Saving Energy and Costs in Residential Construction
Green, Greener, Sun Protection
Sustainability and the protection of the climate and environment are playing an increasingly important role in construction and renovation. With our high-quality sun protection solutions, you are choosing genuine energy savers that ensure a perfect indoor climate – while being kind to tomorrow's world and your wallet.
You'll know the feeling. The thermometer climbs above 30 degrees. The shimmering heat of the midday sun makes it hard to keep a cool head, and you long for pleasant temperatures in your house or flat. Climate change has long since become a reality: since weather records began in the 19th century, the 20 hottest summers have all fallen within the last 22 years. This makes it all the more challenging when building and renovating to keep rooms as cool as possible – and to strike a balance between the environment and personal wellbeing. Effective and high-quality sun protection solutions play a decisive role in achieving exactly that.
SUN PROTECTION AS THE MOST EFFECTIVE GREEN TECHNOLOGY
A study by the three sun protection associations IVRSA, BVST and VSR shows just how significant your sun protection is for the energy efficiency of your house or flat. According to the study, made-to-measure sun protection solutions prevent summer overheating and reduce the associated energy demand by up to 95 per cent. This means that variable sun protection fitted in front of the glazing is officially recognised as the most effective green technology against overheating within your own four walls. With our high-quality products for indoors and outdoors – such as awnings, pleated blinds, roller blinds, Venetian blinds, shutters, vertical blinds and panel tracks – you protect yourself and your loved ones from the glaring rays of the sun and sweltering interiors. At the same time, you also protect the environment by maintaining a pleasant indoor climate, without the need for any energy-intensive air conditioning units or fans. That's good news for the environment – and for your wallet, as you save on energy and electricity costs.
WE LIVE SUSTAINABILITY
As a responsible company, the future of our blue planet is particularly close to our hearts. Our privacy and sun protection solutions go hand in hand with climate and environmental protection, because they regulate the power of the sun and save energy for heating, lighting and cooling. But that's not all. We also live the concept of sustainability in the details. We know how important it is to handle resources carefully and conservingly, and we have deeply internalised these values. This is reflected in our use of renewable energy just as much as in the textiles we use, which meet the highest standards for low-pollutant quality. For example, we were one of the first companies in the industry to launch recycled fabrics with the LevelGreen collection, which stands for the sustainable use of materials. And that is just one example of our wide-ranging activities for the environment – and for a shared green future.
