A wooden sun canopy above your terrace or a window is structural sun protection at its best. The canopy with fixed wooden slats is attached to the façade and keeps the summer heat out, so your indoor climate stays comfortable. Sustainable, architectural and a sustainable alternative to air conditioning.
A pleasant indoor climate starts outside. A wooden sun canopy on the façade breaks the sunlight exactly where it counts: in front of the window. The fixed slats let in the low winter sun, but keep the high summer sun out. No overheating, no need for air conditioning.
This makes wooden slat sun protection particularly suitable for timber-frame homes. Because of their low building mass, these heat up quickly in winter, but in summer they need a smart buffer. Outdoor sun shading is the most effective choice for this. For sun protection over a larger terrace area, our wooden louvered roof is the best solution.
A wooden sun canopy is structural outdoor sun protection that regulates light and heat in front of the window.
Fully made to measure, in sustainable wood varieties and with a finish of your choice.
Every sun canopy is designed and made to measure for the façade. You can opt for fixed slats for sleek architectural sun protection, or for adjustable slats for maximum flexibility. Depending on the desired width, we can also provide posts in the same wood variety and finish. Natural, oiled or charred black? The choice is entirely yours. If you opt for a natural look, we recommend having the canopy pre-weathered. This way the wood immediately gets a pre-weathered look and you don't have to worry about uneven discolouration on the slats.
A wooden sun canopy is not an accessory, it is an architectural choice. Those who design the outdoors well gain comfort indoors.
The wooden slat awning on the façade of this holiday home in the Ardennes was made entirely to measure in pre-weathered HOTwood ash, just like the cladding. A fine example of how sun protection and architecture reinforce one another.
A wooden sun canopy is ideal for keeping direct sunlight and heat at bay in front of a window or a smaller section of façade. If you want to cover a larger surface, such as a patio or seating area, then a wooden louvered roof offers more possibilities.
With adjustable louvres, you decide how much light, shade and ventilation you let in. This way you create a pleasant outdoor space you can enjoy all year round, with the same warm appearance and sustainable wood varieties as our sun canopies. Existing pergolas and patio covers also gain a refined, architectural character.
