal shading for most balconies and internal balconies<\/h2>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

External textile roller blinds<\/a> are the gold standard for shading balconies and internal balconies \u2013 in particular, in the case of unglazed spaces.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

For example, we make the popular zip screens<\/a> at NEVA up to 6 metres in width, so in a lot of cases you\u2019ll shade the entire internal balcony with a single piece of fabric<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

You\u2019ll also find textile roller blinds of use for glazed balconies or internal balconies, where besides providing extra shading they prevent the interior from overheating<\/strong>. But unlike, for example, external blinds, you can pull them up or down only, so you don\u2019t have so much control over light intensity.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

You can anchor external textile roller blinds into the structure of the internal balcony or into the jamb, and thanks to the broad range of colours you can simply match them up to the house fa\u00e7ade. As they feature good wind resistance, you can utilise them on higher levels of buildings as well.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

\u201cWe recommend mounting screen roller blinds in the zip version. In this way, they\u2019re secured in fixed side laths and are more resistant to winds\u201c, says<\/em> Martin Hejzlar, a shading technology specialist at MH st\u00edn\u00edc\u00ed technika<\/a> and one of NEVA\u2019s partners<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n
The structure of the screens won\u2019t take up much room around the jambs and they look elegant on windows.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

External blinds: they provide excellent shading and cooling<\/h2>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

We recommend external blinds only for glazed balconies and glazed internal balconies and only where it is possible to properly anchor them<\/strong>. Theoretically, you may also install them on unglazed balconies but in such cases they are very susceptible to damage.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

Shading of large internal balconies and balconies in particular is complicated since the maximum area of one piece of external blind is 20 sqm, i.e., 5\u00d74 metres. \u201cIf a customer comes with a request for shading a large area that requires more blinds, they must keep in mind that they\u2019ll have a view from the balcony disrupted by a guide profile or cords\u201c, adds <\/em>Martin Hejzlar.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n
In terms of its layout, the Vilapark residential housing estate in Olomouc is an ideal candidate for the shading of balconies.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

Awning: a sensible alternative for unglazed balconies<\/h2>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

However, installing the above-mentioned types of shading is complicated or even impossible for some balconies or internal balconies \u2013 for example, owing to limited anchoring possibilities or the balcony\u2019s size.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

If you reach the conclusion that in your case it is not possible to install textile roller blinds or external blinds, or that their price is unfavourable, consider an extendable awning<\/strong>. It may not be as efficient as blinds and roller blinds but it will still help. Just come to terms with the fact that you can\u2019t extend the awning in heavy winds.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

An extendable awning is ideal mainly for projecting balconies with no ceilings.<\/strong> It is installed most often straight onto the fa\u00e7ade. You\u2019ll be best protected from the sun if you choose a fabric with UV protection and low light permeability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n
Awnings are best suited to shading terraces or unglazed balconies with no ceiling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

Internal shading: cheaper but it won\u2019t provide any protection against heat<\/h2>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

Another option you can apply for glass-fronted balconies and internal balconies is conventional internal shading. With it you will create shade<\/strong> but most of the sunlight will penetrate inside, creating intense heat there. That\u2019s why you should opt for internal shading only if you haven\u2019t got any other option.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

\u201cIn such cases, we usually advise our customers to go for more simple internal shading by means of roller blinds with blackout fabrics that let in just a minimum amount of solar radiation and, thus, heat\u201c,<\/em> concludes Martin Hejzlar.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

Other types of internal shading \u2013 for example, blinds, textile roller blinds, vertical blinds or drapery \u2013 we would advise against using for balconies and internal balconies.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

Even though shading balconies and internal balconies is frequently rather complicated, the resulting climate is worth it.

In summer, balconies and internal balconies, especially glazed ones, turn into a sauna.
