Light sensitivity differs from person to person, and plays a large part in the sun shading products we choose. But many other factors also come into play, such as the lighting atmosphere in a room, safety, design and technology. Very few people suit just one type of sun shading – we need to combine them to fit our personalities. Warema, Europe’s market leader for technical sun shading products, has come up with five sun shading types as examples.

The safety-conscious dark sleeper
People in this group want to feel safe and cosy in their bedrooms. To spend the night recovering from the stresses of the day, they need the perfect black-out system. This is the only way that they can get a good night’s deep sleep that boosts their performance and brings harmony to mind and body. Warema roller shutters with handy radio remote control prevent the incidence of bothersome light from streetlights or the early morning sun, ensuring sleep remains undisturbed. They also provide the safety and protection these people need to feel comfortable closing their eyes. The security package for roller shutters with a reinforced push-up guard, widened guide rails and riveting on the inspection covers makes life difficult for thieves and protects effectively against break-ins. This reassurance helps dark sleepers to block out their surroundings and enter the land of dreams with confidence.

The sensitive sun worshipper
Daylight boosts our mood and ability to concentrate. It’s good for body and soul, and sun worshippers know how important this is. With external venetian blinds from Warema, they can direct the incidence of daylight however they wish and enjoy all the benefits of large window facades. The days of hot rooms and intrusive glances are over: external venetian blinds combine heat and glare protection with privacy to form an aesthetically pleasing sun shading solution. If desired, they can catch the sunlight before it hits the windowpanes to stop unwanted heat from entering the room. Alternatively, they can guide natural light into the room without glare to create a pleasant ambience. This enables artificial light to be significantly reduced. If someone wants to bring the outdoors inside – not just daylight, but fresh air too – then an integrated VisionAir pollen protection gauze will protect against pollen and insects. Even people with allergies can make their homes as airy and sunny as possible and harness the benefits of the sun.

The colourful individualist
Individualists know that every detail counts when designing a living space. So it’s just as well that Warema sun shading is available in numerous variants and colours that can be combined as desired. Sun shading gives each room a distinctive character based on its function and style. Whether they want external facade solutions such as roller shutters, external venetian blinds and facade awnings, or to create a new outdoor space with awnings, sun sails or slat roofs – every product is available with various forms of shading and promotes well-being in its own special way. Textile sun shading systems give a cosy feel and invite people to relax at home, snuggled up inside their own four walls. Slats have a particularly modern and elegant feel. Stylishly aligned with the interior or used as a fresh, eye-catching feature, they can blend in with the furnishing style or add attractive pops of colour. And, of course, they reliably protect against heat and provide privacy to create a special lighting atmosphere. Online tools provide initial inspiration for colours and materials from Warema, including the Warema Configurator ( www.warema.de/konfigurator) and the Warema Designer app ( www.warema.de/designer), which can be used to visualise new sun shading systems in the home via augmented reality.

The all-weather outdoor fan
Sun, wind or even rain – nothing keeps outdoor fans from their patios, gardens or balconies. They simply extend their living rooms into the outdoors, provided they are protected from UV rays, gusts and showers. For them, outdoor space is another place to spend their time, if possible all year round. Terrea patio awnings and Perea pergola awnings from Warema create the feel of an outdoor room by reliably covering the balcony or patio and adding to the ambience with their colourful fabrics. Particularly in cities, they also ensure intimacy by providing visual privacy from above. The weatherproof variants can withstand even heavy rain. Additional lateral awnings ensure that a stiff breeze has no chance of ruining outdoor fun on the patio. The Lamaxa roof system is an exclusive and attractive alternative that opens up new favourite spaces in gardens or on patios. With its elegant appearance, the slat roof blends in with the landscape or architecture. It can be adapted to an individual’s wishes, ensuring just the right amount of sunlight falls through the slats from above. When it rains, the slats are closed completely, and a weatherproof outdoor room is created with easyZIP awnings or glass sash frames on the sides. LED lighting and radiant heaters ensure a feel-good atmosphere practically all year round, even when darkness starts to fall. The roof system is available with aluminium slats, fabric curtains or a glass roof, meeting even the highest design requirements.

The environmentally conscious tech lover
Technically minded types control the devices in their homes with convenient digital tools. They enjoy new technologies that make their lives easier and remove the need for manual actions. For example, their smart homes are perfectly networked via automation systems. They care about operating their sun shading with a handy app and about the energy efficiency of their buildings. Automated control systems such as the WMS radio system respond quickly and automatically to changes in temperature and climate, maintaining a pleasant atmosphere while optimising solar energy usage. This significantly reduces energy consumption for heating and cooling. The building doesn’t even need to be occupied; users can rest assured that the system will do everything for them. Another advantage is that automatically lowering the roller shutters or switching on the lights in the evening gives the impression that someone is always home – scaring away potential thieves.
