Sun screens for roof windows

Why mount suction cup sun screens for your roof windows?

A roof window receives direct sunlight and can cause an attic room to heat up quickly. Especially on warm days, the temperature can rise significantly. With suction cup sun screens you can easily place a screen directly onto the glass without drilling or screws.

This helps keep the heat under control and keeps your attic comfortable, even when the sun shines directly on the roof window.

  • Suitable for slanted and angled glass surfaces
  • Suitable for any window with flat glass, including Velux and Fakro roof windows
  • No modifications to the window frame required

Roof window sun screens: exterior or interior installation?

For roof windows you can install the sun screens either on the outside or on the inside of the glass. The best option depends on accessibility and your reference.

    Interior installation, practical heat reduction

    • Ideal for roof windows that are harder to reach
    • Ideal with hard to reach or higher roof windows
    • Creates noticeably lower indoor temperatures

    Up to 97% heat reduction with Maximum Sunblock screens

    Exterior installation, maximum heat reduction

    • Ideal for roof windows that can tilt or rotate in the centre
    • Stops sunlight before the glass heats up
    • Ideal for easily accessible roof windows
    • Suitable for slanted and angled roof windows

Colour and screen type for slanted roof windows

For slanted roof windows the sun often shines directly on the glass. That is why we recommend Maximum Sunblock in the colour White as standard for both interior and exterior installation.

White reflects sunlight optimally and can block up to 97% of heat when mounted outside. This ensures maximum performance from your roof window sun screens and keeps the room noticeably cooler.

Easy installation for both flat roof
windows and slanted roof windows

Our suction cup sun screens are suitable for both flat roof windows and slanted roof windows. Installation is equally simple for both types. Because the screens are fully custom made, they fit perfectly on the glass and can be installed quickly and safely without drilling.

Installation in short:

  1. Clean the window and suction cups
  2. Place the screen and tighten the suction cups
  3. Enjoy a cool and comfortable home all season long genieten van een koel en comfortabel huis

 

Removing the screens is just as quick and easy. Store the sun screens clean and dry so you can easily reinstall them next spring.

Maintenance and lifespan of sun screens with suction cups for inside

Roof windows are often exposed to direct sunlight and therefore receive a lot of UV radiation. At Sun Eclipse both the screen fabric and the vacuum suction cups are resistant to UV radiation and hardly discolour.

After the warm season you can easily remove the screen and store it clean and dry so it is ready to reinstall in spring. For cleaning, use the special Sun Eclipse cleaner and a soft cloth. This allows you to thoroughly clean both the screen and suction cups so they are ready for the next season.

This is why you choose Sun Eclipse:

  • Only needs cleaning once per year
  • Special coating prevents dirt from sticking
  • Resistant to UV radiation and discolouration
  • Suction cups stay attached all season, even during storms
  • Easy to store
  • 5-year warranty on your purchase
  • Durable solution for daily use with years of comfort

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?

    Use our online ordering tool and see the price immediately.

  • 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.
