Itzala Awning Blinds

Frequently asked questions

• Can I combine an awning blind with other blinds

  Yes, the awning blind can be combined with any kind of interior blind for additional light control and comfort. You can also add an insect screen for an insect free environment. Please note that if you combine an awning blind with an interior solar powered blind, the ability of the interior blind's solar cells to recharge the batteries will be reduced or eliminated. Also note that electrically operated and solar powered blinds cannot be combined.

• Is an awning blind the right solution for my room and needs?

  The main purpose of an awning blind is heat protection. It is an exterior blind that blocks the direct rays of the sun and can significantly reduce heat intake. The awning blinds are made from a weather resistant net fabric for long lasting performance. We recommend them for all rooms where you would like to reduce heat and increase comfort.

• When should I select an Itzala awning blind?

  Even in winter, roof windows can become uncomfortably hot, but the Itzala awning blind overcomes this problem by shielding the glass from the outside. The awning blind reduces incoming heat significantly and stops the sun before it even hits the window pane. It also pleasantly diffuses the incoming light. The tough, glass fibre PVC coated awning is rot-proof and dirt resistant and can be used to dampen the noise of heavy rain before it hits the pane. When not in use, the awning is discreetly fitted and protected inside the hood of the window. The Itzala awning blind is available for VELUX roof windows. Please note, the Itzala awning blind isn't compatible with VELUX roof windows (electrically operated roof windows).

• How durable are Itzala blinds?

  Tested to last. Each blind is tested 7,000 times for reliability and durability.
