“We can't say enough about the quality, craftsmanship, and value”

Sun Protection is an important consideration for new-builds and renovations alike. Whether for terraces, a window, or garden dining areas, shading systems maintain a comfortable temperature for both interiors and exteriors, while also providing UV protection. Beyond these features, they can also add security and extra insulation.
A Range of Customizable Products
At Neuffer we offer a range of different sun UV protection solutions from pergolas for terraces to roller shutters that protect windows and doors. To have products perfectly suit different customer preferences and requirements, many different parts can be tailored. Our window and door shutters can come with different box shapes to add style to exteriors, for instance, and a wide range of colors are available for a personalized finish.
Beyond this, various fabric patterns can be selected for awnings, lighting options added to pergolas, or smart home integration requested. Just read on to find out more or contact our team with questions.
For Windows (and Doors)
Roller shutters
Our roller shutters can be installed above windows, French doors, and certain patio doors, whereas venetian blinds are compatible with windows. Beyond this, the products differ in that roller shutters feature a vinyl or aluminum blind or “curtain” that descends from a storage box over the window or door. The blind can be stopped at a desired height. If it is held when partially descended, small holes can let a little light come through whereas if the blind is fully rolled down, interiors can become very darkened for sleep and excellent security is provided.
Venetian blinds
Venetian blinds, on the other hand, feature connected shade slats rather than a blind or curtain sheet, that descend from a storage box. These slats can come in slightly different shapes to provide darker or lighter interiors when fully descended. Our z-shaped slats are best for bedrooms, for example, and provide the quietest operation. Differently to roller shutters that slide vertically up or down, venetian blind slats can be angled to various degrees to provide nuanced shade depending on the angle of the sun while keeping interiors bright.
For Terraces, Gardens, and Balconies
Awnings & Pergolas
Our awnings and pergolas are ideal for bringing shade to outdoor spaces. Awnings feature a roll of material that can extend out on supports from a storage station attached to the wall. The material is made from an acrylic that sheds water and can protect users from light rain while also providing good UV resistance and necessary shade. Striped or plain motifs are available in a range of custom colors, alongside decorative edging at the front of the awning screen, and there is the option to choose between a crank or smart home integrated motor opening.
For customers who are after a more permanent sunshade protection solution that provides enhanced rain protection, we then offer pergolas. These products feature a roof with slats that can be fully closed or angled to the desired degree for nuanced shade. The roof can sit independently on four posts and be installed at the property or in the garden. Alternatively, the product can be fixed on two posts and attached to a wall. A side zip awning screen can also be added either side for a very protected space with maximum shade.

Enhance Functional Performance
As well as design, our sunshade protection products can be customized in numerous ways to make certain features more prominent or to suit different building types. Roller shutters and venetian blinds can come with two different categories of box type, for example – front or top-mounted. Front-mounted boxes can be installed above windows (or doors) or in the embrasure, which makes them ideal for renovations and new-builds alike. Top-mounted boxes, on the other hand, are best suited to new-builds or renovations where the entire window (or door) is being replaced because they are installed in the reveal at the same time as the new product.
Beyond the box type and design, various models are then available. Some, such as our premium top-mounted roller shutter, feature special insulation for enhanced energy efficiency, for example. When it comes to awnings and pergolas, these can then be similarly configured to perform in an upgraded way. Depending on the product, if a motor option with a Somfy smart home system is chosen, for instance, wind, sun, and rain sensors can be added, which automatically close or open the product depending on the conditions to ensure optimum use, shade, and heat protection.
