Outdoor living ideas can help turn patios, balconies and gardens into comfortable extensions of the home. Made-to-measure sun shading solutions can provide shade, privacy and, depending on the system, weather protection while complementing the architecture.
Compare patio awnings, pergola awnings, WAREMA slat roofs and shade sails for different outdoor spaces. The following outdoor living ideas cover design, planning, operation and care.
The WAREMA Lamaxa slat roof is a louvred pergola with adjustable slats. It allows the amount of light and shade to be adapted to the situation and can be planned as part of a coordinated outdoor living area.
Compare the WAREMA Perea Pergola awning and Terrea retractable awning for different patio layouts. WAREMA awnings are available with different fabrics, colours and configurations.
WAREMA Sonea Shade sails provide flexible textile shading for balconies, patios and gardens. Different shapes, colours and installation variants allow the system to be coordinated with the outdoor space.
The shading and UV protection provided by an awning fabric depend on factors such as the fabric construction, colour and tested UPF rating. Check the stated UPF value and product information for the selected fabric when comparing options.
Picking your ideal awning model from hundreds of designs is not always as easy as you might think. The WAREMA Collection Assistant helps you choose the ideal product based on your requirements and the circumstances on your patio or balcony. The tool uses filter criteria to narrow down the search results and create a visualisation that allows you to swap and preview designs and colours until you've found the perfect match.
Products can also be viewed and tested up close and personal at various WAREMA dealer or at the WAREMA Sun Forum in Wertheim.
Even the most high-grade awning fabric lose their UV protection capabilities, get damaged by bad weather or simply no longer match your personal taste at some point. But the good news is that there's no need to replace your old awning fabric with a completely new sun shading system. Often, the awning frame is still fully functional and intact. In this case, your WAREMA specialised retailer may suggest replace awning fabric with your preferred new fabric, saving you time and money in the process.
Smart home automation for external blinds from WAREMA make your home fit for the future. Automated sun shading products can conveniently be controlled to suit your current requirements in a matter of seconds using the smartphone app, voice assistant or at the press of a button on the hand-held transmitter with no other input required thanks to the smart weather station. Stay out of the rain, enjoy shading precisely where you need it or let in the warm sun in no time at all.
If you take the time to clean up minor stains on your awning or sun sail every now and again and don't just do everything in one go once a year, you'll protect your product against stubborn stains. Leaves, small branches and other coarse dirt couldn't be simpler to quickly remove by hand.
A standard colourless rubber eraser offers a great way to remove smaller streaks of dirt. A soft brush, microfibre cloth or cleaning glove paired with a suitable cleaner like the ACLARIS sun shading system fabric cleaner diluted with warm water can be used to thoroughly yet gently clean the surface of your awning fabric. Finish the cleaning process by applying sun shading system fabric impregnation to protect your sun shading system fabric against damp and dirt in the long term.
