Transforming Sunlit Spaces

Even the most effective internal blinds only reduced heat gain by 63%, dimming their view and room.

Recognising Solar-Shield‘s expertise in exterior shading, they sought our advice. We recommended external “zip” screen roller blinds with 5% openness, striking the perfect balance between reducing heat gain and preserving the view, with potential for up to 99.9% heat reduction.

Custom powder-coated hardware seamlessly integrated with new door frames. For added convenience, a Somfy® smart hub automatically closes the blinds at preset times, even when the homeowners are away. While traveling, clients can make remote adjustments from anywhere in the world. Explore our Zip Screens here


From Glaring Heat to Stylish Retreat!

Owners of a new Passive House in Macclesfield were thrilled with their modern design and abundant glazing, but intense heat and glare marred their comfort. Solar-Shield’s solution? External Venetian blinds and MicroLouvre® screens for the upper-level windows effectively managed light and temperature while preserving their view. A patio awning shielded sliding doors from sunlight and extended their outdoor living space. The result: enhanced comfort, controlled light, and expanded outdoor relaxation and entertainment.

For a newly built Midlands home, we introduced a game-changer – tiltable louvres.

The Challenge: Our customer sought an eco-friendly exterior shading solution to boost energy savings and battle heat gain in their open-plan space.

Our Fix: After exploring various options, we determined that external tiltable louvres were the ideal choice. They provide both a clear outdoor view and heat regulation.

The Upgrade: We installed top-tier extruded aluminium louvres to the front exterior of the uniquely shaped apex window. Now, our customer enjoys their open-plan kitchen without turning it into an oven while gazing through the windows.
