Easily block the heat out of your

House extensions with skylight

Keep your home cool, without sacrificing natural light.

A house extension is great for sitting or cooking in. Especially during the off-season when a lovely ray of sunshine comes in, but in summer it can quickly become unbearably hot. Large windows obviously provide plenty of natural light, but on hot days they also let the heat in unhindered. Fortunately, there is a remedy for this. Sun Eclipse’s sun protection screens keep up to 85% of the heat out on hot days, without sacrificing light. Thanks to the simple installation without drilling or screws, you can easily install the screens and remove them again when needed.

What makes Sun Eclipse screens the ideal sun protection for your house extension with skylight?

  • Easy to attach thanks to specially designed suction cups
  • No need for drilling or screwing
  • Up to 97% heat protection on any type or shape of flat window
  • Protects your interior from sunlight discolouration
  • Easy to place and remove when needed

How does such a screen for my house extension or skylight work?

The trick is to keep the heat out of your house extension or the space under your skylight. Sun Eclipse’s sun protection screens are therefore specially designed to reflect heat easily and quickly. Depending on the type of solar screen, you can keep out up to 97% of the sun’s heat. You easily attach the screens with specially designed suction cups. Thanks to their design, they develop extra suction on your window, so they stay firmly in place during a storm, for example. Is your skylight or house extension difficult to reach from the outside? Then you can also install screens along the inside of your windows.

This does affect the efficiency of your screens.

Are the screens from
Sun Eclipse suitable
for sliding windows?

The suction cups to attach the screens are 3.5 cm high. Keep this in mind if you want to attach them to a sliding window. Is there not enough space for the suction cups? Then choose a screen that you can place on the inside of the window.

Which type of screen do you choose it best for your situation?

For skylights and flat roof windows

For skylights and flat roof windows, we recommend Maximum Sunblock. These sun-blocking screens also have some blackout effect, keeping out up to 97% of solar heat.

  • Blocks up to 97% of the heat
  • Limited light
  • Ideal for living areas and kitchens

 

TIP: For a skylight or flat roof window, it is best to choose a light colour screen (e.g. White). This helps to reflect heat rather than absorb it.

For house extensions

For house extensions, we recommend Optimal view. Thanks to these screens, you can continue to enjoy an optimal view to the outside, yet they block up to 85% of the heat.

  • Blocks up to 85% of the heat
  • Without loss of light
  • Ideal for house extensions overlooking the garden

 

TIP: For house extensions, it is best to choose a dark colour screen (e.g. Black or Anthracite). It sounds contradictory, but these screens provide the best view outside.

Frequently asked questions

At Sun Eclipse, we continually strive to provide our customers with the best possible support. For this reason, we have collected and answered the most common questions in our FAQ. This way, you can easily find answers to all your questions.

Go to FAQ
  • Do Sun Eclipse screens stay put during strong winds?

    Sun Eclipse screens and suction cups stay put even during a spring storm. Our screens catch little wind because they are close to the windows and the suction cups are designed to last.

  • Do the screens fade after a few years?

    No, the screens are UV-resistant and hardly fade. Both the fabric and the suction cups are designed to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight without noticeable loss of quality or appearance.

    Thanks to a special coating, the colors stay vibrant for longer and dirt hardly adheres to the surface.

    In practice, the screens remain in excellent condition season after season, especially if you clean them once a year and store them clean and dry after the season. This way, they last for many years with minimal fading.

  • What does excess fabric mean?

    Because Sun Eclipse screens are placed 2 cm from the window’s surface, the screens are supplied with 1.5 cm excess fabric on each side (3 cm per width and height). As a result, the screens close properly and no heat and light can pass through the edges.

    You can also opt for no excess fabric, for instance, if you have high square upright edges on your window frames. In this case, choose under ‘which type of frame do you have’ the option ‘Deep and angled’ when you order.

    You can request any other changes in the order option. This way you can create a custom sunshade.

  • Can I request a quote?

  • Do you also provide measuring and installation services?

    Sun Eclipse is an affordable solution to keep your home cool. That’s why we operate online only. By letting customers handle the simple measuring and installation themselves, we keep costs, and therefore our prices as low as possible.

     

  • Do the suction cups leave marks on my window?

    No, the suction cups do not leave any permanent marks or damage on the glass. They attach using a strong vacuum to the smooth surface, without any adhesives or chemicals. After removal, you may occasionally notice a light residue, for example from dust or condensation. This can be easily cleaned with the Sun Eclipse Cleaner and a clean cloth.
