Sun protection

Awnings, blinds and shutters for the Cádiz sun

In the province of Cádiz the sun is a luxury, but also a challenge, especially on south- and west-facing terraces and windows. Vertical screen awnings and external roller screens stop the heat before it gets in, keep the house cooler in summer and ease the load on the air conditioning.

Indoors, blinds and adjustable aluminium shutters control how much light comes in, prevent glare and give you privacy from neighbours or the street without leaving the house in the dark. They also protect furniture and floors from the sun, and most of them can be motorised.

Your questions answered

What is a vertical screen awning and what is it for?

A vertical screen awning is an external roller blind made of technical fabric that filters sun and heat without blocking the view outside. By stopping the radiation before it reaches the glass, it keeps the house cooler and reduces glare, and it is used on windows, terraces and glass roofs. It runs in side tracks, so it withstands wind better than a folding-arm awning, and it can be manual or motorised. See the models in vertical awnings and screens for windows and roofs.

Which sun protection is best for a terrace or window that gets a lot of sun?

For a terrace or window that gets direct afternoon sun, the best option is usually external sun protection: a vertical screen awning or an external roller screen stops the heat before it reaches the glass. Indoors, roller, Roman or day-and-night blinds control the light precisely, and aluminium shutters give total blackout and security. For large windows, terraces and commercial premises, roller screens with side tracks or a cassette can be automated with a remote, an app or sensors. We will advise you according to the orientation and how you use the space.

Can screen awnings withstand the levante wind?

Vertical screen awnings withstand wind better than folding-arm awnings because they are held in side tracks, but in a strong levante it is best to retract them. The most practical option on the Cádiz coast is to add a motor with a wind sensor, which retracts the awning by itself when the wind picks up. If you need protection from the levante as well as shade, combine it with glass curtains or a pergola designed for wind loads. There is more in our article on how to protect your terrace from the levante in Cádiz (in Spanish).

Does sun protection help reduce heat and air-conditioning costs?

Yes. Sun protection reduces the heat inside your home because it stops the sun's radiation, so rooms stay cooler in summer and the air conditioning works less. It also cuts glare, makes furniture and floors last longer and gives you privacy without giving up natural light, which is very useful when neighbours or the street can see in.
