Sun protection for windows: comfort, protection and design

At Bouwcenter, we understand that good shading is more than just providing shade. It increases your comfort, protects your interior from UV rays and regulates the heat in your home. Whether you choose screens or shutters, we offer customised solutions that perfectly fit your needs and style.

Why blinds for windows?

Window shading is a smart investment for any type of building. It offers benefits in terms of energy efficiency, privacy and aesthetics. These are some of the reasons to choose blinds:

  • Regulate heat and light: Blinds keep unwanted heat out in the summer and reduce the need for air conditioning. At the same time, you control the amount of natural light in your home.
  • Protect your interior: UV rays can damage furniture, floors and curtains. Sun protection prevents discoloration and extends the life of your interior.
  • Privacy and safety: With blinds, you prevent overlooking and create a comfortable and safe living environment.
  • Energy efficient: Solar shading lowers indoor temperatures, so you use less energy for cooling. This lowers your energy bill as well as your carbon footprint.
  • Visual upgrade: Modern shading systems come in a variety of colours and styles to perfectly match the look of your home.

Which blinds are right for you?

At Bouwcenter, we offer several types of solar shading solutions. Each solution has unique advantages and is suitable for specific situations.

Screens: the versatile option

Screens are sleek and modern, and attach to the outside of your windows. They filter sunlight, keep out heat and provide privacy while still allowing you to look outside.

Why choose screens?

  • Keeps out up to 85% of the sun’s heat, ideal for hot summers.
  • Reduces glare, perfect for high-light work and living spaces.

When do you choose screens?

Screens are ideal if you are looking for a sleek, modern look and are primarily focused on regulating heat and light without completely blacking out.

Roller shutters: extra insulation and security

Roller shutters are multifunctional, providing not only sun protection but also blackout, insulation and additional security. They are placed on the outside of the window and can be operated electrically or manually.

Why choose shutters?
