Every summer the heat becomes more and more intense, putting living comfort to the test and increasing the need for efficient solutions for solar shading.

In this context, customer needs are becoming increasingly sophisticated, requiring systems that improve the aesthetics of buildings, but are also highly functional and sustainable.

In this scenario of growing sophistication, SIPAR’s adjustable aluminum sunshades represent the perfect answer that your company can offer to its customers.

But what should these sunshades be like to meet new needs? Continue reading the article.

Necessary characteristics of adjustable aluminum sunshades

The perfect material for adjustable sunshades

First of all, why choose aluminum ?

Aluminum is the material of choice for adjustable sun blinds thanks to its superior technical properties.

First, it is known for its light weight , which facilitates installation and reduces the structural load on buildings.

Its high resistance to corrosion is particularly advantageous in outdoor environments, as it guarantees durability and reduced need for maintenance. Furthermore, it is a material with high reflectivity, which makes it effective in reducing direct solar heat, thus contributing to the energy efficiency of buildings.

Finally, being 100% recyclable , it is also an eco-friendly choice, in line with modern sustainable construction needs.

This is why SIPAR only offers aluminum solutions.

Why choose sunshades with adjustable slats?

The operation of adjustable slats in sunshades represents a technologically advanced solution that offers numerous advantages in terms of solar control, energy efficiency and living comfort. This is why this technology is so popular in modern solar shading systems.

The adjustable slats are the only ones that allow precise management of natural lighting . Depending on the angle of the slats, you can adjust the amount of sunlight entering the interior spaces. This helps maintaining  a comfortable environment, but also helps preventing glare and UV damage to interior furnishings .

The ability to orient the slats based on the position of the sun during the day offers dynamic control that is not possible with fixed solutions.

Dimensions of SIPAR adjustable sunblinds

When we talk about the dimensions of adjustable sunshades, it is important to understand how these influence the aesthetics, but above all the effectiveness of the solar shading. SIPAR offers a range of solutions that can be customized to perfectly adapt to different architectural and functional needs.

The SP80C and SP90Z models , for example, represent two excellent options for various applications. With widths ranging from 600mm to 6000mm and heights up to 4000mm, these sunshades can cover large surfaces without being heavy on the eye.

The slats of these models are designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. For example, the slats of the SP80C model, with a minimum packing size of 140 mm for a height of 600 mm, ensure a small footprint when not in use, maintaining a clean and discreet profile. Likewise, the SP90Z model, with a pack size of 135mm for the same height, offers an equally efficient and compact option.

In addition to size, another key aspect is wind resistance. Both the SP80C and SP90Z models are rated up to Class 4 according to EN 13659 , ensuring high stability even in windy conditions. This feature is crucial for installations in areas subject to gusts of wind, where system safety and durability are essential.

In terms of energy performance , SIPAR sunblinds offer a very competitive solar transmission coefficient (gtot). The SP80C or SP90Z model, for example, have both a gtot value inferior to 0.10 (with window glass B) according to most common colours like grey and silver. This means that it significantly reduces incoming solar heat, improving indoor comfort and reducing the need for air conditioning.

Types of sunblinds: manual, motorized and foldable

When choosing an adjustable sunblind system, it is essential to consider the different types available to best meet the specific needs of the project. SIPAR offers a complete range of solutions, including manual, motorized and foldable sun blinds , each with distinctive characteristics that make them suitable for different applications.

Manual sunblinds

Manual sunblinds are a practical and reliable choice for those looking for a simple but effective system. These systems allow you to adjust the orientation of the slats via a crank mechanism , offering precise control over the amount of light and heat entering the internal spaces.

The ease of use and the absence of electronic components make manual sun blinds particularly suitable for installations where simplicity and durability are priorities.

It must be said that installation is generally simpler and less expensive than motorized systems, therefore making them a convenient solution for small to medium-sized projects.

Motorized sunshades

For those looking for maximum comfort and technology, motorized sunshades are the choice to fall back on. They are systems equipped with electric motors that allow you to adjust the orientation of the slats via remote control or home automation systems . They are systems that adapt very well to high-end commercial and residential buildings, where innovation and home automation are fundamental.

Packable sunshades

Foldable sunblinds represent a versatile and highly functional solution, ideal for spaces that require additional flexibility. This type of blind can be completely closed, folding the slats into a small space when not in use. This feature is particularly useful for applications where it is necessary to completely free the view or natural light, such as in verandas, balconies or building facades with large glass surfaces.

SIPAR’s SP80C and SP90Z models, for example, offer variable packing height, ensuring minimal footprint and easy integration with the building’s architecture.

Advantages of outdoor aluminum sunshades: why offer them to your customers

When the summer heat becomes unbearable and energy saving is a priority, SIPAR’s adjustable sunshades prove to be a strategic choice. Offering these systems to your customers means meeting concrete needs for comfort, efficiency and sustainability.

First and foremost, thermal comfort is key. With adjustable sunblinds, your customers can regulate the amount of light and heat that enters their home or office, while always maintaining a pleasant temperature. In summer, simply tilt the slats to avoid excessive heating of the rooms, while in winter you can maximize the entry of sunlight to reduce heating costs.

Energy efficiency is another crucial aspect. These systems help to significantly reduce energy consumption , because they minimize the use of air conditioning and heating . This translates into cheaper bills and a lower environmental impact, an aspect increasingly appreciated by eco-conscious customers.

The versatility of SIPAR sunblinds allows them to be adapted to any project. The different sizes and models, such as the SP80C and SP90Z, integrate perfectly with the aesthetics of buildings, whether residential or commercial. Furthermore, the possibility to choose between manual, motorized and packable systems offers customization that responds to the specific needs of customers.

Another advantage that should not be underestimated is the advanced technology of motorized sun blinds. We are talking about systems that can be controlled remotely. Imagine offering your customers the convenience of adjusting the lighting and heat with a simple click on the remote control.

Finally, there is the issue of sustainability . SIPAR aluminum sunblinds are entirely recyclable , thus contributing to a more ecological construction. Your customers will appreciate knowing that they are choosing a product that not only improves their daily well-being, but also respects the environment.
