Sun protection:
Shutters, fabric blinds, or slatted blinds?
What is the best way to protect my home from sunlight?
Everyone wants a light-filled home with plenty of daylight in each room. Even when planning a building, the optimal room layout is designed according to the sun, because especially in the cooler months, it is important to allow plenty of warmth and light into the rooms.
Modern materials and innovative glass composites ensure that the generous view of the outdoors is energy-efficient and creates a comfortable indoor climate. Large, floor-to-ceiling windows are very much in vogue, and the warm light of the sun bathes the rooms in a cozy atmosphere, even in winter.
However, during the summer months, the sun can heat up rooms uncomfortably around midday. To reliably prevent this, effective sun protection is required that must meet several requirements. Protection against excessive sunlight should be easy to maintain, durable, and also match the appearance of the house. In addition to simple awnings and classic slatted blinds, aluminum folding and sliding shutters offer a modern sun protection alternative that meets all requirements, both technically and visually.

Fabric blinds, slatted blinds, or shutters made of aluminum?
Fabric awnings are often the first choice for patios and balconies when it comes to protecting rooms from the direct midday heat. They are easy to install, relatively inexpensive to purchase, and available in many widths and colors. Motorized versions can even be operated by remote control. One disadvantage is that the fabric covering is only partially weather-resistant and heavy rain can cause damage.
Venetian blinds are well suited to the large window fronts of modern buildings and protect against excessive heat radiation without darkening the room too much. They offer the advantage of being able to control how much light enters the room through various adjustment options. Depending on how far the slatted blinds are lowered and how the slats are aligned, more or less light can enter the interior of a building.
But everything that slatted blinds can do, hinged and sliding shutters can do too. In addition to fabric and slatted blinds, modern aluminum window shutters are a real alternative, as technical innovations and innovative ideas offer many advantages. Shutters are not only a visual highlight. They also protect against direct sunlight and help regulate the indoor climate in a wide range of weather conditions. Shutters also offer a major visual advantage over other solutions: they are always visible, whether open or closed.

Thermal shutters regulate the room temperature.
The name EHRET stands for high-quality aluminum shutters, and over the years the company has launched various innovations that offer additional benefits alongside protection from the sun and weather. EHRET’s heat-insulating shutters reflect the heat from solar radiation in summer, ensuring a pleasant indoor climate without the need for additional energy consumption from air conditioning or fans. A cool air cushion is created between the shutter and the window pane, which significantly minimizes room heating.
The insulation provided by the shutters also has a positive effect on energy consumption in cold weather, as the warm air between the window and the heat-insulating folding shutter is retained and even gusts of wind do not cause significant heat loss. The room temperature can be maintained without additional energy consumption. The practical advantages of heat-insulating shutters are complemented by the wide range of design options, as many preferences can be taken into account in terms of design and color.

Soundproof shutters
for even greater comfort.
The SILENCIO soundproof shutter from EHRET not only protects against sunlight, but also offers other advantages. It protects against noise and thus contributes to well-being. Especially in cities, on busy roads or railway lines, noise pollution can be a significant disturbance when windows are open. However, thanks to the sophisticated technical design of the SILENCIO soundproof shutter, you can effectively protect your living spaces from noise.
The shutters are available as sliding shutters or hinged shutters. They significantly reduce outside noise even when windows are tilted. The exact values must be verified by a separate project-specific test, as they may vary depending on the structural installation situation.

When appearance and style
are decisive factors.
Modern slatted blinds fit perfectly into many new buildings with large window fronts. Awnings can also be optimally adapted to the color and size of the house front or the terrace and garden design. However, the durability and maintenance requirements of these sun protection options depend on the weather. EHRET aluminum shutters, on the other hand, are particularly easy to maintain and offer ideal sun protection.
In addition, they offer energy-saving benefits and a wide range of design options. They are a real eye-catcher on any façade and complete the appearance of a building. EHRET shutters are not only available in more than 4000 colors and designs, but also feature easy-care and durable surfaces that look like new for decades.
A special coating allows water to roll off the shutters, washing away any dirt particles and reducing the frequency of cleaning. You can choose from hinged, sliding, and folding sliding shutters, which can be adapted to any window size. They offer excellent sun protection. Motorized controls also ensure maximum comfort and an elegant appearance.
