“If the sail is unwound from the fabric shaft, through the rotation of the rope taper the tension ropes are rolled up. In this process tension ropes and sail remain tensioned in every position. Operation is quite easy and within seconds the Shade can roll-out autonomously, roll-in via an operating rope is accomplished just as quickly and easily,” explains the CEO Frank Reisenauer. “It should offer an elegant solution for the quality-conscious consumer with an affinity for design who is looking for smart shading,” he adds.
Up to 34.5 m² shaded area
Furthermore, the rollable sun awning appeals to customers with its versatile application possibilities. It not only serves as a classic sunshade on the terrace, on the balcony or in the conservatory (under-glass version), but is also ideally suited as rain protection. The system-related excellent wind stability allows comparison with classical awnings, possible maximum dimensions of 6 m in width and 5.75 m projection; it thus provides additional advantages when advising customers. The sun awning has CE certification according to DIN EN 13561 and can withstand loads up to wind resistance class 3. The requirements for rain protection class 2 were far exceeded in the test procedure.
Last but not least, the system scores not only in terms of design and range of application, but also with its easy installation on almost any surface. Whereas with a classic awning, massive leverage forces are at work, making it considerably more difficult to mount the awning on substrates that are only just able to withstand the loads, this is not the case here even with a 5.75 m projection.
Individual design
In addition to the standardised column for the stainless steel Shade variant, an offset column and a height-adjustable column are also available at extra cost. This allows the membrane to be lowered by up to 75 cm, which is a considerable advantage when the sun is low in the sky and also serves to control water run-off – even in the heaviest rain. The range includes nine carefully selected fabric colours and three different RAL colours that can be selected as standard for the stainless steel and aluminium accessories.
“Sunlight is most beautiful and healthiest in the shade. That’s why dedication and passion have become the motto at Shadesign: ‘Passion for Shade’ – in real life,” says Reisenauer.
