Installing your Sunscreen External Blinds
Sunscreen external blinds are extremely versatile, and can be installed either recessed into a soffit or surface-mounted on a window. They’re also often installed on pergolas and outdoor rooms such as the Calista to provide cooling, insect protection and shade.
It’s important to ensure that there are good fixing grounds in place to install the blinds. Masonry, steel or wooden pattresses are all good options, subject to site survey.

Electrical Requirements
Sunscreen blinds are very flexible when it comes to wiring, and can be connected with fused spurs or outdoor plugs. The blinds are compatible with both wall switches (hard wiring only) and radio remote controlled motors. They can also be seamlessly connected to a wide range of smart home systems, including Google Assistant, Alexa, SmartThings, HomeKit, Sonos, Philips and Hue.
Wiring In
Recommended where possible. You will need a 13A 230V fused spur located within 300mm of the top of the window reveal for the blinds to be wired into.
Solar Control
If there is no electricity in the proposed installation area, you can choose solar-powered Sunscreen blinds instead.
NB Solar is only available for blinds up to 8.75m2 in size.
Frames & Fabrics
Sunscreen frames, including the headbox, side channels and components including barrels and hembars, are manufactured from high quality aluminium with a robust powdercoated finish. Aluminium is easily recycled and ideal for withstanding harsh weather conditions due to its resistance to corrosion. We can powdercoat your blinds in almost any RAL colour and a range of finishes to ensure a seamless match to your façade.
We use high quality fabrics from well-known European manufacturers including Copaco and Serge Ferrari. Manufactured from tough fiberglass fibres, they are available in several different opennesses as well as full blackouts. Proven to be extremely effective at reflecting heat, our range is designed and tested to withstand harsh environments.
With a huge range available, you are certain to find the right fabric and colour for your needs.
