The terrace or the balcony - an additional living space

We all enjoy spending more and more time outdoors. The first sunbeams, the bird twitter, and comfortable temperatures create a pleasurable feeling. The light, the colours, and the temperatures have a wide influence on our individual well-being. An awning helps you to design the additional living space, the terrace or balcony, according to your desires. It not only protects you against sun, rain or undesirable looks, but is also a creative element for your home. Take your time and choose your favourite colour. An awning has a lot of features. The following information might be interesting and useful for your decision.

Sun protection – An awning helps to catch the sunrays and prevents terrace and balcony from heating-up. In case of large panes of glass or conservatories, an overheating of the rooms can happen quickly. Outdoor awnings lower the temperature and work as an air condition. This provides a pleasant atmosphere and a cosy ambient temperature.

 

UV protection – The intensity of the UV-rays increased in the last years continuously - and thus the risk of sunburns and even skin cancer. Underneath an awning, with UV 801 certification, you are well-protected. The UV protection of the desired awning fabric (40,60 or 80) you will find on the corresponding chart.

Rain protection – Conventional awnings with usual awning fabrics could only conditionally be used as rain protection. LEINER SUNRAIN awnings are equipped with a hundred per cent water proof high-performance tissue made of PVC (Precontraint©). The patented awning technology provides, at a slight awning pitch of 5 degrees, an effective rain and sun protection. The fabric is absolutely insensible and easy to clean.

Blind – Do you also want to be protected from the looks of your neighbours? Well then, an awning with a vario valance can help you. An awning fabric, integrated in the front profile, can be stepless winded up and down. Various special tissues, besides the usual fabrics, are available.

 

 

Quality – By now, awning fabric is high-tech tissue. The tissues meet the strict requirements of ÖKO-tex standards.

 

 

Equipment – Some call it NANO! The equipment of an awning fabric works water-repellent and dirt-resistant as well as mildew and algae blocking. The so-called »lotus effect«, well-known in the nature, can be copied, by a special textile upgrading process. The tissue has a perfect dirt resistance and an excellent hydrophobicity.
